John 7
1 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,
After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —
Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 his brethren, therefore, said unto him, 'Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;
His brethren therefore said to him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;'
For [there is] no man [that] doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 for not even were his brethren believing in him.
(For neither did his brethren believe in him.)
6 Jesus, therefore, saith to them, 'My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.
7 the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.
8 Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'
Go ye up to this feast: I go not yet to this feast, for my time is not yet full come.
9 and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
When he had said these words to them, he abode [still] in Galilee.
10 And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;
But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, 'Where is that one?'
Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — 'He is good;' and others said, 'No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'
And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, No; but he deceiveth the people.
13 no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.
Yet, no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
14 And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,
Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, 'How hath this one known letters — not having learned?'
And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them and said, 'My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.
If any man will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or [whether] I speak from myself.
18 'He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
He that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'
Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The multitude answered and said, 'Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'
The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, 'One work I did, and ye all wonder,
Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;
Moses therefore gave to you circumcision, (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
23 if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
If a man on the sabbath receiveth circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have restored a man to sound health on the sabbath?
24 judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'
Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?
Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'
But we know this man, whence he is: whereas when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;
Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'
But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,
Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — 'The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?'
And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this [man] hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him: and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Jesus, therefore, said to them, 'Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;
Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go to him that sent me.
34 ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'
Ye will seek me, and will not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come.
35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, 'Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;
Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'
What [manner of] saying is this that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come?
37 And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, 'If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;
In the last day, that great [day] of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirsteth, let him come to me, and drink.
38 he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'
He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(But this he spoke of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet [given], because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, 'This is truly the Prophet;'
Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet.
41 others said, 'This is the Christ;' and others said, 'Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?
Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?'
Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.
So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;
And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, 'Wherefore did ye not bring him?'
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, 'Never so spake man — as this man.'
The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, 'Have ye also been led astray?
Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
48 did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?
Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.'
But this people who know not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,
Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them)
51 'Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'
Doth our law judge [any] man before it heareth him, and knoweth what he doeth?
52 They answered and said to him, 'Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;'
They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.
And every man went to his own house.
