John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
And, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee; for he was not wishing, in Judaea, to be walking, because the Jews were seeking to slay him.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was at hand.
But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.
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.
His brethren, therefore, said unto him—Remove hence, and withdraw into Judaea, that, thy disciples also, may view thy works which thou art doing.
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.
For, no one, anything in secret, doeth, and yet is seeking, himself, to be well-known. If, these things, thou art doing, manifest thyself unto the world.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
For, not even his brethren, were believing on him.
6 Jesus saith to them, My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—My season, not yet, is here; but, your season, at anytime, is ready:
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that its works are evil.
The world cannot hate you; but, me, it hateth, because, I, bear witness concerning it, that, the works thereof, are, wicked.
8 Go ye up to the feast; I go not up to this feast; for my time is not yet fully come.
Ye, go up unto the feast: I, not yet, am coming up unto this feast, because, my season, not yet, hath fully come.
9 Having said these things, he remained in Galilee.
And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
But, when his brethren had gone up unto the feast, then, he also, went up, —not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying—Where is that one?
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.
and there was great, murmuring, about him among the multitudes: some, indeed, were saying—Good, is he! [but], others, were saying—Not so! but he is leading the multitude astray.
13 No one, however, spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
16 Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said—My teaching, is not mine, but his who sent me.
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.
If any one intend, his will, to do, he shall get to know concerning the teaching—whether it is, of God, or, I, from myself, am speaking,
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.
He that, from himself, doth speak, his own glory, is seeking: he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same, is, true, and, injustice, in him, is there none.
19 Hath not Moses given you the Law? and none of you keepeth the Law! Why do ye seek to kill me?
Did not, Moses, give you the law? And yet, not one of you, doeth the law!—Why, seek ye, to slay, me?
20 The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon! Who seeketh to kill thee?
The multitude answered—A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one good work, and ye are all wondering.
Jesus answered, and said unto them—One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling:
22 Moses hath given you circumcision, (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
For this cause, Moses, hath given you, circumcision, —not that, of Moses, it is, but of the fathers; —and, on Sabbath, ye circumcise a man.
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?
If, circumcision, a man receiveth, on Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, with me, are ye bitter as gall, because, a whole man, I made, well, on Sabbath?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging,
25 Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying—Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill?
26 and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?
And yet, see! with freedom of speech, he is talking, and, nothing, unto him, do they say: —Have the rulers perhaps come to know, of a truth, that, this, is, the Christ?
27 Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
But, as for this one, we know whence he is; The Christ, however, whensoever he shall come, no one, getteth to know whence he is.
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.
Jesus, therefore, cried aloud in the temple, teaching, and saying—Both me, ye know, and ye know whence I am, —and yet, of myself, have I not come, but he is real, who sent me, whom, ye, know not.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth.
30 Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
They were seeking therefore to seize him; and yet no one laid on him his hand, because, not yet, had come his hour.
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?
But, from amongst the multitude, many, believed on him, and were saying—The Christ, whensoever he cometh, greater signs, will he do, than those which, this one, did?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.
The Pharisees hearkened unto the multitude murmuring concerning him these things; and the High-priests and the Pharisees sent forth officers, that they might seize him.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and then I go to him that sent me.
Jesus, therefore, said—Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me:
34 Ye will seek me and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come.
Ye shall seek me, and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come.
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?
The Jews, therefore, said unto themselves—Whither, is, this one, about to go, that we shall not find him? Unto the dispersion of the Greeks, is he about to go, and teach the Greeks?
36 What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come?
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.
Now, on the last—the great—day of the feast, Jesus was standing, and he cried aloud, saying—If any man thirst, let him come unto me and drink:
38 He that believeth in me, from within him, as the Scripture hath said, will flow rivers of living water.
He that believeth on me—just as said the Scripture, —River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.
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.
Now, this, spake he concerning the Spirit which they who believed on him were about to receive; for, not yet, was there Spirit, because, Jesus, not yet, was glorified!
40 Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, This is in truth the prophet. Others said, This is the Christ.
Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying—This, is, in truth, the prophet.
41 Others said, Doth the Christ then come from Galilee?
Others, were saying—This, is, the Christ. But, others, were saying—Out of Galilee, is, the Christ, to come?
42 Hath not the Scripture said, that the Christ cometh from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?
Hath not the Scripture said: Of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, cometh the Christ?
43 So there was a division among the multitude because of him.
A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.
44 And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
Certain, indeed, from among them, were wishing to seize him; but, no one, thrust upon him his hands.
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
So then the officers came unto the High-priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them—For what cause, have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
The officers answered—Never, man spake thus!
47 The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them—Surely, ye also, have not been led astray?
48 Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?
Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?
49 but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.
But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.
50 Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,
Nicodemus saith unto them—he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them—
51 Doth our law judge a man, unless it first hear from him, and know what he doeth?
Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing?
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou too from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet ariseth from Galilee.
They answered and said unto him—Surely, thou also, art not, of Galilee? Search and see! That, out of Galilee, a prophet is not to arise.
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;
And they went, each unto his own house;
