7John 7

1After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.Select John 7:1

2Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand.Select John 7:2

3And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.Select John 7:3

4For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.Select John 7:4

5For neither did his brethren believe in him.Select John 7:5

6Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.Select John 7:6

7The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil,Select John 7:7

8Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not accomplished.Select John 7:8

9When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.Select John 7:9

10But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.Select John 7:10

11The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where is he?Select John 7:11

12And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.Select John 7:12

13Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.Select John 7:13

14Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.Select John 7:14

15And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?Select John 7:15

16Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.Select John 7:16

17If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.Select John 7:17

18He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him.Select John 7:18

19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?Select John 7:19

20Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill thee?Select John 7:20

21Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder.Select John 7:21

22Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.Select John 7:22

23If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?Select John 7:23

24Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment.Select John 7:24

25Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?Select John 7:25

26And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ?Select John 7:26

27But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth, whence he is.Select John 7:27

28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.Select John 7:28

29I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me.Select John 7:29

30They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.Select John 7:30

31But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth?Select John 7:31

32The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.Select John 7:32

33Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.Select John 7:33

34You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.Select John 7:34

35The Jews therefore 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?Select John 7:35

36What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?Select John 7:36

37And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.Select John 7:37

38He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.Select John 7:38

39Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.Select John 7:39

40Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.Select John 7:40

41Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?Select John 7:41

42Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was?Select John 7:42

43So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.Select John 7:43

44And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him.Select John 7:44

45The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?Select John 7:45

46The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.Select John 7:46

47The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?Select John 7:47

48Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?Select John 7:48

49But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.Select John 7:49

50Nicodemus said to them (he that came to him by night, who was one of them):Select John 7:50

51Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him and know what he doth?Select John 7:51

52They answered and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.Select John 7:52

53And every man returned to his own house.Select John 7:53
