John 7
Big screen- 1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
- 2Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
- 3His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart behind, and go into Judaea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
- 4For there is no man that does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
- 5For neither did his brethren believe in him.
- 6Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.
- 7The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
- 8Go all of you up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
- 9When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
- 10But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
- 11Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
- 12And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceives the people.
- 13Nevertheless no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
- 14Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
- 15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?
- 16Jesus answered 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 doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
- 18He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
- 19Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go all of you about to kill me?
- 20The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?
- 21Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and all of you all marvel.
- 22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and all of you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
- 23If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are all of you angry at me, because I have made a man everything whole on the sabbath day?
- 24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
- 25Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
- 26But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
- 27Nevertheless we know this man whence he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows whence he is.
- 28Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, All of you both know me, and all of you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom all of you know not.
- 29But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.
- 30Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
- 31And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
- 32The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
- 33Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
- 34All of you shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither all of you cannot come.
- 35Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
- 36What manner of saying is this that he said, All of you shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither all of you cannot come?
- 37In 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.
- 38He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
- 39(But this spoke he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
- 40Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Truthfully this is the Prophet.
- 41Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
- 42Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
- 43So there was a division among the people because of him.
- 44And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
- 45Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have all of you not brought him?
- 46The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
- 47Then answered them the Pharisees, Are all of you also deceived?
- 48Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
- 49But this people who knows not the law are cursed.
- 50Nicodemus says unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
- 51Does our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he does?
- 52They answered and said unto him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.
- 53And every man went unto his own house.
