2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.Log in to add notes

3His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.Log in to add notes

4For 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.Log in to add notes

5For neither did his brethren believe in him.Log in to add notes

6Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.Log in to add notes

7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.Log in to add notes

8Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.Log in to add notes

11Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?Log in to add notes

12And 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.Log in to add notes

13Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.Log in to add notes

14Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.Log in to add notes

15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?Log in to add notes

16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.Log in to add notes

17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.Log in to add notes

18He 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.Log in to add notes

19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?Log in to add notes

20The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?Log in to add notes

21Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.Log in to add notes

22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.Log in to add notes

23If 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?Log in to add notes

25Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?Log in to add notes

26But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?Log in to add notes

27Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.Log in to add notes

28Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.Log in to add notes

29But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.Log in to add notes

30Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.Log in to add notes

31And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?Log in to add notes

32The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.Log in to add notes

33Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.Log in to add notes

34Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.Log in to add notes

35Then said the Jews 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?Log in to add notes

36What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?Log in to add notes

37In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.Log in to add notes

38He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.Log in to add notes
