* After these things , Iesus walked in Galile , and woulde not walke in Iudea : for the Iewes sought to kill him . * Now the Jews ' (note :)This feast was so called because of the booths and tents which they made out of different types of boughs , and sat under them seven days altogether ; and during this entire time the feast went on .(:note ) feast of tabernacles was at hand . * * For there is no man that doeth any thing secretely , and hee himselfe seeketh to be famous . If thou doest these things , shewe thy selfe to the worlde . * For neither did his (note :)His relatives : for the Hebrews used to speak in this way .(:note ) brethren believe in him . * * The world can not hate you : but me it hateth , because I testifie of it , that the workes thereof are euill . * Go ye vp vnto this feast : I wil not go vp yet vnto this feast : for my time is not yet fulfilled . * These things he sayde vnto them , and abode still in Galile . * * Then the Iewes sought him at the feast , and saide , Where is hee ? * And much murmuring was there of him among the people . Some said , He is a good man : other sayd , Nay : but he deceiueth the people . * Howbeit no man spake (note :)Or , boldly and freely : for the majority of the Jews wanted nothing more than to extinguish his fame and his name .(:note ) openly of him for fear of the Jews . * * And the Iewes marueiled , saving , Howe knoweth this man the Scriptures , seeing that hee neuer learned ! * * If any man will doe his will , he shall knowe of the doctrine , whether it be of God , or whether I speake of my selfe . * * * The people answered , and said , Thou hast a deuil : who goeth about to kill thee ? * * Moses therefore gaue vnto you circumcision , (not because it is of Moses , but of the fathers ) &amp ; ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man . * If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision , that the (note :)That is to say , if the law of circumcision which Moses gave matters so much to you that you do not hesitate to circumcise upon the sabbath , do you rightly reprove me for thoroughly healing a man ?(:note ) 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 ? * * * And beholde , he speaketh openly , and they say nothing to him : doe the rulers know in deede that this is in deede that Christ ? * * * But I knowe him : for I am of him , and he hath sent me . * * Now many of the people beleeued in him , and said , When that Christ commeth , will he doe moe miracles then this man hath done ? * * Then saide Iesus vnto them , Yet am I a little while with you , and then goe I vnto him that sent mee . * Ye shall seeke me , and shall not finde me , and where I am , can ye not come . * Then said the Jews among themselves , Whither will he go , that we shall not find him ? will he go unto the (note :)Literally , «to the dispersion of the Gentiles » or «Greeks », and under the name of the Greeks he refers to the Jews who were dispersed among the Gentiles .(:note ) dispersed among the Gentiles , and teach the Gentiles ? * What saying is this that hee saide , Ye shall seeke mee , and shall not finde mee ? and where I am , cannot ye come ? * * He that believeth on me , as the (note :)The scripture being referred to is not found anywhere word for word , but rather Christ seems to be referring to many different places where mention is made of the gifts of the Holy Spirit ; see ( Joe_2:28-29 ; Isa_44:3 ) and especially ( Isa_55:1-13 ).(:note ) scripture hath said , out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water . * (But this spake he of the Spirit , which they that believe on him should receive : for the (note :)What is meant by the Holy Spirit he expressed a little before , speaking of the Spirit which they that believed in him should receive . So that by the name of Holy Spirit are meant the powers and mighty workings of the Holy Spirit .(:note ) Holy Ghost was not yet [given ]; because that Jesus was not yet That is , those things were not yet seen and perceived which were to show and set forth the glory of the only begotten . glorified .) * * Other saide , This is that Christ : and some said , But shall that Christ come out of Galile ? * Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seede of Dauid , and out of the towne of Beth-leem , where Dauid was ? * So was there dissension among the people for him . * And some of them would haue taken him , but no man layde handes on him . * * The officers answered , Neuer man spake like this man . * Then answered them the Pharises , Are yee also deceiued ? * * But this people , which know not the Law , are cursed . * Nicodemus said vnto them , ( he that came to Iesus by night , and was one of them .) * Doth our law judge [any ] man , before it hear him , and know (note :)What the one who is accused has committed .(:note ) what he doeth ? * They answered , and said vnto him , Art thou also of Galile ? Searche and looke : for out of Galile ariseth no Prophet . *
