John 7
1 After these things Jesus resided in Galilee: for He would not appear in Judea, 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 Jews feast called the feast of tabernacles was near;
But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.
3 his brethren therefore said, Depart from hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples there also may see the works which thou performest.
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 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.
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 neither did his brethren believe in Him.
For, not even his brethren, were believing on him.
6 Then saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you:
Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—My season, not yet, is here; but, your season, at anytime, is ready:
7 but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds 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 this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because 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 And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.
And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding in Galilee.
10 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.
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 for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He?
The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying—Where is that one?
12 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.
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 spake openly in favor 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 about the middle 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 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?
The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
16 Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach 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 man desire to do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of 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 is true, and there is no imposture in him.
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 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you observeth the law? wherefore else 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 people answered and said, Thou art possessed by 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 unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it.
Jesus answered, and said unto them—One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling:
22 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:
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 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?
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 appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging,
25 Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death?
So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying—Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill?
26 and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah?
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 But we know whence this man is; whereas when 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 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.
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 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He hath sent me.
I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth.
30 They sought therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hand on Him, because his hour was 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 And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?
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 Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, 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 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.
Jesus, therefore, said—Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me:
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
Ye shall seek me, and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come.
35 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?
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 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?"
What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come?
37 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.
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 on me, as the scripture hath said, rivers of living water shall flow from within him.
He that believeth on me—just as said the Scripture, —River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.
39 (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.)
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 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this discourse, said, This is in truth a prophet.
Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying—This, is, in truth, the prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Messiah. But some said, Shall the Messiah come out of 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 Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the town whence 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 people about Him.
A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.
44 And some among them would have seized 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 Then came the officers to the chief priests and pharisees, and they said, Why have ye not brought Him? and the officers answered,
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 Never man spake like this man.
The officers answered—Never, man spake thus!
47 The pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
The Pharisees, therefore, answered them—Surely, ye also, have not been led astray?
48 have any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the pharisees?
Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?
49 but these people, who know not the law, are cursed.
But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.
50 Upon this Nicodemus, (who came to Him by night)
Nicodemus saith unto them—he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them—
51 being one of them, saith to them, Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he hath done?
Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing?
52 They replied, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
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 And every man went to his own house.
And they went, each unto his own house;
