< John 7 >

1 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him,
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judæa, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
3 His brothers, therefore, said to Him, “Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do;
His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may behold thy works which thou doest.
4 for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself to the world”;
For no man doeth anything in secret, and himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
For even his brethren did not believe on him.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Jesus therefore saith unto them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
7 the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
8 You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
Go ye up unto the feast: I go not up unto this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
And having said these things unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.
10 And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring about Him among the multitudes, some indeed said, “He is good”; and others said, “No, but He leads the multitude astray”;
And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 if anyone may will to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—[if] I speak from Myself.
If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or [whether] I speak from myself.
18 He who is speaking from himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek to kill Me?”
Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?
20 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof.
22 because of this, Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man;
Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.
23 if a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me that I made a man all whole on a Sabbath?
If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?
27 But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, “You have both known Me, and you have known from where I am; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you have not known;
Jesus therefore cried in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
I know him; because I am from him, and he sent me.
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come,
They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 and many out of the multitude believed in Him and said, “The Christ—when He may come—will He do more signs than these that this One did?”
But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take Him;
The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.
33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me.
34 you will seek Me, and you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, “To where is this One about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go that we shall not find him? will he go unto the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What is this word that He said, You will seek Me, and you will not find? And, Where I am, you are not able to come?”
What is this word that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
37 And in the last, the great day of the celebration, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink;
Now on the last day, the great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink.
38 he who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, from within him shall flow rivers of living water.
39 and this He said of the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed on him were to receive: for the Spirit was not yet [given]; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Many, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly the Prophet”;
[Some] of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is of a truth the prophet.
41 others said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Did the Writing not say that out of the seed of David, and from Beth-Lehem—the village where David was—the Christ comes?”
Hath not the scripture said that the Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 the officers came, therefore, to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why did ye not bring him?
46 The officers answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
The officers answered, Never man so spake.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),
51 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear from himself and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet has not risen out of Galilee”; [[
They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
[And they went every man unto his own house:
