John 7:1-25

¹After these things, Iesus walked in Galile, and woulde not walke in Iudea: for the Iewes sought to kill him.

²Nowe the Iewes feast of the Tabernacles was at hande.

³His brethren therefore sayde vnto him, Depart hence, and goe into Iudea, that thy disciples may see thy woorkes that thou doest.

⁴For there is no man that doeth any thing secretely, and hee himselfe seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, shewe thy selfe to the worlde.

⁵For as yet his brethren beleeued not in him.

⁶Then Iesus saide vnto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway readie.

⁷The world can not hate you: but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes thereof are euill.

⁸Go ye vp vnto this feast: I wil not go vp yet vnto this feast: for my time is not yet fulfilled.

⁹These things he sayde vnto them, and abode still in Galile.

¹⁰But assoone as his brethren were gone vp, then went hee also vp vnto the feast, not openly, but as it were priuilie.

¹¹Then the Iewes sought him at the feast, and saide, Where is hee?

¹²And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, He is a good man: other sayd, Nay: but he deceiueth the people.

¹³Howbeit no man spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes.

¹⁴Nowe when halfe the feast was done, Iesus went vp into the Temple and taught.

¹⁵And the Iewes marueiled, saving, Howe knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that hee neuer learned!

¹⁶Iesus answered them, and saide, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷If any man will doe his will, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.

¹⁸Hee that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh his owne glorie: but hee that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no vnrighteousnes is in him.

¹⁹Did not Moses giue you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the lawe? Why goe ye about to kill me?

²⁰The people answered, and said, Thou hast a deuil: who goeth about to kill thee?

²¹Iesus answered, and saide to them, I haue done one worke, and ye all maruaile.

²²Moses therefore gaue vnto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

²³If a man on the Sabbath receiue circumcision, that the Lawe of Moses should not be broken, be ye angrie with me, because I haue made a man euery whit whole on the Sabbath day?

²⁴Iudge not according to the appearance, but iudge righteous iudgement.

²⁵Then saide some of them of Hierusalem, Is not this he, whom they goe about to kill?
