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 resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill Him.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles 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, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.
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 doth any thing in secret, who is himself desirous to be known in public. As thou dost these wonderful things, make thyself known 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 saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you:
7 the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds 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 as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while 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, then He also went up to the feast, not in a public manner but as it were in private.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
The Jews therefore sought for 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, No: He deceiveth the people.
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
No one however spake openly in favor 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 about 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?”
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach 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 desire to do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of 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 is true, and there is no imposture 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 observeth the law? wherefore else do ye seek to kill me?
20 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by 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 performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it.
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;
Now Moses gave you the law of circumcision, (not that it is originally from Moses, but from the patriarchs, ) and ye circumcise even on the 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 then a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry with me, because I made a man perfectly well on the sabbath-day?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
26 And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?
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 whence this man is; whereas when 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 out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, ye say, and ye know whence I am: now 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,
They sought therefore to seize Him, but no one laid 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?”
And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than 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;
Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
Therefore Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I am to be among you, and then I shall 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 to be, 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, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go to them that are 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 is the meaning of this speech, that He said, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, 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;
And on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any one 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, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
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.
(This He spake 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 discourse, said, This is in truth a prophet.
41 others said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah 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 of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence David was.
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
So there was a division among the people about Him.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
And some among them would have seized Him: but no one 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, Why have ye not brought Him? and the officers answered,
46 The officers answered, “Never so spoke man—as this Man.”
Never man spake like this man.
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?
have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
51 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?
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 replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: 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.
