John 7

1And after these thingsG3778 JesusG2424 walkedG4043 in GalileeG1056: for he would not walkG4043 in Judæa, because the JewsG2453 soughtG2212 to killG615 him. 2NowG1161 the feastG1859 of the JewsG2453, the feastG1859 of tabernacles, wasG1510 at hand. 3His brethren thereforeG3767 saidG3004 unto him, DepartG3327 hence, and goG5217 into Judæa, that thy disciplesG3101 alsoG2532 may behold thy worksG2041 which thou doest. 4For no manG3778 doeth anythingG5100 in secretG2927, and himself seeketh to beG1510 known openlyG3954. If thou doest these thingsG3778, manifestG5319 thyself to the worldG2889. 5For evenG3761 his brethren did not believeG4100 on him. 6JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saith unto them, My timeG2540 isG1510 not yet come; but your timeG2540 isG1510 alwaysG3842 readyG2092. 7The worldG2889 cannot hateG3404 you; but me it hateth, because I testifyG3140 of it, that its worksG2041 areG1510 evilG4190. 8GoG305 ye up unto the feastG1859: I goG305 not up unto this feastG1859; because my timeG2540 is not yetG3768 fulfilled. 9And having saidG3004 these thingsG3778 unto them, he abode still in GalileeG1056.

10But whenG5613 his brethren were goneG305 up unto the feastG1859, then wentG305 he alsoG2532 up, not publicly, but as it were in secretG2927. 11The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 soughtG2212 him at the feastG1859, and saidG3004, WhereG4226 isG1510 he? 12And there wasG1510 muchG4183 murmuring among the multitudesG3793 concerningG4012 him: some saidG3004, He isG1510 a goodG18 man; othersG243 saidG3004, Not so, but he leadeth the multitudeG3793 astrayG4105. 13Yet no man spake openlyG3954 of him for fearG5401 of the JewsG2453.

14But when it was nowG1161 the midst of the feastG1859 JesusG2424 wentG305 up into the templeG2411, and taughtG1321. 15The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 marvelled, sayingG3004, HowG4459 knoweth this manG3778 lettersG1121, having neverG3361 learnedG3129? 16JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 them, and saidG3004, My teachingG1322 isG1510 not mine, but his that sentG3992 me. 17If any man willeth to do his will, he shall knowG1097 of the teachingG1322, whether it isG1510 of GodG2316, or whether I speakG2980 from myself. 18He that speaketh from himself seeketh his ownG2398 gloryG1391: but he that seeketh the gloryG1391 of him that sentG3992 him, the sameG846 isG1510 trueG227, and no unrighteousnessG93 isG1510 in him. 19Did not MosesG3475 giveG1325 you the lawG3551, and yet noneG3762 of you doeth the lawG3551? WhyG5101 seekG2212 ye to killG615 me? 20The multitudeG3793 answeredG611, Thou hast a demonG1140: who seeketh to killG615 thee? 21JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto them, I did oneG1520 workG2041, and ye all marvelG2296 because thereof. 22MosesG3475 hath givenG1325 you circumcisionG4061 (not that it isG1510 of MosesG3475, but of the fathersG3962); and on the sabbathG4521 ye circumciseG4059 a manG444. 23If a manG444 receiveth circumcisionG4061 on the sabbathG4521, that the lawG3551 of MosesG3475 may not be brokenG3089; are ye wroth with me, because I madeG4160 a manG444 every whit wholeG3650 on the sabbathG4521? 24JudgeG2919 not accordingG2596 to appearance, but judgeG2919 righteousG1342 judgmentG2920.

