1    ^noteAfter these things Iesvs vvalked ^note into Galilee, for he vvould not vvalke ^note into Ievvric: because the Ievves sought to kil him.

2   And the festiual day of the Ievves, ^{note note} Scenopégia, vvas at hand.

3   And his brethr&ebar; said to him, Passe from hence, and goe into Ievvrie: that thy Disciples also may see thy vvorkes vvhich thou doest.

4   For no man doeth any thing in secrete, and seeketh him self to be in publike. If thou doe these things, manifest thy self to the vvorld.

5   For neither did his brethren beleeue in him.

6   Iesvs therfore saith to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alvvaies readie.

7   The vvorld can not hate you. but me it hateth: because I giue testimonie of it, that the vvorkes thereof are euil.

8   Goe you vp to this festiual day: ^note I goe not vp to this festiual day: because my time is not yet accomplished.

9   When he had said these things, him self taried in Galilee.

10   But after his brethren vvere gone vp, then he also vvent vp to the festiual day, not openly, but as it vvere in secrete.

11   The Ievves therfore sought him in the festiual day, and said, Vvhere is he?

12   And there vvas much murmuring in the multitude of him. For certaine said, That he is good. And others said, No, but he seduceth the multitudes.

13   Yet no man spake openly of him for feare of the Ievves. &cross4;

14    ^noteAnd vvhen the festiuitie vvas novv halfe done, Iesvs vvent vp into the t&ebar;ple, and taught.

15   And the Ievves marueiled,

saying, Hovv doth this man knovv letters, vvhereas he hath not learned?

16   Iesvs ansvvered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17   If any man ^note vvil doe the vvil of him, he shal vnderstand of the doctrine vvhether it be of God, or I speake of my self.

18    ^noteHe that speaketh of him self, seeketh his ovvne glorie. But he that seeketh the glorie of him that sent him, he is true, and iniustice in him there is not.

19   Did not Moyses giue you the lavv, and none of you doeth the lavv?

20    ^noteVvhy seeke you to kil me? The multitude ansvvered, and said, ^note Thou hast a deuil, vvho seeketh to kil thee?

21   Iesvs ansvvered, and said to them, One vvorke I haue done: and you doe al marueil.

22   Therfore ^note Moyses gaue you circuncision: not that it is of Moyses, but ^note of the fathers, and in the Sabboth you circuncise a man.

23   If a man receiue circuncision in the Sabboth, that the lavv of Moyses be not broken: are you angrie at me because I haue healed a man vvholy in the Sabboth?

24   Iudge not according to the face, but iudge iust iudgement.

25   Certaine therfore of Hierusalem said, Is not this he vvhom they seeke to kil?

26   And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Haue the Princes knovven in deede that this is Christ?

27   But this man vve knovv vvh&ebar;ce he is. But vvhen Christ c&obar;meth, no man knovveth vvhence he is.

28   Iesvs therfore cried in the temple teaching, and saying, Both me you doe knovv, and vvhence I am you knovv. And of my self I am not come, but he is true that sent me, vvhom you knovv not.

29   I knovv him, because I am of him, and he sent me.

30   They sought therfore to apprehend him: and no man laide handes vpon him, because his houre vvas not yet come.

31   But of the multitude many beleeued in him, &cross4; and said, Christ vvhen he c&obar;meth, shal he doe more signes then these vvhich this man doeth?

32   The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things touching him: and the ^note Princes and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him. ^note

33   Iesvs therfore said to them, Yet a litle time I am vvith you: and I goe to him that sent me.

34    ^noteYou seeke me, and shal not finde: and vvhere I am, you can not come.

35   The Ievves therfore said among them selues, Vvhither vvil this man goe, that vve shal. not finde him? Vvil he goe into the dispersion of the G&ebar;tiles, and teach the Gentiles?

36   Vvhat is this saying that he hath said, You shal seeke me, and shal

not finde: And vvhere I am, you can not come.

37   And in the last, the ^note great day of the festiuitie Iesvs stoode, and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drinke.

38   He that beleeueth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shal flovv riuers of liuing vvater. ^note

39   (And this he said ^note of the Spirit that they should receiue vvhich beleeued in him. &cross4; ^note for as yet the Spirit vvas not giuen: because Iesvs vvas not yet glorified.)

40   Of that multitude therfore, vvhen they had heard these wordes of his, some said, This is the Prophet in deede.

41   others said, This is Christ. But certaine said, Vvhy, doth Christ come from Galilee?

42   Doth not the ^note scripture say, that of the seede of Dauid, and from Bethlehem the tovvne vvhere Dauid vvas, Christ doth come?

43   Therfore there arose dissension in the multitude for him.

44   And certaine of them vvould haue appreh&ebar;ded him: but no man laid handes vpon him.

45   The ministers therfore came to the cheefe priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, Vvhy haue you not brought him?

46   The ministers ansvvered, Neuer did there man so speake, as this man.

47   The Pharisees therfore ansvvered them, Vvhy, are you also seduced?

48   Hath any of the Princes beleeued in him, or of the Pharisees?

49   but this multitude that knovveth not the lavv, are accursed.

50   Nicodemus said to them, ^note he ^note that came to him by night, vvho vvas one of them,

51   Doth our lavv iudge a man, vnles it first heare him, and knovv vvhat he doeth?

52   They ansvvered, and said to him, Vvhy, art thou also a Galilean? Search, and see that from Galilee a Prophet riseth not.

53   And euery man returned to his house.
