John 7:1-24
- 1
- After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
- 2
- Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
- 3
- His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
- 4
- For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
- 5
- For neither did his brethren believe in him.
- 6
- Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
- 7
- The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
- 8
- Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
- 9
- When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
- 10
- But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
- 11
- Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
- 12
- And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
- 13
- Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
- 14
- Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
- 15
- And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
- 16
- Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
- 17
- If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
- 18
- He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
- 19
- Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
- 20
- The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
- 21
- Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
- 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.
- 23
- If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, 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?
- 24
- Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