25Some thereforeG3767 of them of JerusalemG2415 saidG3004, IsG1510 not this he whom they seekG2212 to killG615? 26And lo, he speaketh openlyG3954, and they sayG3004 nothing unto him. Can it beG1510 that the rulersG758 indeed knowG1097 that this isG1510 the ChristG5547? 27Howbeit we knowG1097 this manG3778 whence he isG1510: but whenG3752 the ChristG5547 cometh, no oneG3762 knoweth whence he isG1510. 28JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 criedG2896 in the temple, teachingG1321 and sayingG3004, Ye both know me, and know whence I amG1510; and I amG1510 not comeG2064 of myself, but he that sentG3992 me isG1510 trueG228, whom ye know not. 29I know him; because I amG1510 from him, and he sentG649 me. 30They soughtG2212 thereforeG3767 to take him: and no man laidG1911 his handG5495 on him, because his hourG5610 was not yet comeG2064. 31But of the multitudeG3793 manyG4183 believedG4100 on him; and they saidG3004, WhenG3752 the ChristG5547 shall comeG2064, will he do moreG4183 signsG4592 than those which this manG3778 hath done? 32The PhariseesG5330 heardG191 the multitudeG3793 murmuring these thingsG3778 concerningG4012 him; and the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 sentG649 officersG5257 to take him. 33JesusG2424 thereforeG3767 saidG3004, Yet a little while amG1510 I with you, and I goG5217 unto him that sentG3992 me. 34Ye shall seekG2212 me, and shall not findG2147 me: and whereG3699 I amG1510, ye cannot comeG2064. 35The JewsG2453 thereforeG3767 saidG3004 among themselves, Whither will this manG3778 goG4198 that we shall not findG2147 him? will he goG4198 unto the DispersionG1290 among the GreeksG1672, and teachG1321 the GreeksG1672? 36What isG1510 this wordG3056 that he saidG3004, Ye shall seekG2212 me, and shall not findG2147 me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, ye cannot comeG2064?

37NowG1161 on the lastG2078 dayG2250, the greatG3173dayG2250of the feastG1859, JesusG2424 stoodG2476 and criedG2896, sayingG3004, If any man thirstG1372, let him comeG2064 unto me and drinkG4095. 38He that believeth on me, as the scriptureG1124 hath saidG3004, from within him shall flow riversG4215 of livingG2198 waterG5204. 39But this spake he of the SpiritG4151, which they that believedG4100 on him wereG1510 to receiveG2983: for the SpiritG4151 wasG1510 not yet given; because JesusG2424 wasG1510 not yet glorifiedG1392. 40Some of the multitudeG3793 thereforeG3767, when they heardG191 these wordsG3056, saidG3004, This isG1510 of a truth the prophetG4396. 41OthersG243 saidG3004, This isG1510 the ChristG5547. But some saidG3004, What, doth the ChristG5547 comeG2064 out of GalileeG1056? 42Hath not the scriptureG1124 saidG3004 that the ChristG5547 cometh of the seedG4690 of DavidG1138, and from BethlehemG965, the villageG2968 whereG3699 DavidG1138 wasG1510? 43So there aroseG1096 a divisionG4978 in the multitudeG3793 because of him. 44And some of them would have taken him; but no man laidG1911 handsG5495 on him.

45The officersG5257 thereforeG3767 cameG2064 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and PhariseesG5330; and they saidG3004 unto them, WhyG5101 did ye not bringG71 him? 46The officersG5257 answeredG611, NeverG3763 manG444 soG3779 spake. 47The PhariseesG5330 thereforeG3767 answeredG611 them, Are ye alsoG2532 led astrayG4105? 48Hath any of the rulersG758 believedG4100 on him, or of the PhariseesG5330? 49But this multitudeG3793 that knoweth not the lawG3551 areG1510 accursed. 50NicodemusG3530 saith unto them (he that cameG2064 to him before, beingG1510 oneG1520 of them), 51Doth our lawG3551 judgeG2919 a manG444, except it firstG4413 hearG191 from himself and knowG1097 what he doeth? 52They answeredG611 and saidG3004 unto him, Art thou alsoG2532 of GalileeG1056? SearchG2045, and seeG3708 that out of GalileeG1056 ariseth no prophetG4396.

53[And they wentG4198 every manG1538 unto his own houseG3624:
