John 7
1 After this, Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he would not reside in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2 Now, the Jewish feast of tabernacles was near.

3 His brothers, therefore, said to him, Leave this country, and go to Judea, that your disciples may also see the works which you do.

10 But when his brothers were gone, he also went to the festival; not publicly, but rather privately.

11 At the festival, the Jews inquired after him, and said, Where is he?

12 And there was much whispering among the people concerning him. Some said, He is a good man. Others, No; he seduces the multitude.

13 No person, however, spoke freely of him, for fear of the Jews.

14 About the middle of the festival, Jesus went into the temple, and was teaching.

15 And the Jews said with astonishment, Whence comes this man's learning, who was never taught?

18 Whosoever teaches what proceeds from himself, seeks to promote his own glory: whosoever seeks to promote the glory of him who sent him, deserves credit, and is a stranger to deceit.

19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?

20 The people answered, You are possessed. Who seeks to kill you.

22 Moses instituted circumcision among you, (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs, ) and you circumcise on the Sabbath.

23 If, on the Sabbath, a man receive circumcision, that the law of Moses may not be violated; are you incensed against me, because, on the Sabbath, I have cured a man, whose whole body was disabled?

26 Lo! he speaks boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers, indeed, acknowledge that this is the Messiah?

27 But we know whence this man is; whereas, when the Messiah shall come, no person will know whence he is.

28 Jesus, who was then teaching in the temple, cried, Do you know both who, and whence I am? I came not of myself. But he is true, who sent me, whom you know not.

32 When the Pharisees heard that the people muttered such things concerning him, they and the chief priests dispatched officers to seize him.

39 This he spoke of the Spirit, which they who believed on him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
