John 7
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jewish leaders sought 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 Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
Now the Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;
3 So his brothers said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works that you are doing.
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 when he himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show 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 even his brothers did not believe in him.
For neither did his brethren believe in Him.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, 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 cannot hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about 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 the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet 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 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were 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 Jewish leaders therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"
The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
12 There was much murmuring among the crowds concerning him. Some said, "He is a good man." But others said, "Not so, but he leads the crowd 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 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jewish leaders.
No one however spake openly in favor of Him, for fear of the Jews.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
But when it was now about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 Then the Jewish leaders were astonished, saying, "How does this man know such writings, having never been educated?"
And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
16 Jesus therefore answered them, "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 desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking 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 speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is 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 Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you keeps 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 crowd answered, "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 them, "I did one work, and you are all amazed.
Jesus answered and said unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
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 boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the 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 judge righteous judgment."
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, "Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
26 Look, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed 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 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."
But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
28 Jesus therefore called out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
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 I know 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 sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a 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 But many in the crowd believed in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?"
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 crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
33 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer, then I go 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, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot come."
Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
35 The Jewish leaders therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks, and 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, but won't find; and where I am, you cannot 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 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, "If anyone is thirsty, 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 believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, 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 Some of the crowd therefore, when they heard these words, 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." But some said, "What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of Galilee?
42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"
Hath not the Scripture said, that Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence David was.
43 So there arose a division in the crowd because of him.
So there was a division among the people about Him.
44 Some of them would have arrested 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 therefore came 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, "No man ever spoke like this man."
Never man spake like this man.
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You are not also led astray, are you?
The pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
49 But this crowd that does not know the Law is accursed."
but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him before, being one of them) said to them,
Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
51 "Does our Law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows 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 him, "Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet comes from Galilee."
They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 Then everyone went to his own house,
And every man went to his own house.
