John 7
1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him,
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was near.
and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judea so that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou do.
His brothers, therefore, said to Him, “Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do;
4 For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.
for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself to the world”;
5 For not even his brothers believed in him.
for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.
Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
8 Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.
You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
9 And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.
And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray.
And there was much murmuring about Him among the multitudes, some indeed said, “He is good”; and others said, “No, but He leads the multitude astray”;
13 Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.
no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
14 And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned?
and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me.
Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
17 If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself.
if anyone may will to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—[if] I speak from Myself.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, this man is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
He who is speaking from himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?
The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.
Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a sabbath.
because of this, Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man;
23 If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a sabbath?
if a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me that I made a man all whole on a Sabbath?
24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
25 Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
26 And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?
And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
27 However we know this man, where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no man knows where he is from.
But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, “You have both known Me, and you have known from where I am; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you have not known;
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.
and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come,
31 But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?
and many out of the multitude believed in Him and said, “The Christ—when He may come—will He do more signs than these that this One did?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him.
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take Him;
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.
Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
34 Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.
you will seek Me, and you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, “To where is this One about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
36 What is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and, Where I am, ye cannot come?
What is this word that He said, You will seek Me, and you will not find? And, Where I am, you are not able to come?”
37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
And in the last, the great day of the celebration, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink;
38 He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.
he who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
39 But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
and this He said of the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet.
Many, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly the Prophet”;
41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee?
others said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
Did the Writing not say that out of the seed of David, and from Beth-Lehem—the village where David was—the Christ comes?”
43 So there became a division among the multitude because of him.
A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
44 And some of them wanted to take him, but no man laid hands on him.
And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
45 The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
the officers came, therefore, to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
46 The subordinates answered, A man never so spoke like this man.
The officers answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray?
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
49 But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.
But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them),
Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
51 Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does?
“Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
52 They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.
They answered and said to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet has not risen out of Galilee”; [[
53 And each man went to his house.
and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
