you, but me it hates, because I testify of it that its
works are evil. [7:8]Do you go up to the feast; I go not up to this
feast, because my time has not yet fully come. [7:9]Having said these
things he continued in Galilee.
2 [7:10]But when his brothers had gone up, then he also went up to the
feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. [7:11]Then the Jews sought
him at the feast, and said, Where is he? [7:12]And there was much
complaining concerning him among the multitude; some said, He is a good
man; others said, No; but he deceives the people. [7:13]Nevertheless,
no one spoke openly for him from fear of the Jews.
3 [7:14]And in the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and
taught. [7:15]Then the Jews wondered, saying, How does this man know
letters, not having learned? [7:16]Then Jesus answered them and said,
My teaching is not mine but his that sent me. [7:17]If any one will do
his will, he shall know of the teaching whether it is from God or
whether I speak from myself. [7:18]He that speaks from himself seeks
his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that sent him, this
[man] is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. [7:19]Did not Moses
give you the law? and no one of you performs the law. Why do you seek
to kill me? [7:20]The multitude answered, You have a demon; who seeks
to kill you? [7:21]Jesus answered and said to them, I performed one
work and you all wonder. [7:22]Moses gave you circumcision, not that it
is of Moses but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the
sabbath. [7:23]If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath, that the
law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a
man entirely sound on the sabbath? [7:24]Judge not according to the
appearance, but judge a righteous judgment.
4 [7:25]Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem said, Is not this he
whom they seek to kill? [7:26]And behold, he speaks boldly, and they
say nothing to him. Have the rulers at length learned that this is the
Christ? [7:27]But we know this man whence he is; but when the Christ
comes, no one knows whence he is. [7:28]Then Jesus cried, teaching in
the temple and saying, You both know me and know whence I am; and I
have not come of myself; but he that sent me is true, whom you know
not; [7:29]I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.
[7:30]Then they sought to take him by force; but no man laid a hand on
him, for his hour had not yet come.
