e things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not
walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill Him. Now the feast of
the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand. His brethren
therefore said unto Him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that Thy
disciples also may behold Thy works which Thou doest. For no man
doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If
Thou doest these things, manifest Thyself to the world. For even His
brethren did not believe on Him. Jesus therefore saith unto them, My
time is not yet come; but your time is alway ready. The world cannot
hate you; but Me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works
are evil. Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up yet unto this feast;
because My time is not yet fulfilled. And having said these things
unto them, He abode still in Galilee. But when His brethren were
gone up unto the feast, then went He also up, not publicly, but as
it were in secret. The Jews therefore sought Him at the feast, and
said, Where is He? And there was much murmuring among the multitudes
concerning Him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so,
but He leadeth the multitude astray. Howbeit no man spoke openly of
Him for fear of the Jews. But when it was now the midst of the feast
Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. The Jews therefore
marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never
learned? Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not
Mine but His that sent Me. If any man willeth to do His will he
shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or whether I speak
from Myself. He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory:
but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is
true, and no unrighteousness is in him. Did not Moses give you the
law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill Me? The
multitude answered, Thou hast a devil: who seeketh to kill Thee?
Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all
marvel. For this cause hath Moses given you circumcision (not that
it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the Sabbath ye
circumcise a man. If a man receiveth circumcision on the Sabbath,
that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with Me,
because I made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath? Judge not
according to appearanc
