* After these things Jesus walked in Galilee : for he would not walk in Jewry , because the Jews sought to kill him . * Now the Jew ' feast of tabernacles was at hand . * His brothers therefore said to him , Depart hence , and go into Judaea , that your disciples also may see the works that you do . * For there is no man that does any thing in secret , and he himself seeks to be known openly . If you do these things , show yourself to the world . * For neither did his brothers believe in him . * Then Jesus said to them , My time is not yet come : but your time is always ready . * The world cannot hate you ; but me it hates , because I testify of it , that the works thereof are evil . * Go you up to this feast : I go not up yet to this feast : for my time is not yet full come . * When he had said these words to them , he stayed still in Galilee . * But when his brothers were gone up , then went he also up to the feast , not openly , but as it were in secret . * Then the Jews sought him at the feast , and said , Where is he ? * And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him : for some said , He is a good man : others said , No ; but he deceives the people . * However , no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews . * Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple , and taught . * And the Jews marveled , saying , How knows this man letters , having never learned ? * Jesus answered them , and said , My doctrine is not mine , but his that sent me . * If any man will do his will , he shall know of the doctrine , whether it be of God , or whether I speak of myself . * He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory : but he that seeks his glory that sent him , the same is true , and no unrighteousness is in him . * Did not Moses give you the law , and yet none of you keeps the law ? Why go you about to kill me ? * The people answered and said , You have a devil : who goes about to kill you ? * Jesus answered and said to them , I have done one work , and you all marvel . * Moses therefore gave to you circumcision ; (not because it is of Moses , but of the fathers ;) and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man . * If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision , that the law of Moses should not be broken ; are you angry at me , because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day ? * Judge not according to the appearance , but judge righteous judgment . * Then said some of them of Jerusalem , Is not this he , whom they seek to kill ? * But , see , he speaks boldly , and they say nothing to him . Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ ? * However , we know this man from where he is : but when Christ comes , no man knows from where he is . * Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught , saying , You both know me , and you know from where I am : and I am not come of myself , but he that sent me is true , whom you know not . * But I know him : for I am from him , and he has sent me . * Then they sought to take him : but no man laid hands on him , because his hour was not yet come . * And many of the people believed on him , and said , When Christ comes , will he do more miracles than these which this man has done ? * The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him ; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him . * Then said Jesus to them , Yet a little while am I with you , and then I go to him that sent me . * You shall seek me , and shall not find me : and where I am , thither you cannot come . * Then said the Jews among themselves , Where will he go , that we shall not find him ? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles , and teach the Gentiles ? * What manner of saying is this that he said , You shall seek me , and shall not find me : and where I am , thither you cannot come ? * In the last day , that great day of the feast , Jesus stood and cried , saying , If any man thirst , let him come to me , and drink . * He that believes on me , as the scripture has said , out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water . * (But this spoke 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 .) * Many of the people therefore , when they heard this saying , said , Of a truth this is the Prophet . * Others said , This is the Christ . But some said , Shall Christ come out of Galilee ? * Has not the scripture said , That Christ comes of the seed of David , and out of the town of Bethlehem , where David was ? * So there was a division among the people because of him . * And some of them would have taken him ; but no man laid hands on him . * Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees ; and they said to them , Why have you not brought him ? * The officers answered , Never man spoke like this man . * Then answered them the Pharisees , Are you also deceived ? * Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him ? * But this people who knows not the law are cursed . * Nicodemus said to them , (he that came to Jesus by night , being one of them ,) * Does our law judge any man , before it hear him , and know what he does ? * They answered and said to him , Are you also of Galilee ? Search , and look : for out of Galilee rises no prophet . * And every man went to his own house .
