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 Me it hateth, because I testify of it that the works thereof are evil.
7:8 Go ye up unto this feast. I go not up yet unto this feast, for My time is not yet fully come.”
7:9 When He had said these words unto them, He remained still in Galilee.
7:10 But when His brethren had 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,” and others said, “Nay, for he deceiveth the people.”
7:13 Yet no man 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 marveled, saying, “How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?”
7:16 Jesus answered them, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His that sent Me.
7:17 If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine whether it be from God, or whether I speak from Myself.
7:18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but He that seeketh 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 keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill Me?”
7:20 The people answered and said, “Thou hast a devil. Who goeth 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 receive circumcision on the Sabbath day, 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?
7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
7:25 Then said some of them from Jerusalem, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
7:26 But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
7:27 Yet we know from whence this man comes; but when Christ cometh, no man will know from whence He comes.”
7:28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple as He taught, saying, “Ye both know Me, and ye know from whence I am. And I am 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 hath sent Me.”
7:30 Then they sought to take Him; but no man laid hands on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
7:31 And many of the people believed in Him and said, “When Christ cometh, will He do more miracles than these which this man hath done?”
7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, “Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto Him that sent Me.
7:34 Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me; and where I am, thither ye cannot come.”
7:35 Then the Jews said 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?
7:36 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’?”
7:37 On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If any man thirst, let him come unto Me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth in Me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.”
7:39 (But this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believe in Him should receive; for the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, “In truth this is the Prophet.”
7:41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
7:42 Hath not the Scripture said that Christ cometh out 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 man laid hands on Him.
7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said unto them, “Why have ye not brought him?”
7:46 The officers answered, “Never did man speak like this man!”
7:47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are ye also deceived?
7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
7:49 But this people, who knoweth not the law, are cursed.”
7:50 Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),
7:51 “Doth our law judge any man before it hear him and know what he doeth?”
7:52 They answered and said unto him, “Art thou also from Galilee? Search and look, for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.”
