John 7
1 After these things Jesus traveled about in Galilee, for he did not want to go into Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
After these things Jesus walked about in Galilee: for He was not willing to walk about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
2 Now the Jewish Festival of Shelters was near.
And the feast of the Jews, tabernacles, was nigh.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Leave this place and go to Judea, so that your disciples also may see the works that you do.
Then His brothers said to Him; Depart hence, and go into Judea; in order that thy disciples shall see thy works which thou art doing. For no one does anything in secret, and Himself seeks to be public.
4 No one does anything in secret if he himself wants to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”
If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.
5 For even his brothers did not believe in him.
For His brothers were not believing on Him.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
Jesus says to them, My time is not yet; but your time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.
The world is not able to hate you; but it hates me, because I testify against it, that its works are evil.
8 You go up to the festival; I am not going to this festival because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”
You go up to the feast: I do not go to this feast; because my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
Saying these things He remained in Galilee.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.
And when His brothers went up to the feast, then Himself also went up, not openly, but in secret.
11 The Jews were looking for him at the festival and said, “Where is he?”
Then the Jews were seeking Him at the feast, and saying, Where is He?
12 There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “No, he leads the crowds astray.”
And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning Him: some indeed were saying, That He is good; others were saying, No, but He deceives the multitude.
13 Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.
No one indeed was speaking openly concerning Him on account of the fear of the Jews.
14 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.
But the feast already being midway, Jesus came up into the temple, and was teaching.
15 Then the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much? He has never been educated.”
Then the Jews marveled, saying; How does this one know letters, never having been taught?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is of him who sent me.
Then Jesus responded to them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but of Him that sent me;
17 If anyone wishes to do his will, he will know about this teaching, whether it comes from God, or whether I speak from myself.
if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak for myself.
18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, that person is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent Him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”
Did not Moses give you the law? and no one of you does the law. Why do you seek to kill me?
20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon. Who seeks to kill you?”
And the multitude responded, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
Jesus responded and said to them, I did one work, and you were all astonished.
22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the ancestors), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
Moses gave you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses is not broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, in order that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you mad at me, because I made a man entirely whole on the Sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteously.”
Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is not this the one they seek to kill?
Then certain ones of Jerusalemites were saying, Is not this He whom they wished to kill?
26 See, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ, can it?
And behold He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Whether do the rulers truly know that He is the Christ?
27 Yet we know where this one is from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.”
But we know Him whence He is: but when Christ may come, no one knows whence He is.
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me and know where I come from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.
Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, You indeed know me, and know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but the one sending me is true, whom you do not know.
29 I know him because I come from him and he sent me.”
I know Him, because I am with Him, and He sent me.
30 They were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
Then they were seeking to arrest Him: and no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31 But many in the crowd believed in him, and they said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than what this one has done?”
And many from the multitude believed on Him; and continued to say, When Christ may come, will He do more miracles than this one is doing?
32 The Pharisees heard the crowds whispering these things about Jesus, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers, that they should arrest Him.
33 Jesus then said, “I am still with you for a short amount of time, and then I go to him who sent me.
Then Jesus said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to Him that sent me.
34 You will seek me but you will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come.”
You will seek me, and will not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come.
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we will not be able to find him? Will he go to the dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
Then the Jews said to themselves, Where is He about to go, that we shall not find Him? is He about to go into the Dispersion of the Greek, and teach the Greeks?
36 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me but will not find me; where I go, you will not be able to come'?”
What is this word which He said, You shall seek me, and not find me: and where I am, you are not able to come?
37 Now on the last, great day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.
And on the last great day of the feast, Jesus stood and continued to cry out, saying, If any one thirst, let him come and drink.
38 He who believes in me, just as the scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his stomach.”
The one believing on me, as the Scripture said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him would receive; the Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus was not yet glorified.
And He spoke this concerning the Spirit, whom those believing on Him were about to receive: for the Spirit was not yet; because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Some of the crowd, when they heard these words, said, “This is indeed the prophet.”
Then those hearing these words from the multitude, were saying, This is truly the prophet;
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Does the Christ come from Galilee?
others were saying, He is the Christ; others were saying, For whether does Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Have the scriptures not said that the Christ will come from the descendants of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
Did not the Scripture say, that Christ comes from the seed of David and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.
Then there was a schism in the crowd on account of Him:
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
and some of them wished to arrest Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
45 Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”
Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why did you not bring Him?
46 The officers answered, “Never has anyone spoken like this.”
The officers responded, Never did a man so speak, as this man speaks.
47 So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?
And the Pharisees responded to them; Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
Whether has any one of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on Him?
49 But this crowd that does not know the law, they are cursed.”
But this crowd knowing not the law are accursed.
50 Nicodemus (one of the Pharisees, who came to him earlier) said to them,
Nicodemus being one of them, says to them;
51 “Does our law judge a man before hearing from him and knowing what he does?”
Whether does our law judge a man, until it may first hear from him and know what he does?
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet comes from Galilee.”
They responded and said to him, Whither art thou also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet rises out of Galilee.
53 [Then everyone went to his own house.
