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