B. In the Middle of the Feast of Tabernacles................... 7:14-36 Joh 7:14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.Joh 7:15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?Joh 7:16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.Joh 7:17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.Joh 7:18 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.Joh 7:19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?Joh 7:20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?Joh 7:21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.Joh 7:22 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.Joh 7:23 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?Joh 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.Joh 7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?Joh 7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?Joh 7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.Joh 7:28 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.Joh 7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.Joh 7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.Joh 7:31 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?Joh 7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.Joh 7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.Joh 7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.Joh 7:35 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?Joh 7:36 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? |
