John 7:5-25

⁵For neither his brethren believed in him.

⁶Therefore Jesus saith to them, My time came not yet, but your time is evermore ready.

⁷The world may not hate you, soothly it hateth me; for I bear witnessing thereof, 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.

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, and said, Where is he?

¹²And much grutching was of 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.

¹⁴But when the middle feast day came, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

¹⁵And the Jews wondered, and said, How knoweth this man letters, since he hath not learned?

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 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, and unrightwiseness is not in him.

¹⁹Whether Moses gave not to you a law, and none of you doeth or keep-eth the law? What seek ye to slay 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; and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

²³If a man take circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, have ye indignation, or wrath, to me, for I made all a man whole in the sabbath?

²⁴Do not ye deem after the face, but deem ye a rightful doom.

²⁵Therefore some of Jerusalem said, Whether this is not he, whom the Jews seek to slay?
