| John 7:1 |
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for He would not walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. |
| John 7:2 |
Now the Jews' Feast of Tabernacles was near. |
| John 7:3 |
His brothers therefore said to Him, Depart from here and go into Judea, so that Your disciples also may behold Your works which You are doing; |
| John 7:4 |
For no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] openly. If You do these things, manifest Yourself to the world. |
| John 7:5 |
For not even His brothers believed into Him. |
| John 7:6 |
Jesus therefore said to them, My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. |
| John 7:7 |
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. |
| John 7:8 |
You go up to the feast; I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled. |
| John 7:9 |
And having said these things to them, He remained in Galilee. |
| John 7:10 |
But when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not openly, but as [it were] in secret. |
| John 7:11 |
The Jews therefore sought Him at the feast and said, Where is He? |
| John 7:12 |
And there was much murmuring about Him among the crowds: some said, He is a good man; but others said, No; rather He leads the crowd astray. |
| John 7:13 |
Yet no one spoke openly about Him for fear of the Jews. |
| John 7:14 |
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. |
| John 7:15 |
The Jews therefore marveled and said, How does this man know letters, without ever having studied? |
| John 7:16 |
Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. |
| John 7:17 |
If anyone resolves to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. |
| John 7:18 |
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him, this One is true, and unrighteousness is not in Him. |
| John 7:19 |
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill Me? |
| John 7:20 |
The crowd answered, You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You? |
| John 7:21 |
Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and you all marvel. |
| John 7:22 |
For the same reason Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. |
| John 7:23 |
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? |
| John 7:24 |
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge the righteous judgment. |
| John 7:25 |
Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the One whom they are seeking to kill? |
| John 7:26 |
And look, He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him. Have the rulers, perhaps, really recognized that this is the Christ? |
| John 7:27 |
But we know where this man is from; yet when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from. |
| John 7:28 |
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. |
| John 7:29 |
I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me. |
| John 7:30 |
They sought then to seize Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. |
| John 7:31 |
But many out of the crowd believed into Him and said, Will the Christ, when He comes, do more signs than this man has done? |
| John 7:32 |
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent attendants to arrest Him. |
| John 7:33 |
Jesus therefore said, I am still with you a little while, and [then] I am going to Him who sent Me. |
| John 7:34 |
You will seek Me and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come. |
| John 7:35 |
The Jews then said to one another, Where is this man about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the [Jews in] dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? |
| John 7:36 |
What is the word which He said, You will seek Me and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come? |
| John 7:37 |
Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. |
| John 7:38 |
He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water. |
| John 7:39 |
But this He said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified. |
| John 7:40 |
[Some] of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is truly the Prophet. |
| John 7:41 |
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee? |
| John 7:42 |
Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes out of the seed of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? |
| John 7:43 |
So there arose a division among the crowd because of Him. |
| John 7:44 |
And some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him. |
| John 7:45 |
The attendants therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and these said to them, Why did you not bring Him? |
| John 7:46 |
The attendants answered, Never has a man spoken as this man [has.] |
| John 7:47 |
The Pharisees then answered them, Have you also been deceived? |
| John 7:48 |
Has any one of the rulers or Pharisees believed into Him? |
| John 7:49 |
But this crowd which does not know the law is accursed. |
| John 7:50 |
Nicodemus said to them (he who came to Him before, being one of them), |
| John 7:51 |
Does our law condemn a man unless it first hears from him and knows what he is doing? |
| John 7:52 |
They answered and said to him, Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee. |
| John 7:53 |
And everyone went to his [own] house. |
