John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to slay him.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
And the Jewish feast of tabernacles drew near.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
And the brothers of Jesus said to him: Leave here, and go into Judaea; that thy disciples may see the works thou doest.
4 For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
For there is no one who doeth any thing in secret, while he wisheth to become public. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
For even his brothers did not believe in Jesus.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
Jesus said to them: My time hath 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 the works thereof are evil.
The world cannot hate you, but me it hateth; because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
Go ye up to the feast; I do not go up to this feast now, because my time is not yet completed.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.
These things he said, and remained still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were secretly.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
And the Jews sought for him at the feast; and they said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
And there was much altercation among the people respecting him; for some said, He is a good man; while others said, No, but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
Yet no one spoke openly of him, from fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
And in the midst of the days of the feast, Jesus went into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
And the Jews wondered, and said: How knoweth this man literature, having not been educated?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
Jesus answered and said: My doctrine is not from me, but from him that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
He that wisheth to do his pleasure, will understand my doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from my own pleasure.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
He that speaketh according to the pleasure of his own mind, seeketh glory for himself: but he who seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is veracious, and evil is not in his heart.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
Did not Moses give you the law? Yet no one of you observeth the law.
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Jesus replied, and said to them: I have wrought one work, and ye all wonder.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
Because Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it was from Moses, but it was from the fathers, ) ye circumcise a child on the sabbath.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
And if a child is circumcised on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be violated, do ye murmur at me, because I have made a man entirely sound on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Judge not, with a respect for persons; but judge ye a righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
And some from Jerusalem said: Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
And lo, he discourseth publicly, and they say nothing to him. Do our Elders know, that he really is the Messiah?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
Yet we know this man, whence he is; the Messiah, when he shall come, no one knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, 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 know not.
And Jesus, while teaching in the temple, raised his voice and said: Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am. And I did not come of my own accord; but he that sent me is true. Him ye know not;
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
but I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
And they sought to apprehend him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done?
And many of the multitude believed on him, and said: When the Messiah cometh, will he work greater signs than these which this man doeth?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
And the Pharisees heard the multitude say these things of him: and they and the chief priests sent constables to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.
And Jesus said: A little while longer I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come.
And ye will seek me, and will not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
The Jews said among themselves: Whither is he about to go, that we cannot find him? Will he go to some region of the Gentiles, and teach the profane?
36 What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come?
What means this speech he uttered: Ye will seek me, and will not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
37 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.
And on the great day, which was the last of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, and said: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
Whoever believeth in me, as the scriptures have said, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living waters.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet [given]; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
(This he said of the Spirit, which they who believe in him were to receive: for the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
And many of the multitude who heard his discourses, said: Certainly, he is a prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
Others said: He is the Messiah. Others said: Doth Messiah come from Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
Doth not the scriptures say, That Messiah cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town of David?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
And there was a division among the multitude respecting him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
And there were some of them who wished to apprehend him. But no one laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
And the constables came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and the priests said to them: Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
The constables say to them: Never did a man speak, as this man speaketh.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
The Pharisees said to them: Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
Have any of the chiefs, or of the Pharisees, believed in him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
But this people, who know not the law, are accursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
One of them: Nicodemus, he who came to Jesus by night, said to them:
51 Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
Doth our law condemn a man, unless it first hear him, and know what he hath done?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
They answered, and said to him: Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see, that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
So they went every one to his own house.
