John 7
1 And after these things was walking Jesus in Galilee; not for He was desiring in Judea to walk, because were seeking Him the Jews to kill.
After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
2 Was now near the feast of the Jews of Booths.
However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
3 Said therefore to Him the brothers of Him; do depart from here and do go into Judea so that also the disciples of You (will see *N(k)O*) of You the works that You are doing;
So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
4 No [one] for anything in secret does and seeks himself in public to be; If these things You do, do show Yourself to the world.
For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
5 Not even for the brothers of Him were believing in Him.
For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Says therefore to them Jesus; The time for Me not yet is come, but the time of you always is ready.
Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
7 Not is able the world to hate you, Me myself however it hates, because I myself bear witness concerning it that the works of it evil are.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
8 You yourselves do go up to feast (this; *k*) I myself (not *N(k)O*) am going up to feast this, for My time (*k*) not yet has been fulfilled.
Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
9 These things now having said (He himself *N(K)O*) He remained in Galilee.
Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
10 When however had gone up the brothers of Him to the feast, then also He himself went up not openly but as in secret.
But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
11 The therefore Jews were seeking Him at the feast and were saying; Where is He?
So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
12 And murmuring about Him there was much among the crowds. Some indeed were saying that Good He is, Others however were saying; No, but He deceives the people.
Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
13 No [one] however publicly was speaking about Him because of the fear of the Jews.
Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now also of the feast being in the middle went up (*k*) Jesus into the temple and was teaching.
About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
15 (and *k*) Were marveling (then *NO*) the Jews saying; How this one writings knows not having studied?
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
16 Answered (therefore *NO*) them Jesus and said: My teaching not is of Myself but of the [One who] having sent Me;
“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
17 If anyone shall desire the will of Him to do, he will know concerning the teaching whether from God it is or I myself from Myself speak.
If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
18 The [one] from himself speaking the glory [their] own seeks; the [One] however seeking the glory of the [One who] having sent Him, He true is, and unrighteousness in Him not is.
He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.
19 Not Moses (has given *NK(o)*) to you the law? and no [one] of you keeps the law! Why Me do you seek to kill?
Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
20 Answered the crowd (and said: *k*) A demon You have; who You seeks to kill?
“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
21 Answered (*k*) Jesus and said to them; One work I did, and all you marvel.
Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
22 Because of this: Moses has given you circumcision — not that of Moses it is but of the fathers — also on Sabbath you circumcise a man.
But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
23 If circumcision receives (*o*) a man on Sabbath so that not shall be broken the law of Moses, with Me myself are you angry because entirely a man sound I made on [the] Sabbath?
If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
24 Not do judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment (do judge. *N(k)O*)
Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
25 Were saying therefore some of those of Jerusalem; Not this is he whom they seek to kill?
Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26 And behold publicly He speaks, and no [thing] to Him they say. otherwise otherwise Truly have recognized the rulers that this is (truly *K*) the Christ?
Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
27 But this [man] we know from where He is; The however Christ whenever He may come, no [one] knows from where He is.
But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
28 Cried out therefore in the temple teaching Jesus and saying; Me Me you know and you know from where I am; and of Myself not I have come, but is true the [One] having sent Me whom you yourselves not know;
Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,
29 I myself (now *k*) know Him, because from Him I am, and He and He Me sent.
but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
30 They were seeking therefore Him to take, but no [one] laid upon Him the hand, because not yet had come the hour of Him.
So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 Out of the crowd now many believed in Him and were saying (that: *k*) The Christ When He may come, (Surely not *N(k)O*) more signs (than these things *k*) will He do than this [man] has done?
Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
32 Heard the Pharisees the crowd murmuring about Him these things, and sent the chief priests and the Pharisees officers that they may seize Him.
When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
33 Said therefore (to them *k*) Jesus; Yet time a little with you I am and I go to the [One] having sent Me.
So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
34 You will seek Me and not will find Me, and where am I myself you yourselves not are able to come.
You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35 Said therefore the Jews among themselves; Where He is about to go that we ourselves not will find Him? Surely to the Dispersion among the Greeks is He about to go and to teach the Greeks?
At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What is word this that He said; You will seek Me and not will find (Me, *NK*) and Where am I myself you yourselves not are able to come?
What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 In now the last day the great [day] of the feast had stood Jesus and cried out saying; If anyone shall thirst, he should come to Me and should drink.
On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
38 The [one] believing in Me myself, even as has said the Scripture: Rivers out of the belly of him will flow of water living.
Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
39 This now He said concerning the Spirit (which *N(k)O*) were about to receive those (having believed *N(k)O*) in Him; not yet for was [the] Spirit (Holy *KO*) (given *O*) because (*k*) Jesus (not yet *N(k)O*) was glorified.
He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 (many *K*) from the crowd therefore having heard (the *N(k)O*) (words *N(K)O*) these were saying (that: *o*) This is truly the Prophet.
On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
41 Others were saying; This is the Christ; (Those *N(k)O*) however were saying; Surely not for out of Galilee the Christ comes?
Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
42 (Surely *N(k)O*) the Scripture has said that out of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the village where was David comes the Christ
Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
43 A division therefore occurred in the crowd because of Him.
So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
44 Some now were desiring of them to seize Him, but no [one] (laid *NK(o)*) on Him the hands.
Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
45 Came therefore the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees, and said to them that; Because of why not did you bring Him?
Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
46 Answered the officers; Never spoke like this a man (as *ko*) (this *KO*) (*ko*) (man. *KO*)
“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
47 Answered therefore them the Pharisees; Surely not also you yourselves have been deceived?
“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
48 Surely not any of the rulers has believed on Him or of the Pharisees?
“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
49 But crowd this not knowing the law (cursed *N(k)O*) are.
But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
50 Says Nicodemus to them, the [one] having come (at night *K*) to Him (the *N*) (former *NO*) one being of them;
Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
51 Surely not the law of us does judge the man only unless it shall hear (first *N(k)O*) from him and may know what he does?
“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
52 They answered and they said to him; Surely not also you yourself from Galilee are? do search and do see that out of Galilee a prophet not (is raised. *N(k)O*)
“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
53 (And *KO*) (he went *K(o)*) (each to the home of him, *KO*)
Then each went to his own home.
