John 7:1–18

After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

²Now the Jews feast of tabernacles was at hand.

³And his brethren said to, him: Pass from hence and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.

⁴For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.

⁵For neither did his brethren believe in him.

⁶Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

⁷The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil,

⁸Go you up to this festival day: but I go not up to this festival day, because my time is not accomplished.

⁹When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day and said: Where is he?

¹²And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.

¹³Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁵And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

¹⁶Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

¹⁸He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him.
