John 7
1 AND Jesus after these things travelled about in Galilee: for he would not go about in Judea, 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 And a feast of the Jews was nigh, the feast of tabernacles.
Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 Then said his disciples to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, 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 man doeth any thing in secret, yet seeketh himself to appear publicly: if thou doest these things, exhibit 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 even his own brethren did not believe on him.
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Jesus therefore saith to them, My proper 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 hateth, because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hates, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up to this feast: for I am not yet going up to this feast, because my fixed time is not yet arrived.
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 Thus speaking to them then, he continued in Galilee.
When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But as soon as his disciples were gone up, then went he also himself up to the feast: not in public, but as in concealment.
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 then sought for 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 a great murmur concerning him among the multitude: some said, Surely he is a good man: others said, No; he only deceiveth the people.
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 Yet no person spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Nevertheless no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 But now at 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 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man the scriptures, not being a scholar?
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know respecting the doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether 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 speaketh from himself, seeks his own individual honour: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and iniquity in him there is none.
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 Hath not Moses given you the law, yet none 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 multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who is seeking to kill thee?
The people answered and said, You have a devil: who goes about to kill you?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have performed one work, and ye all marvel.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and all of you all marvel.
22 Because Moses ordered you circumcision; (not that it comes from Moses, but from our ancestors; ) so ye circumcise a man on the sabbath-day.
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 receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man whole on the sabbath-day?
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 by appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill?
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 And, lo! he speaketh openly, and they say not a word to him. Do the rulers certainly know that this man is really the Messiah?
But, lo, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 But we know this man whence he is: but when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Nevertheless we know this man whence he is: but when Christ comes, no man knows whence he is.
28 Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
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 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
But I know him: for I am from him, and he has sent me.
30 Then they sought to apprehend him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was 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 multitude believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater miracles than those which this man doth?
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 people muttering these things respecting him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent officers to apprehend 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 Then said Jesus unto them, A little while longer I am with you, and I am going to him that 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 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Grecians, 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 is this saying which he hath spoken, 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 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and spake aloud, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto 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 believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from his belly shall rivers flow of living water.
He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (Now he spake this in reference to the Spirit, which they who believe on him should afterwards receive: for as yet the Holy Ghost was not given; because Jesus was not yet 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 Many then of the multitude, when they heard this declaration, said, This man is certainly a prophet.
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, (logos) said, Truthfully this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, He is the Messiah. But others said, No: for cometh the Messiah out of Galilee?
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Doth not the scripture say, That the Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from the town of Bethlehem, whence David originally 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 among the multitude on account of him.
So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 Now some of them were desirous to apprehend him; but no one laid hands upon him.
And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisee; 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 did man before speak in such a manner as this man.
The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
47 The Pharisees then replied to them, Are ye also deluded?
Then answered them the Pharisees, Are all of you also deceived?
48 Hath any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this rabble, which knoweth not the law, is accursed.
But this people who knows not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (the same person who came to him by night, being one of their body, )
Nicodemus says unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
51 Doth our law condemn a man, without first hearing his defence, and knowing what he hath done?
Does our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he does?
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou not from Galilee too? Search and see: for a prophet, out of Galilee, never was raised up.
They answered and said unto him, Are you also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 So each went to his own home.
And every man went unto his own house.
