- 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 ye 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.
- 41
- Others said, This is the Christ.
But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
- 42
- Hath not the Scripture saide, that Christ commeth of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethlehem, where Dauid was?
- 43
- So there was diuision among the people because of him.
- 44
- And some of them would haue taken him, but no man layed hands on him.
- 45
- Then came the officers to the chiefe Priests and Pharises, and they said vnto them, Why haue ye not brought him?
- 46
- The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man.
- 47
- Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceiued?
- 48
- Haue any of the rulers, or of the Pharises beleeued on him?
- 49
- But this people who knoweth not the Law, are cursed.
- 50
- Nicodemus saith vnto them, (He that came to Iesus by night, being one of them,)
- 51
- Doth our Law iudge any man before it heare him, & know what he doth?
- 52
- They answered, and said vnto him, Art thou also of Galilee?
Search, and looke: for out of Galilee ariseth no Prophet.
- 53
- And euery man went vnto his owne house.
