John 7:4-23

⁴for no man doeth anything in huddles (or in secret), and himself seeketh to be (out in the) open, +or forsooth no man doeth anything in hid place, or (in) privy, (or for no one doeth anything in a hidden place, or in private), and he seeketh to be (out) in (the) open. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

⁵For neither his brethren believed in him.

⁶Therefore Jesus saith to them, My time came not yet, but your time is (for)evermore ready. (My hour hath not yet come, or It is not yet my time, but it is always your time.)

⁷The world may not hate you, soothly it hateth me; for I bear witnessing thereof (or for I testify to it), that the works of it be evil.

⁸Go ye up to this feast day, but I shall not go up to this feast day, for my time is not yet fulfilled, or full-filled, (or for my time is not yet filled full, or hath not yet fully come to fruition).

⁹When he had said these things, he dwelt in Galilee.

¹⁰And after that his brethren were gone up, then he went up to the feast day, not openly, but as in private.

¹¹Therefore the Jews sought him in the feast day (or And so the Jews looked for him on the Feast Day, or at the Festival), and said, Where is he?

¹²And much grudging was of him among the people (or And there was much grumbling about him among the people). For some said, That he is good; and others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the people;

¹³nevertheless no man spake openly of him, for dread of the Jews (or for fear of the Jews).

¹⁴But when the middle feast day came, Jesus went up into the temple (or Jesus went to the Temple), and taught.

¹⁵And the Jews wondered, and said, How knoweth this man letters, since he hath not learned? (or How can this man know so much, since he hath not studied?)

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

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

¹⁸He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is soothfast (or is truthful), and unrightwiseness is not in him.

¹⁹Whether Moses gave not to you a law, and none of you doeth or keepeth the law? What seek ye to slay me? (Did not Moses give you the Law? and yet none of you obeyeth the Law. Why do ye seek to kill me?)

²⁰And the people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to slay thee?

²¹Jesus answered, and said to them, I have done one work, and all ye wonder.

²²Therefore Moses gave to you circumcision; not for it is of Moses, but of the fathers, (or not that it was from Moses, but from the fathers); and in (or on) the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

²³If a man take circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, (why) have ye indignation, or wrath, to me, for I made all a man whole in the sabbath? (And if a man receive his circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses be not broken, then why have ye indignation, or wrath, against me, for I made a man all whole, or I healed him, on the Sabbath?)
