John 7:2-23

²The Iewes tabernacle feast was at honde.

³His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get ye hence and go into Iewry that thy disciples maye se thy workes that thou doest.

⁴For ther is no man that doeth eny thing secretly and he him selfe seketh to be knowen. Yf thou do soche thinges shewe thy selfe to the worlde.

⁵For as yet his brethren beleved not in him.

⁶Then Iesus sayd vnto them: My tyme is not yet come youre tyme is all waye redy.

⁷The worlde cannot hate you. Me it hateth: because I testify of it that the workes of it are evyll.

⁸Go ye vp vnto this feast. I will not go vp yet vnto this feast for my tyme is not yet full come.

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

¹⁰But assone as his brethren were goone vp then went he also vp vnto the feast: not openly but as it were prevely.

¹¹Then sought him the Iewes at the feast and sayde: Where is he?

¹²And moche murmurynge was ther of him amonge the people. Some sayde: He is good. Wother sayde naye but he deceaveth the people.

¹³How be it no man spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes

¹⁴In the middes of the feast Iesus went vp into the temple and taught.

¹⁵And the Iewes marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he the scriptures seynge that he never learned?

¹⁶Iesus answered them and sayde: My doctrine is not myne: but his that sent me.

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

¹⁸He that speaketh of him selfe seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh his prayse that sent him the same is true and no vnrightewesnes is in him.

¹⁹Dyd not Moses geve you a lawe and yet none of you kepeth the lawe? Why goo ye aboute to kyll me?

²⁰The people answered and sayde: thou hast the devyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the?

²¹Iesus answered and sayde to them: I have done one worke and ye all marvayle.

²²Moses therfore gave vnto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Saboth daye circumcise a man.

²³If a man on the Saboth daye receave circumcision without breakinge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me because I have made a man every whit whoale on the saboth daye?
