John 7
Joh 7:1 After these
things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn't walk in Judea,
because the Jews sought to kill him.
Joh 7:2 Now the feast
of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
Joh 7:3 His brothers
therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea,
that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
Joh 7:4 For no one does
anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do
these things, reveal yourself to the world."
Joh 7:5 For even his
brothers didn't believe in him.
Joh 7:6 Jesus therefore
said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always
ready.
Joh 7:7 The world can't
hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works
are evil.
Joh 7:8 You go up to
the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is
not yet fulfilled."
Joh 7:9 Having said
these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Joh 7:10 But when his
brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not
publicly, but as it were in secret.
Joh 7:11 The Jews
therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
Joh 7:12 There was much
murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, "He is
a good man." Others said, "Not so, but he leads the
multitude astray."
Joh 7:13 Yet no one
spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Joh 7:14 But when it
was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and
taught.
Joh 7:15 The Jews
therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters,
having never been educated?"
Joh 7:16 Jesus
therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who
sent me.
Joh 7:17 If anyone
desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it
is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
Joh 7:18 He who speaks
from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him
who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Joh 7:19 Didn't Moses
give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek
to kill me?"
Joh 7:20 The multitude
answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"
Joh 7:21 Jesus answered
them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
Joh 7:22 Moses has
given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers),
and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
Joh 7:23 If a boy
receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not
be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely
healthy on the Sabbath?
Joh 7:24 Don't judge
according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
Joh 7:25 Therefore some
of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to
kill?
Joh 7:26 Behold, he
speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers
indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
Joh 7:27 However we
know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one
will know where he comes from."
Joh 7:28 Jesus
therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You
both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself,
but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.
Joh 7:29 I know him,
because I am from him, and he sent me."
Joh 7:30 They sought
therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his
hour had not yet come.
Joh 7:31 But of the
multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Christ
comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done,
will he?"
Joh 7:32 The Pharisees
heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the
chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Joh 7:33 Then Jesus
said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to
him who sent me.
Joh 7:34 You will seek
me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."
Joh 7:35 The Jews
therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we
won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and
teach the Greeks?
Joh 7:36 What is this
word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I
am, you can't come'? "
Joh 7:37 Now on the
last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If
anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
Joh 7:38 He who
believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow
rivers of living water."
Joh 7:39 But he said
this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive.
For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn't yet
glorified.
Joh 7:40 Many of the
multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, "This is
truly the prophet."
Joh 7:41 Others said,
"This is the Christ." But some said, "What, does the
Christ come out of Galilee?
Joh 7:42 Hasn't the
Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from
Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Joh 7:43 So there arose
a division in the multitude because of him.
Joh 7:44 Some of them
would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
Joh 7:45 The officers
therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to
them, "Why didn't you bring him?"
Joh 7:46 The officers
answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"
Joh 7:47 The Pharisees
therefore answered them, "You aren't also led astray, are you?
Joh 7:48 Have any of
the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Joh 7:49 But this
multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."
Joh 7:50 Nicodemus (he
who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
Joh 7:51 "Does our
law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows
what he does?"
Joh 7:52 They answered
him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet
has arisen out of Galilee."
Joh 7:53 Everyone went
to his own house,
