works which thou doest. (4)For no man doeth any thing
in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these
things, exhibit thyself to the world. (5)For even his own brethren did
not believe on him. (6)Jesus therefore saith to them, My proper time is
not yet come: but your time is always ready. (7)The world cannot hate
you, but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its deeds are
evil. (8)Go ye up to this feast: for I am not yet going up to this
feast, because my fixed time is not yet arrived. (9)Thus speaking to
them then, he continued in Galilee. (10)But as soon as his disciples
were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public,
but as in concealment.
(11)The Jews then sought for him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
(12)And there was a great murmur concerning him among the multitude:
some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth

ye seek to kill me? (20)The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a
devil: who is seeking to kill thee? (21)Jesus answered and said unto
them, I have performed one work, and ye all marvel. (22)Because Moses
ordered you circumcision; (not that it comes from Moses, but from our
ancestors;) so ye circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. (23)If a man
receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should
not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man
whole on the sabbath-day? (24)Judge not by appearance, but judge
righteous judgment. (25)Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is
not this the man whom they are seeking to kill? (26)And, lo! he
