John 7

CHAPTER 7
1After these things Jesus walked into Galilee, for he would not walk into Judea, for the Jews sought to slay him.
2And there was nigh a feast day of the Jews, Scenopegia, [that is, a feast of tabernacles].
3And his brethren said to him, Pass from hence, and go into Judea, that also thy disciples see thy works that thou doest;
4for no man doeth anything in huddles, and himself seeketh to be open, [+or forsooth no man doeth anything in hid place, or privy, and he seeketh to be in open]. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5For neither his brethren believed in him.
6Therefore Jesus saith to them, My time came not yet, but your time is evermore ready.
7The world may not hate you, soothly it hateth me; for I bear witnessing thereof, that the works of it be evil.
8Go ye up to this feast day, but I shall not go up to this feast day, for my time is not yet fulfilled [or full-filled].
9When he had said these things, he dwelt in Galilee.
10And after that his brethren were gone up, then he went up to the feast day, not openly, but as in private.
11Therefore the Jews sought him in the feast day, and said, Where is he?
12And much grutching was of him among the people. For some said, That he is good; and others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the people;
13nevertheless no man spake openly of him, for dread of the Jews.
14But when the middle feast day came, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15And the Jews wondered, and said, How knoweth this man letters, since he hath not learned?
16Jesus answered to them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or I speak of myself.
18He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is soothfast, and unrightwiseness is not in him.
19Whether Moses gave not to you a law, and none of you doeth [or keep-eth] the law? What seek ye to slay me?
20And the people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to slay thee?
21Jesus answered, and said to them, I have done one work, and all ye wonder.
22Therefore Moses gave to you circumcision; not for it is of Moses, but of the fathers; and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man.
23If a man take circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, have ye indignation, [or wrath], to me, for I made all a man whole in the sabbath?
24Do not ye deem after the face, but deem ye a rightful doom.
25Therefore some of Jerusalem said, Whether this is not he, whom the Jews seek to slay?
26and lo! he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Whether the princes know verily that this is Christ?
27But we know this man, of whence he is; but when Christ shall come, no man knoweth of whence he is.
28Therefore Jesus cried in the temple teaching, and said, Ye know me, and ye know of whence I am; and I came not of myself, but he is true that sent me, whom ye know not.
29I know him, and if I say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar; but I know him, for of him I am, and he sent me.
30Therefore they sought to take him, and no man set on him hands, for his hour came not yet.
31And many of the people believed in him, and said, When Christ shall come, whether he shall do more tokens than those that this doeth?
32The Pharisees heard the people musing of him, these things; and the princes and the Pharisees sent min-isters, to take him.
33Therefore Jesus said to them, Yet a little time I am with you, and I go to the Father, that sent me.
34Ye shall seek me, and ye shall not find me; and where I am, ye may not come.
35Therefore the Jews said to them-selves, Whither shall this go, for we shall not find him? whether he will go into the scattering of heathen men, and will teach the heathen?
36What is this word, which he said, Ye shall seek me, and ye shall not find me; and where I am, ye may not come?
37But in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood, and cried, and said, If any man thirsteth, come he to me, and drink.
38He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Floods of quick water shall flow out of his womb.
39But he said this thing of the Spirit [or of the Holy Ghost], whom men that believed in him should take; for the Spirit was not yet given, for Jesus was not yet glorified.
40Therefore of that company, when they had heard these words of him, they said, This is verily a prophet.
41Others said, This is Christ. But some said, Whether Christ cometh from Galilee?
42Whether the scripture saith not, that of the seed of David, and of the castle of Bethlehem, where David was, Christ cometh?
43Therefore dissension was made among the people for him.
44And some of them would have taken him, but no man set hands on him.
45Therefore the ministers came to the bishops, and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why brought ye not him?
46The ministers answered, Never man spake so, as this man speaketh.
47Therefore the Pharisees answered to them, Whether ye be deceived also?
48whether any of the princes, or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49But this people, that knoweth not the law, be cursed.
50Nicodemus saith to them, he that came to him by night, that was one of them,
51Whether our law deemeth a man, but it have first heard of him [or no but first it have heard of him], and know what he doeth?
52They answered, and said to him, Whether thou art a man of Galilee also? Seek thou scriptures, and see thou, that a prophet riseth not of Galilee.
53And they turned again, each into his house.
