Jesus Teaches at the Feast

1 After° these° things° Jesus° awas walking° in Galilee°, for He was unwilling°° to walk° in Judea° because° bthe Jews° cwere seeking° to kill° Him. 2 Now° the feast° of the Jews°, athe Feast° of Booths°, was near°. 3 Therefore° His abrothers° said° to Him, “Leave° here° and go° into Judea°, so° that Your bdisciples° also° may see° Your works° which° You are doing°. 4 For no° one° does° anything° in secret° Iwhen° he himself° seeks° to be [known] publicly°. If° You do° these° things°, show° Yourself° to the world°.” 5 For not even° His abrothers° were believing° in Him. 6 So° Jesus° *said° to them, aMy time° is not yet° here°, but your time° is always° opportune°. 7 aThe world° cannot°° hate° you, but it hates° Me because° I testify° of it, that bits deeds° are evil°. 8 Go° up to the feast° yourselves°; I do not go° up to this° feast° because° aMy time° has not yet° fully° come°.” 9 Having said° these° things° to them, He stayed° in Galilee°.

10 ¶ But when° His abrothers° had gone° up to the feast°, then° He Himself° also° went° up, not publicly°, but as if°, in secret°. 11 aSo° the Jews° bwere seeking° Him at the feast° and were saying°, “Where° is He?” 12 There was much° grumbling° among° the crowds° concerning° Him; asome°° were saying°, “He is a good° man°”; others° were saying°, “No°, on the contrary°, He leads° the people° astray°.” 13 Yet° no° one° was speaking° openly° of Him for afear° of the Jews°.

Who° seeks° to kill° You?” 21 Jesus° answered° them, “I did° aone° Ideed°, and you all° marvel°. 22 For this° reason° aMoses° has given° you circumcision° (not because° it is from Moses°, but from bthe fathers°), and on [the] Sabbath° you circumcise° a man°. 23 aIf° a man° receives° circumcision° on [the] Sabbath° so° that the Law° of Moses° will not be broken°, are you angry° with Me because° I made° an entire° man° well° on [the] Sabbath°? 24 Do not ajudge° according° to appearance°, but Ijudge° with righteous° judgment°.”

25 ¶ So° some° of the people° of Jerusalem° were saying°, “Is this° not the man whom° they are seeking° to kill°? 26 Look°, He is speaking° publicly°, and they are saying° nothing° to Him. aThe rulers° do not really° know° that this° is Ithe Christ°, do they? 27 However°, awe know° where° this° man° is from; but whenever° the Christ° may come°, no° one° knows° where° He is from.” 28 Then° Jesus° cried° out in the temple°, ateaching° and saying°, bYou both° know° Me and know° where° I am° from; and cI have not come° of Myself°, but He who sent° Me is true°, whom° you do not know°. 29 aI know° Him, because° bI am° from Him, and cHe sent° Me.” 30 So° they awere seeking° to seize° Him; and no° man° laid° his hand° on Him, because° His bhour° had not yet° come°. 31 But amany° of the crowd° believed° in Him; and they were saying°, “bWhen° Ithe Christ° comes°, He will not perform° more° IIcsigns° than those which° this° man° has, will He?”

32 ¶ The Pharisees° heard° the crowd° muttering° these° things° about° Him, and the chief° priests° and the Pharisees° sent° aofficers° to bseize° Him. 33 Therefore° Jesus° said°, aFor a little° while° longer° I am° with you, then° bI go° to Him who sent° Me. 34 aYou will seek° Me, and will not find° Me; and where° I am°, you cannot°° come°.” 35 aThe Jews° then° said° to one° another°, “bWhere° does this° man° intend° to go° that we will not find° Him?

37 ¶ Now° on athe last° day°, the great° [day] of the feast°, Jesus° stood° and cried° out, saying°, IbIf° anyone° is thirsty°, IIlet him come° to Me and drink°. 38 He who believes° in Me, aas the Scripture° said°, ‘From Ihis innermost° being° will flow° rivers° of bliving° water°.’” 39 But this° He spoke° aof the Spirit°, whom° those° who believed° in Him were to receive°; for bthe Spirit° was not yet° [given], because° Jesus° was not yet° cglorified°.

Division of People over Jesus

40 ¶ [Some] of the people° therefore°, when they heard° these° words°, were saying°, “This° certainly° is athe Prophet°.” 41 Others° were saying°, “This° is Ithe Christ°.” Still others° were saying°, “aSurely° Ithe Christ° is not going to come° from Galilee°, is He? 42 Has not the Scripture° said° that the Christ° comes° from athe descendants° of David°, and from Bethlehem°, the village° where° David° was?” 43 So° aa division° occurred° in the crowd° because° of Him. 44 aSome° of them wanted° to seize° Him, but no° one° laid° hands° on Him.

