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 alway 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.
