John 7
1 And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
After these things, Yeshua [Salvation] was walking in Galilee [District, Circuit], for he would not walk in Judea [Praise], because the Jews [Praisers] sought to kill him.
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was near.
Now the festival of Sukkot ·Tabernacles·, the Festival of Booths, was at hand. (The seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 15th day).
3 His brothers therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judea so that thy disciples also may see thy works that thou do.
His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea [Praise], that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
4 For no man does anything in secret, and he himself seeks to be in public. If thou do these things, show thyself to the world.
For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
5 For not even his brothers believed in him.
For even his brothers didn’t trust in him.
6 Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, 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 can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.
You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
9 And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee [District, Circuit].
10 But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.
But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
12 And there was much murmuring among the multitudes about him. Some said, He is a good man, others said, No, but he leads the multitude astray.
There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
13 Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.
Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews [Praisers].
14 And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua [Salvation] went up into the temple and taught.
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much, without having studied?”
16 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself.
If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, this man is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no sinfulness ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
Didn’t Moses [Drawn out] give you the Torah ·Teaching·? Yet none of you keeps Torah ·Teaching·! Why do you seek to kill me?”
20 The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?
The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.
Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a sabbath.
Moses [Drawn out] has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses [Drawn out], but of the Patriarchs), and on the Sabbath ·To cease· you circumcise a boy.
23 If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be loosed, are ye angry with me because I made a man entirely well on a sabbath?
If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath ·To cease·, that the Torah ·Teaching· of Moses [Drawn out] may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath ·To cease·?
24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge upright judgment.”
25 Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
Therefore some of them of Jerusalem [City of peace] said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?
Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah [Anointed one]?
27 However we know this man, where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no man knows where he is from.
However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, and know where I am from? And I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom ye know not.
Yeshua [Salvation] therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 But many from the crowd believed in him, and they said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these that this man did?
But of the multitude, many trusted in him. They said, “When the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him.
The Pharisees [Separated] heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] sent officers to arrest him.
33 Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.
Then Yeshua [Salvation] said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
34 Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.
You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, Where is this man going to go that we will not find him? Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
The Jews [Praisers] therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and, Where I am, ye cannot come?
What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’?”
37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus had stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come to me and drink.
Now on the last day of the festival (of Tabernacles, the seventh day called Hoshana Rabbah ·Save now Great·, the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 21st day)), Yeshua [Salvation] stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
38 He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.
Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water will flow from his inmost being!”
39 But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
But he said this about the Ruach ·Spirit, Breath·, which those trusting in him were to receive. For the Holy Ruach ·Spirit, Breath· was not yet given, because Yeshua [Salvation] was not yet glorified.
40 Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet.
Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
41 Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee?
Others said, “This is the Messiah [Anointed one].” But some said, “What, does the Messiah [Anointed one] come out of Galilee [District, Circuit]?
42 Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
Has not the Scripture said that the Messiah [Anointed one] comes of the offspring of David [Beloved], and from Bethlehem [House of Bread], the village where David [Beloved] lived?”
43 So there became a division among the multitude because of him.
So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
44 And some of them wanted to take him, but no man laid hands on him.
Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees [Separated], and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 The subordinates answered, A man never so spoke like this man.
The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray?
The Pharisees [Separated] therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?
48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
Have any of the rulers trusted in him, or of the Pharisees [Separated]?
49 But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.
True, these 'am-ha'aretz ·people of the land· do, but they know nothing about the Torah ·Teaching·, they are under a curse!”
50 Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them),
Nicodemus [Victory people] (he who came to him by night, being one of the Pharisees [Separated]) said to them,
51 Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does?
“Our Torah ·Teaching· does not condemn a man, does it, until after hearing from him personally and finding out what he’s doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.
They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee [District, Circuit]? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee [District, Circuit].”
53 And each man went to his house.
Everyone went to his own house.
