John 7 King James Version 1611

From Textus Receptus

• 1 After these things, Iesus walked in Galilee: for hee would not walk in Iurie, because the Iewes sought to kill him.
• 2 Now the Iewes feast of Tabernacles was at hand.
• 3 His brethren therefore saide vnto him, Depart hence, and go into Iudea, that thy Disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
• 4 For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and hee himselfe seeketh to be knowen openly: If thou doe these things, shew thy selfe to þe world.
• 5 For neither did his brethren beleeue in him.
• 6 Then Iesus said vnto 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 testifie of it, that the workes thereof are euill.
• 8 Goe ye vp vnto this feast: I goe not vp yet vnto this feast, for my time is not yet full come.
• 9 When he had said these words vnto them, he abode still in Galilee.
• 10 ¶ But when his brethren were gone vp, then went he also vp vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
• 11 Then the Iewes sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
• 12 And there was much murmuring among the people, concerning him: For some said, Hee is a good man: Others said, Nay, but he deceiueth the people.
• 13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of him, for feare of the Iewes.
• 14 ¶ Now about the middest of the feast, Iesus went vp into the Temple, and taught.
• 15 And the Iewes marueiled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, hauing neuer learned?
• 16 Iesus answered them, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
• 17 If any man will doe his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.
• 18 He that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh his owne glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no vnrighteousnesse is in him.
• 19 Did not Moses giue you the Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? Why goe ye about to kill me?
• 20 The people answered, and sayd, Thou hast a deuill: Who goeth about to kill thee?
• 21 Iesus answered, and saide vnto them, I haue done one worke, and yee all marueile.
• 22 Moses therefore gaue vnto you Circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and yee on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.
• 23 If a man on the Sabbath day receiue circumcision, that the Lawe of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I haue made a man euery whit whole on the Sabbath day?
• 24 Iudge not according to the appearance, but iudge righteous iudgement.
• 25 Then said some of them of Hierusalem, Is not this hee, whome they seeke to kill?
• 26 But loe, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing vnto him: Doe the rulers know indeede that this is the very Christ?
• 27 Howbeit wee know this man whence he is: but when Christ commeth, no man knoweth whence he is.
• 28 Then cried Iesus in the Temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am, and I am not come of my selfe, but he that sent me, is true, whom ye know not.
• 29 But I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
• 30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his houre was not yet come.
• 31 And many of the people beleeued on him, & said, When Christ commeth, will hee doe moe miracles then these which this man hath done?
• 32 ¶ The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him: And the Pharisees and the chiefe Priests sent officers to take him.
• 33 Then said Iesus vnto them, Yet a litle while am I with you, and then I goe vnto him that sent me.
• 34 Ye shall seeke me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither yee cannot come.
• 35 Then saide the Iewes among themselues, Whither will hee goe, that we shall not find him? will he goe vnto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
• 36 What maner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seeke me, and shall not find me? and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
• 37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Iesus stood, and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come vnto me, and drinke.
• 38 He that beleeueth on me, as the Scripture hath saide, out of his belly shall flow riuers of liuing water.
• 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit which they that beleeue on him, should receiue. For the holy Ghost was not yet giuen, because that Iesus was not yet glorified.)
• 40 ¶ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, saide, Of a trueth this is the Prophet.
