✧After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him. ✧2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand. ✧3His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest. ✧4For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world. ✧5For neither did his brethren believe in him. ✧6Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready. ✧7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil. ✧8Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come. ✧9When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee. ✧10But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. ✧11Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? ✧12And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. ✧13Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews. ✧14Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. ✧15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? ✧16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. ✧17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself. ✧18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. ✧19Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? ✧20The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? ✧21Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel. ✧22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man. ✧23If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? ✧24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment. ✧25Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? ✧26But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? ✧27Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. ✧28Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. ✧29But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me. ✧30Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. ✧31And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done? ✧32The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him. ✧33Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me. ✧34Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come. ✧35Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? ✧36What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come? ✧37In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. ✧38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. ✧39(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) ✧40Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. ✧41Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? ✧42Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? ✧43So there was a division among the people because of him. ✧44And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him. ✧45Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? ✧46The officers answered, Never man spake like this man. ✧47Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? ✧48Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? ✧49But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. ✧50Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) ✧51Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? ✧52They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet. ✧53And every man went unto his own house.
