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)

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

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)

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)

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

(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)

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)

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
