After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him (7:1)

Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand (7:2)

His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest (7:3)

For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world (7:4)

For neither did his brethren believe in him (7:5)

Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready (7:6)

The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil (7:7)

Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come (7:8)

When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee (7:9)

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret (7:10)

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he? (7:11)

And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people (7:12)

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews (7:13)

Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught (7:14)

And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? (7:15)

Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. (7:16) 82 com1

If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself. (7:17) 99 82 com2

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. (7:18) 82

Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me? (7:19)

The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee? (7:20)

Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel (7:21)

Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man (7:22)

If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day? (7:23)

Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment (7:24)

Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill? (7:25)

But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? (7:26)

Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is (7:27)

Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not (7:28)

But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me (7:29)

Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come (7:30)

And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done? (7:31)

The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him (7:32)

Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me (7:33)

Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come (7:34)

Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? (7:35)

What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come? (7:36)

In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. (7:37) 98

He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (7:38) 98

(But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.) (7:39) 98

Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet (7:40)

Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? (7:41)

Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? (7:42)

So there was a division among the people because of him. (7:43) com7

And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him (7:44)

Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him? (7:45)

The officers answered, Never man spake like this man (7:46)

Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? (7:47)

Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? (7:48)

But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed (7:49)

Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) (7:50)

Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth? (7:51)

They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet (7:52)

And every man went unto his own house (7:53)
