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,
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 Jews’ 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 to him, Depart from here, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that 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 there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Then Jesus said 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 hateth, because I testify 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”;
Go ye up to this feast: I go not up yet to this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
When he had said these words to 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 had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
Then the Jews 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 people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
Yet no man spoke 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,
Now about 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?”
And the Jews 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 answered them, and said, My doctrine 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 will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from 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 his glory 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 keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth about 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 marvel.
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 therefore gave to you circumcision; ( not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath 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 on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, 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?
But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very 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 we know this man where he is from: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth where he is from.
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;
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know where I am from: 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.”
But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath 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,
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands 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?”
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?
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 that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests 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;
Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to 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, there 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?
Then said the Jews among themselves, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
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 manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there 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 day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, 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 believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his heart 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 spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy 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”;
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is 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, Shall 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 Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
So there was a division among the people 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?”
Then came the officers 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 like this man.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
But this people who know not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, 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 any man, before it heareth him, and knoweth 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 to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: for 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 every man went to his own house.
