JOHN 7:1-17

¹And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

²Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.

³His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.

⁴For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.

⁵For even his brethren did not believe on him.

⁶Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is alway ready.

⁷The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.

⁸Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.

⁹And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

¹⁰But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

¹²And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

¹³Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

¹⁵The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or whether I speak from myself.
