7:6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7:7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify of it that its works are evil.
7:8 Go ye up unto this feast; I go not up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
7:9 And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
7:10 But when his brethren were gone up, then he also went up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
7:11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast and said, Where is he?
7:12 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.
7:13 But no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How does this man know letters, having never learned?
7:16 Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
7:17 If anyone desires to do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God or whether I speak of myself.
7:18 He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do ye go about to kill me?
7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon; who goes about to kill thee?
7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
7:22 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.
7:23 If a man on the sabbath day receives circumcision without the law of Moses being broken, are ye angry at me because I have made a man entirely whole on the sabbath day?
7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
7:25 Then one of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
7:26 But, behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Have the rulers truly understood that this is indeed the Christ?
7:27 But we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one shall know where he is from.
7:28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye know me, and ye know from where I come, but I have not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
7:29 But I know him, for I am from him, and he has sent me.
7:30 Then they sought to take him, but no one laid hands on him because his hour was not yet come.
7:31 And many of the people believed in him and said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this man has done?
7:32 The Pharisees heard the people that murmured such things concerning him, and the princes of the priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.
7:33 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I shall be with you, and then I shall go unto him that sent me.
7:34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I shall be, ye shall not be able to come.
7:35 Then the Jews said among themselves, Where will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
7:36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find me, and where I shall be ye shall not be able to come?
7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come unto me and drink.
7:38 He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 (But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which those that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet given because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
7:40 Then many of the people, when they heard this word, said, Truly this is the Prophet.
7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall the Christ come out of Galilee?
7:42 Has not the scripture said, That the Christ comes of the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?
7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
7:44 And some of them would have taken him, but no one laid hands on him.
7:45 Then the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees came, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
7:46 The officers answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man.
7:47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
7:48 Have any of the princes or of the Pharisees believed on him?
7:49 But this people who do not know the law are cursed.
7:50 Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),
7:51 Does our law judge any man before it hears him and knows what he does?
7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see, for a prophet has never arisen out of Galilee.
