< 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 in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart behind, and go into Judaea, that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
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:
For there is no man that does any thing in secret, and he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.
5 for neither did his brethren believe on him.
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: 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 cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
Go all of you up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still 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.
But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, 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 among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceives the people.
13 However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of [their] fear of the Jews.
Nevertheless no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man] letters, having never learned?
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his 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 man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of 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 speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is 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 yet none of you keeps the law? Why go all of you about to kill me?
20 The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and all of you all marvel.
22 Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and all of you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
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 on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are all of you angry at me, because I have made a man everything whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek 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?
But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very 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.
Nevertheless we know this man whence he is: but when Christ comes, no man 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 cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, All of you both know me, and all of you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom all of you know not.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he has sent me.
But I know him: for I am from him, and he has 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 sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was 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 of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than these which this man has done?
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.
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him that has sent me.
Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I am ye cannot come.
All of you shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither all of you cannot 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 said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
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 manner of saying (logos) is this that he said, All of you shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither all of you cannot 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.
In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly 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.
(But this spoke he of the Spirit, (pneuma) which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Spirit (pneuma) was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 [Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, (logos) said, Truthfully this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee?
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall 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?
Has not the scripture said, That Christ comes of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.
So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon him.
And some of them would have taken him; but no man 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?
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have all of you not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man [speaks].
The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are all of you also deceived?
48 Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.
But this people who knows not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),
Nicodemus says unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
51 Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?
Does our law judge any man, before it hear 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 answered and said unto him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 And every one went to his home.
And every man went unto his own house.
