| # Chapter 7
#### 1 | And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
#### 2 | Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
#### 3 | His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.
#### 4 | For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
#### 5 | For even his brethren did not believe on him.
#### 6 | Jesus therefore saith 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 its works are evil.
#### 8 | Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
#### 9 | And having said these things unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.
#### 10 | But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
#### 11 | The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
#### 12 | And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.
#### 13 | Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
#### 14 | But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
#### 15 | The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
#### 16 | Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
#### 17 | If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.
#### 18 | He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him 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 doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?
#### 20 | The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
#### 21 | Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof.
#### 22 | Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.
#### 23 | If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?
#### 24 | Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
#### 25 | Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
#### 26 | And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
#### 27 | Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
#### 28 | Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
#### 29 | I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.
#### 30 | They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.
#### 31 | But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?
#### 32 | The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.
#### 33 | Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me.
#### 34 | Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come.
#### 35 | The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
#### 36 | What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
#### 37 | Now on the last day, the 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, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
#### 39 | But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
#### 40 | [Some] of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.
#### 41 | Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
#### 42 | Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
#### 43 | So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
#### 44 | And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
#### 45 | The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?
#### 46 | The officers answered, Never man so spake.
#### 47 | The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?
#### 48 | Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
#### 49 | But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.
#### 50 | Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),
#### 51 | Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?
#### 52 | They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
#### 53 | And they went every man unto his own house:
