John 7:1-17 ▼

1 After that Iesus wet about in Galile and wolde not go about in Iewry for the Iewes sought to kill him.

2 The Iewes tabernacle feast was at honde.

3 His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: get ye hence and go into Iewry yt thy disciples maye se thy workes yt thou doest.

4 For ther is no man yt doeth eny thing secretly and he him selfe seketh to be knowen. Yf thou do soche thinges shewe thy selfe to the worlde.

5 For as yet his brethre beleved not in him.

6 Then Iesus sayd vnto them: My tyme is not yet come youre tyme is all waye redy.

7 The worlde canot hate you. Me it hateth: because I testify of it that the workes of it are evyll.

8 Go ye vp vnto this feast. I will not go vp yet vnto this feast for my tyme is not yet full come.

9 These wordes he sayde vnto them and abode still in Galile.

10 But assone as his brethren were goone vp then went he also vp vnto the feast: not openly but as it were prevely.

11 Then sought him the Iewes at ye feast and sayde: Where is he?

12 And moche murmurynge was ther of him amonge the people. Some sayde: He is good. Wother sayde naye but he deceaveth the people.

13 How be it no ma spake openly of him for feare of the Iewes

14 In ye middes of the feast Iesus went vp into the temple and taught.

15 And the Iewes marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he ye scriptures seynge yt he never learned?

16 Iesus answered them and sayde: My doctrine is not myne: but his that sent me.

17 If eny man will do his will he shall knowe of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speake of my selfe.
