John 7
1 After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.
Καὶ ⸂μετὰ ταῦτα περιεπάτει ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ, οὐ γὰρ ἤθελεν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ περιπατεῖν, ὅτι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι.
2 But the feast of the Jews, the feast of tents, was near.
ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἡ σκηνοπηγία.
3 So his brothers said to him, Go away from here into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works which you do.
εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ· Μετάβηθι ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, ἵνα καὶ οἱ μαθηταί σου ⸀θεωρήσουσιν⸂σοῦ τὰ ἔργα ἃ ποιεῖς·
4 Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.
οὐδεὶς γάρ ⸂τι ἐν κρυπτῷ ποιεῖ καὶ ζητεῖ αὐτὸς ἐν παρρησίᾳ εἶναι· εἰ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, φανέρωσον σεαυτὸν τῷ κόσμῳ.
5 For even his brothers had no belief in him.
οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν.
6 Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.
λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμὸς οὔπω πάρεστιν, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὁ ὑμέτερος πάντοτέ ἐστιν ἕτοιμος.
7 It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.
οὐ δύναται ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς, ἐμὲ δὲ μισεῖ, ὅτι ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστιν.
8 Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.
ὑμεῖς ἀνάβητε εἰς τὴν ⸀ἑορτήν ἐγὼ ⸀οὐκἀναβαίνω εἰς τὴν ἑορτὴν ταύτην, ὅτι ὁ ⸂ἐμὸς καιρὸς οὔπω πεπλήρωται.
9 Having said these things to them, he still kept in Galilee.
ταῦτα ⸀δὲεἰπὼν ⸀αὐτὸςἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.
10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.
Ὡς δὲ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ⸂εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, τότε καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνέβη⸃, οὐ φανερῶς ἀλλὰ ὡς ἐν κρυπτῷ.
11 At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, Where is he?
οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ καὶ ἔλεγον· Ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος;
12 And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.
καὶ γογγυσμὸς ⸂περὶ αὐτοῦ ἦν πολὺς ἐν τοῖς ὄχλοις· οἱ μὲν ἔλεγον ὅτι Ἀγαθός ἐστιν, ἄλλοι ⸀δὲἔλεγον· Οὔ, ἀλλὰ πλανᾷ τὸν ὄχλον.
13 But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.
οὐδεὶς μέντοι παρρησίᾳ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
14 Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.
Ἤδη δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς μεσούσης ⸀ἀνέβηἸησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκεν.
15 Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.
⸂ἐθαύμαζον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες· Πῶς οὗτος γράμματα οἶδεν μὴ μεμαθηκώς;
16 Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.
ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτοῖς ⸀ὁἸησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· Ἡ ἐμὴ διδαχὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμὴ ἀλλὰ τοῦ πέμψαντός με·
17 If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from — from God or from myself.
ἐάν τις θέλῃ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν, γνώσεται περὶ τῆς διδαχῆς πότερον ἐκ τοῦ θεοῦ ἐστιν ἢ ἐγὼ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ λαλῶ.
18 The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him — that man is true and there is no evil in him.
ὁ ἀφʼ ἑαυτοῦ λαλῶν τὴν δόξαν τὴν ἰδίαν ζητεῖ· ὁ δὲ ζητῶν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτὸν οὗτος ἀληθής ἐστιν καὶ ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?
Οὐ Μωϋσῆς ⸀δέδωκενὑμῖν τὸν νόμον; καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ποιεῖ τὸν νόμον. τί με ζητεῖτε ἀποκτεῖναι;
20 The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?
ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ⸀ὄχλος Δαιμόνιον ἔχεις· τίς σε ζητεῖ ἀποκτεῖναι;
21 This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.
ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἓν ἔργον ἐποίησα καὶ πάντες θαυμάζετε.
22 Moses gave you circumcision — not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers — and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.
διὰ τοῦτο Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὴν περιτομήν— οὐχ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐστὶν ἀλλʼ ἐκ τῶν πατέρων— καὶ ἐν σαββάτῳ περιτέμνετε ἄνθρωπον.
23 If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
εἰ περιτομὴν ⸀λαμβάνειἄνθρωπος ἐν σαββάτῳ ἵνα μὴ λυθῇ ὁ νόμος Μωϋσέως, ἐμοὶ χολᾶτε ὅτι ὅλον ἄνθρωπον ὑγιῆ ἐποίησα ἐν σαββάτῳ;
24 Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.
μὴ κρίνετεκατʼ ὄψιν, ἀλλὰ τὴν δικαίαν κρίσιν ⸀κρίνετε.
25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?
Ἔλεγον οὖν τινες ἐκ τῶν Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν· Οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὃν ζητοῦσιν ἀποκτεῖναι;
26 And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?
καὶ ἴδε παρρησίᾳ λαλεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῷ λέγουσιν· μήποτε ἀληθῶς ἔγνωσαν οἱ ἄρχοντες ὅτι οὗτός ⸀ἐστινὁ χριστός;
27 However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.
ἀλλὰ τοῦτον οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ χριστὸς ὅταν ἔρχηται οὐδεὶς γινώσκει πόθεν ἐστίν.
28 Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.
ἔκραξεν οὖν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ λέγων· Κἀμὲ οἴδατε καὶ οἴδατε πόθεν εἰμί· καὶ ἀπʼ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλʼ ἔστιν ἀληθινὸς ὁ πέμψας με, ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε·
29 I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.
ἐγὼ οἶδα αὐτόν, ὅτι παρʼ αὐτοῦ εἰμι κἀκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.
30 Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.
ἐζήτουν οὖν αὐτὸν πιάσαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπέβαλεν ἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὴν χεῖρα, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
31 And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?
⸂ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου δὲ πολλοὶ ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτόν, καὶ ⸀ἔλεγον Ὁ χριστὸς ὅταν ἔλθῃ ⸀μὴπλείονα ⸀σημεῖαποιήσει ὧν οὗτος ἐποίησεν;
32 This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.
Ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τοῦ ὄχλου γογγύζοντος περὶ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ⸂οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ οἱ Φαρισαῖοι ὑπηρέτας ἵνα πιάσωσιν αὐτόν.
33 Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.
εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ἔτι ⸂χρόνον μικρὸν μεθʼ ὑμῶν εἰμι καὶ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πέμψαντά με.
34 You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.
ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ ⸀εὑρήσετε καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.
35 So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?
εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς ἑαυτούς· Ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν; μὴ εἰς τὴν διασπορὰν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καὶ διδάσκειν τοὺς Ἕλληνας;
36 What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?
τίς ἐστιν ⸂ὁ λόγος οὗτος ὃν εἶπε· Ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ ⸀εὑρήσετε καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγὼ ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;
37 On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.
Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ τῆς ἑορτῆς εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ ἔκραξεν λέγων· Ἐάν τις διψᾷ ἐρχέσθω πρός με καὶ πινέτω.
38 He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.
ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, καθὼς εἶπεν ἡ γραφή, ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος.
39 This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.
τοῦτο δὲ εἶπεν περὶ τοῦ πνεύματος ⸀οὗἔμελλον λαμβάνειν οἱ ⸀πιστεύσαντεςεἰς αὐτόν· οὔπω γὰρ ἦν ⸀πνεῦμα ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ⸀οὐδέπωἐδοξάσθη.
40 When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.
⸂Ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου οὖν ἀκούσαντες ⸂τῶν λόγων τούτων ⸀ἔλεγον Οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης·
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?
ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· Οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ χριστός· ⸂οἱ δὲ ἔλεγον· Μὴ γὰρ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὁ χριστὸς ἔρχεται;
42 Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?
⸀οὐχἡ γραφὴ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Δαυίδ, καὶ ἀπὸ Βηθλέεμ τῆς κώμης ὅπου ἦν Δαυίδ, ⸂ἔρχεται ὁ χριστός;
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
σχίσμα οὖν ⸂ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ διʼ αὐτόν.
44 And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.
τινὲς δὲ ἤθελον ἐξ αὐτῶν πιάσαι αὐτόν, ἀλλʼ οὐδεὶς ⸀ἐπέβαλενἐπʼ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας.
45 Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?
Ἦλθον οὖν οἱ ὑπηρέται πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους, καὶ εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι· Διὰ τί οὐκ ἠγάγετε αὐτόν;
46 The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.
ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ὑπηρέται· Οὐδέποτε ⸂ἐλάλησεν οὕτως ⸀ἄνθρωπος
47 Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?
ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν αὐτοῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· Μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε;
48 Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?
μή τις ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσεν εἰς αὐτὸν ἢ ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων;
49 But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.
ἀλλὰ ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὸν νόμον ⸀ἐπάρατοίεἰσιν.
50 Nicodemus — he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them — said to them,
λέγει Νικόδημος πρὸς αὐτούς, ὁ ⸀ἐλθὼνπρὸς αὐτὸν ⸀πρότερον εἷς ὢν ἐξ αὐτῶν·
51 Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?
Μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ ⸂πρῶτον παρʼ αὐτοῦ καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ;
52 This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.
ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῷ· Μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ; ἐραύνησον καὶ ἴδε ὅτι ⸂ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας προφήτης οὐκ ⸀ἐγείρεται
53 [And every man went to his house;
⟦καὶ ἐπορεύθη ἕκαστος εἰς τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ·
