John 7
1 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.
And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he did not want to walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.
Now the feast of the Jews, the feast of tabernacles, was near.
3 His brethren, therefore, said unto him—Remove hence, and withdraw into Judaea, that, thy disciples also, may view thy works which thou art doing.
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.
4 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.
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.
5 For, not even his brethren, were believing on him.
For not even his brothers believed in him.
6 Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—My season, not yet, is here; but, your season, at anytime, is ready:
Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet here, but your time is always ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but, me, it hateth, because, I, bear witness concerning it, that, the works thereof, are, wicked.
The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8 Ye, go up unto the feast: I, not yet, am coming up unto this feast, because, my season, not yet, hath fully come.
Go ye up to this feast. I am not yet going to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.
9 And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding in Galilee.
And having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
10 But, when his brethren had gone up unto the feast, then, he also, went up, —not openly, but as it were in secret.
But when his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in private.
11 The Jews, therefore, were seeking him in the feast, and were saying—Where is that one?
The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is that man?
12 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.
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.
13 No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.
Yet no man spoke openly about him because of fear of the Jews.
14 Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching.
And when it was now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
15 The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
The Jews therefore marveled, saying, How does this man know scholarly material, not having learned?
16 Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said—My teaching, is not mine, but his who sent me.
Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 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,
If any man wants to do his will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or I speak from myself.
18 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.
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.
19 Did not, Moses, give you the law? And yet, not one of you, doeth the law!—Why, seek ye, to slay, me?
Did not Moses give you the law, and none of you does the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
20 The multitude answered—A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee?
The multitude answered and said, Thou have a demon. Who seeks to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered, and said unto them—One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling:
Jesus answered and said to them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this.
22 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.
Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on a sabbath.
23 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?
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?
24 Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging,
Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying—Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill?
Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
26 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?
And lo, he speaks in public, and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ?
27 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.
However we know this man, where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no man knows where he is from.
28 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.
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.
29 I, know him, because, from him, I am, and, he, sent me forth.
I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.
30 They were seeking therefore to seize him; and yet no one laid on him his hand, because, not yet, had come his hour.
They sought therefore to seize him, and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.
31 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?
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?
32 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.
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.
33 Jesus, therefore, said—Yet a little time, I am, with you, and withdraw unto him that sent me:
Jesus therefore said, Yet a little time I am with you, and then I go to him who sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come.
Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 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?
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?
36 What, is this which he said: Ye shall seek me and not find me, and, where, I, am, ye, cannot come?
What is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and will not find me, and, Where I am, ye cannot come?
37 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:
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.
38 He that believeth on me—just as said the Scripture, —River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.
He who believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly will flow rivers of living water.
39 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!
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.
40 Some from amongst the multitude, therefore, having hearkened unto these words, were saying—This, is, in truth, the prophet.
Many from the multitude therefore, when they heard the saying, said, This is truly the prophet.
41 Others, were saying—This, is, the Christ. But, others, were saying—Out of Galilee, is, the Christ, to come?
Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, For does the Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the Scripture said: Of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was, cometh the Christ?
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?
43 A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.
So there became a division among the multitude because of him.
44 Certain, indeed, from among them, were wishing to seize him; but, no one, thrust upon him his hands.
And some of them wanted to take him, but no man laid hands on him.
45 So then the officers came unto the High-priests and Pharisees, and, they, said unto them—For what cause, have ye not brought him?
The subordinates therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those men said to them, Why did ye not bring him?
46 The officers answered—Never, man spake thus!
The subordinates answered, A man never so spoke like this man.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them—Surely, ye also, have not been led astray?
The Pharisees therefore answered them, Have ye not also been led astray?
48 Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?
Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
49 But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.
But this multitude that does not know the law are accursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them—he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them—
Nicodemus says to them (he who came to him by night, being one of them),
51 Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing?
Does our law judge a man, unless it first may hear from himself and know what he does?
52 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.
They answered and said to him, Are thou also from Galilee? Search and see, that out of Galilee arises no prophet.
53 And they went, each unto his own house;
And each man went to his house.
