New Testament in a Year
7 After these things Jesus walked into Galilee, for he would not walk into Judaea, for the Jews sought to slay him.
2 And there was nigh a feast day of the Jews, [a feast of] Tabernacles.
3 And his brethren said to him, Pass from hence [Pass hence], and go into Judaea, that also thy disciples see thy works that thou doest;
4 for no man doeth any thing in huddles, and himself seeketh to be open[a]. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For neither his brethren believed in him.
6 Therefore Jesus saith to them, My time came not yet, but your time is evermore ready.
7 The world may not hate you, soothly it hateth me; for I bear witnessing thereof, that the works of it be evil.
8 Go ye up to this feast day, but I shall not go up to this feast day, for my time is not yet fulfilled [full-filled].
9 When he had said these things, he dwelt in Galilee.
10 And after that his brethren were gone up, then [and] he went up to the feast day, not openly, but as in private.
11 Therefore the Jews sought him in the feast day, and said, Where is he?
12 And much grumbling [And much grutching] was of him among the people. For some said, That he is good; and others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the people;
13 nevertheless no man spake openly of him, for dread of the Jews.
14 But when the middle feast day came, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews wondered, and said [saying], How knoweth this man letters, since he hath not learned?
16 Jesus answered to them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is soothfast, and unrightwiseness is not in him.
19 Whether Moses gave not to you a law, and none of you doeth the law [and no man of you keepeth the law]? What seek ye to slay me?
20 And the people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to slay thee?
21 Jesus answered, and said to them, I have done one work, and all ye wonder.
22 Therefore Moses gave to you circumcision; not for it is of Moses, but of the fathers; and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man.
23 If a man take circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, have ye indignation to me, for I made all a man whole in the sabbath [have ye indignation, or wrath, to me, for I made all the man whole in the sabbath]?
24 Do not ye deem after the face, but deem ye a rightful doom [but deem a rightful doom].
25 Therefore some of Jerusalem said, Whether this is not he, whom the Jews seek to slay?
26 and lo! he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Whether the princes know verily, that this is Christ?
27 But we know this man, of whence he is; but when Christ shall come, no man knoweth of whence he is.