Jesus reproveth the ambition and boldness of his kinsmen:

1º Afterº these thingsº Jesusº walkedºª inº Galilee:º forº he wouldºª notº walkºª inº Jewry,º becauseº the² Jewsº soughtºª to killºª him.º 2 Nowº the² Jews'º feastº of tabernaclesº wasºª at hand.º 3 Hisº brethrenº thereforeº saidºª untoº him,º Departºª hence,º andº goºª intoº Judaea,º thatº thyº disciplesº alsoº may seeºª the² worksº thatº thou¹ doest.ºª 4 Forº [there is] no manº [that] doethºª any thingº inº secret,º andº he² himself¹ seekethºª to beºª known openly.ºº Ifº thou doºª these things,º shewºª thyselfº to the² world.º 5 Forº neitherº did¹ª hisº brethrenº believeºª inº him.º 6 Thenº Jesusº saidºª unto them,º Myº timeº is¹ª not yetº come:ºª butº yourº timeº isºª alwayº ready.º 7 The² worldº cannotººª hateºª you;º butº meº it hateth,ºª becauseº Iº testifyºª ofº it,º thatº the² worksº thereofº areºª evil.º 8 Go¹ª ye¹ upºª² untoº thisº feast:º Iº go¹ª not¹ª up¹ª yetº² untoº thisº feast;º forº myº timeº is¹ª not yetº full come.ºª 9 Whenº he had saidºª these wordsº unto them,º he abodeºª [still] inº Galilee.º

teacheth in the Temple.

14 ¶ Now¹² about¹² the midst² of¹ª the² feastº Jesusº went upºª intoº the² temple,º andº taught.ºª 15 Andº the² Jewsº marvelled,ºª saying,ºª Howº knowethºª this manº letters,º having¹ª neverº learned?ºª 16 Jesusº answeredºª them,º andº said,ºª Myº doctrineº isºª notº mine,º butº his that sentºª me.º 17 Ifº any manº willºª doºª hisº will,º he shall knowºª ofº the² doctrine,º whetherº it beºª ofº God,º orº [whether] Iº speakºª ofº myself.º 18 He that speakethºª ofº himselfº seekethºª his ownº glory:º butº he that seekethºª his gloryº that sentºª him,º the sameº isºª true,º andº noº unrighteousnessº isºª inº him.º 19 Did¹ª notº Mosesº giveºª youº the² law,º andº [yet] noneº ofº youº keepethºª the² law?º Whyº go ye aboutºª to killºª me?º 20 The² peopleº answeredºª andº said,ºª Thou hastºª a devil:º whoº goeth aboutºª to killºª thee?º 21 Jesusº answeredºª andº saidºª unto them,º I have doneºª oneº work,º andº ye¹ª allº marvel.ºª 22 Mosesº thereforeºº gaveºª unto youº circumcision;º (notº becauseº it isºª ofº Moses,º butº ofº the² fathers;)º andº ye¹ª onº the sabbath dayº circumciseºª a man.º 23 Ifº a manº onº the sabbath dayº receiveºª circumcision,º that¹ª² the² lawº of Mosesº should¹ª not¹² be broken;ºª are ye angryºª at me,º becauseº I have madeºª a manº every whitº wholeº onº the sabbath day?º 24 Judgeºª notº according² to¹ the appearance,º butº judgeºª righteousº judgment.º 25 Thenº saidºª someº ofº them of Jerusalem,º Isºª notº thisº he, whomº they seekºª to kill?ºª 26 But,º lo,º he speakethºª boldly,º andº they sayºª nothingº unto him.º Do¹ª² the² rulersº knowºª indeedº¹ thatº thisº isºª the² veryº Christ?º 27 Howbeitº we knowºª this manº whenceº he is:ºª butº whenº Christº cometh,ºª no manº knowethºª whenceº he is.ºª 28 Thenº criedºª Jesusº inº the² templeº as he taught,ººª saying,ºª Ye both¹ know me,ºª² andº ye knowºª whenceº I am:ºª andº I am¹ª notº comeºª ofº myself,º butº he that sentºª meº isºª true,º whomº yeº knowºª not.º 29 Butº Iº knowºª him:º forº I amºª fromº him,º and heº hath sentºª me.º 30 Thenº they soughtºª to takeºª him:º butº no manº laidºª handsº onº him,º becauseº hisº hourº was¹ª not yetº come.ºª 31 Andº manyº ofº the² peopleº believedºª onº him,º andº said,ºª¹ Whenº Christº cometh,ºª will he² doº¹ª moreº miraclesº than theseº whichº thisº [man] hath done?ºª
