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 Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
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 to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see 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 one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:
5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
for neither did his brethren believe on him.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Jesus therefore says to 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 hates, because I bear witness concerning 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”;
Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Having said these things to them he abode 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 had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as 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 concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is [a] good [man]; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of [their] 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 middle 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 wondered, saying, How knows 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 doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has 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 one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or [that] 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 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.
19 has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek to kill Me?”
Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.
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;
Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
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 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?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
Some therefore of those 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 behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised 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.”
But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows 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 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.
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 has 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 one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had 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 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?
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 crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might 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 I am with you, and I go to him that has 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 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?
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 word is this which 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;
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.
38 he who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly 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 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.
40 Many, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly the Prophet”;
[Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly 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. Others said, Does then 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?”
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon 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 to them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man [speaks].
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),
51 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?
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 to him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the Mount of Olives.
And every one went to his home.
