< John 7 >
1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
After these things Jesus walked about in Galilee: for He was not willing to walk about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
2 Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
And the feast of the Jews, tabernacles, was nigh.
3 His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;
Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.
4 for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:
If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 for neither did his brethren believe on him.
For His brothers were not believing on Him.
6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Jesus says to them, My time is not yet; but your time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.
The world is not able to hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil.
8 Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
You go up to the feast: I do not go to this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.
Saying these things He remained in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.
And when His brothers went up to the feast, then Himself also went up, not openly, but in secret.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
Then the Jews were seeking Him at the feast, and saying, Where is He?
12 And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is [a] good [man]; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.
And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning Him: some indeed were saying, That He is good; others were saying, No, but He deceives the multitude.
13 However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of [their] fear of the Jews.
No one indeed was speaking openly concerning Him on account of the fear of the Jews.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
But the feast already being midway, Jesus came up into the temple, and was teaching.
15 The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man] letters, having never learned?
Then the Jews marveled, saying; How does this one know letters, never having been taught?
16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.
Then Jesus responded to them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but of Him that sent me;
17 If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or [that] I speak from myself.
if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself.
18 He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me?
20 The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
And the multitude responded, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.
Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished.
22 Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23 If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath?
24 Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Then certain ones of Jerusalemites were saying, Is not this He whom they wished to kill?
26 and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?
And behold He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Whether do the rulers truly know that He is the Christ?
27 But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
But we know Him whence He is: but when Christ may come, no one knows whence He is.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye do not know.
Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You indeed know me, and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but the one sending me is true, whom you do not know.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me.
I know Him, because I am with Him, and He sent me.
30 They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
Then they were seeking to arrest Him: and no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this [man] has done?
And many from the multitude believed on Him; and continued to say, When Christ may come, will He do more miracles than this one is doing?
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.

Then Jesus said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to Him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I am ye cannot come.
You will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come.
35 The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
Then the Jews said to themselves, Where is He about to go, that we shall not find Him? is He about to go into the Dispersion of the Greek, and teach the Greeks?
36 What word is this which he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me]; and where I am ye cannot come?
What is this word which He said, You shall seek me, and not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come?
37 In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.
And on the last great day of the feast, Jesus stood and continued to cry out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come and drink.
38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
The one believing on me, as the Scripture said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.
39 But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
And He spoke this concerning the Spirit, whom those believing on Him were about to receive: for the Spirit was not yet; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 [Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.
Then those hearing these words from the multitude, were saying, This is truly the prophet;
41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee?
others were saying, He is the Christ; others were saying, For whether does Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?

43 There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.
Then there was a schism in the crowd on account of Him:
44 But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon him.
and some of them wished to arrest Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?

The officers responded, Never did a man so speak, as this man speaks.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
And the Pharisees responded to them; Are ye also deceived?

Nicodemus being one of them, says to them;
51 Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?
Whether does our law judge a man, until it may first hear from him and know what he does?
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
They responded and said to him, Whither art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet rises out of Galilee.
53 And every one went to his home.
