< John 7 >

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܒܝܗܘܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
ܘܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܡܛܠܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ
3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou art doing.
ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܫܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܟܐ ܘܙܠ ܠܝܗܘܕ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ
4 For no one doeth anything in secret, and yet himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world.
ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܓܠܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܚܘܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܠܥܠܡܐ
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
ܐܦ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܒܝܫܘܥ
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܒܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܛܐ ܙܒܢܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܡܛܝܒ
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܥܠܡܐ ܠܡܤܢܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܤܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
ܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܩܘ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܤܠܩ ܐܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܫܠܡ
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܘܦܫ ܠܗ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܤܠܩܘ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܤܠܩ ܠܐ ܒܓܠܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܛܘܫܝܐ
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟܘ ܗܘ
12 And there was much debating among the multitude concerning him. Some said, He is a good man; others said, Nay, but he deceiveth the multitude.
ܘܪܛܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܛܒ ܗܘ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܥܐ ܠܥܡܐ
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܓܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܥܕܥܕܐ ܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܢܐ ܤܦܪܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܠܦ
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
17 If any one is desirous to do his will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from myself.
ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܡܤܬܟܠ ܝܘܠܦܢܝ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ
18 He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and in him is no unrighteousness.
ܡܢ ܕܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܗ ܡܡܠܠ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܒܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܗ ܒܥܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܥܘܠܐ ܒܠܒܗ ܠܐ ܐܝܬ
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܛܪ ܢܡܘܤܐ
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܩܛܠܢܝ ܥܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܡܢܘ ܒܥܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܟ
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܒܕܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܘܟܠܟܘܢ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܗ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܒܗܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܓܙܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ
23 If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye angry at me, because I have restored soundness to the whole body of a man on the sabbath?
ܐܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܬܓܙܪ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܬܪܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܥܠܝ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠܗ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܚܠܡܬ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܒܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܕܘܢܘ
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܘ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܩܛܠ
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
ܘܗܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܠܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܩܫܝܫܝܢ ܕܗܢܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
ܐܠܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ
28 Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.
ܘܐܪܝܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܗ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܘܠܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܢܐ ܘܗܘ ܫܕܪܢܝ
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
ܘܒܥܘ ܠܡܐܚܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܪܡܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܬ ܗܘܬ ܫܥܬܗ
31 But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?
ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܡܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܢܐ ܥܒܕ
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
ܘܫܡܥܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܚܫܐ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܝܠ ܬܘܒ ܙܒܢܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
ܘܬܒܥܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚܘܢܢܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܢܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܕܚܢܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܟܝ ܠܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܘܢܠܦ ܠܚܢܦܐ
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܬܒܥܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚܘܢܢܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ
37 On the last day, which is the great day, of the feast, Jesus stood and cried aloud, saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܕܥܕܥܕܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܨܗܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܢܫܬܐ
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܘ ܟܬܒܐ ܢܗܪܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܚܝܐ ܢܪܕܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܪܤܗ
39 But this he said of the Spirit, which those that believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܒܠܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܗܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
ܘܗܘܬ ܗܘܬ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܪܡܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
ܘܐܬܘ ܕܚܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܗܢܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܠܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܛܥܝܬܘܢ
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܝܛܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܝܩܕܡܘܤ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܠܝܐ
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
ܕܠܡܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܡܚܝܒ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܢܫܡܥ ܡܢܗ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܢܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܨܝ ܘܚܙܝ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܐ ܩܐܡ
53 (Joh 7:53 - 8:12: This passage is omitted as ungenuine by Tischendorf and most critical editors of the Greek Testament. It is found in some manuscripts, but not in the most ancient. It is, however, very generally regarded as a genuine relic of the teaching of Christ, though not forming a part of the fourth Gospel. I give it in the text of Tregelles, omitting the words which he incloses in brackets. Tregelles, however, does not suppose it to be genuine.) [[And they went each to his house;
