John 7
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judaea, 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 of tabernacles was at hand.
But the feast of the Jews was near, that of the pitching of tents.
3 His brethren therefore said to him, Depart from here, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
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 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.
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 Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.
Jesus, therefore, saith unto them—My season, not yet, is here; but, your season, at anytime, is ready:
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works 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: I go not up yet to this feast; for my time is not yet full 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 When he had said these words to them, he abode still in Galilee.
And, these things, having said unto them, he was still abiding in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren had gone up, then he went also to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
But, when his brethren had gone up unto the feast, then, he also, went up, —not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought 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, Nay; but 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 Yet no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst 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, having never learned?
The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine 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 will do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I speak from 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 his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is 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 keepeth the law? Why go ye about 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 hast a demon: who goeth about to kill thee?
The multitude answered—A demon, thou hast: Who, is seeking, to slay, thee?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
Jesus answered, and said unto them—One work, I did, and ye, all, are marvelling:
22 Moses therefore gave to you circumcision; ( not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers; ) and ye on the sabbath circumcise a man.
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 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?
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 the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
Be not judging according to appearance, but, just judgment, be judging,
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
So then, some of them of Jerusalem were saying—Is not, this, he whom they are seeking to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
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 this man where he is from: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth where he is from.
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 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know where I am from: and 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 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands 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 Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which 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 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take 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 Then said Jesus to them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I 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, there 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, Where will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the 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 manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, there 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 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.
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, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.
He that believeth on me—just as said the Scripture, —River, from within him, shall flow, of living water.
39 ( But this he spoke 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 saying, said, In truth this is the 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 Christ. But some said, Shall Christ 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 from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where 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 because of him.
A division, therefore, arose in the multitude, because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man 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 to them, Why have ye not brought him?
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 The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.
The officers answered—Never, man spake thus!
47 Then the Pharisees 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 or of the Pharisees believed on him?
Surely, none of the rulers, hath believed in him, nor of the Pharisees?
49 But this people who know not the law are cursed.
But, this multitude, that take no note of the law, are, laid under a curse.
50 Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them, )
Nicodemus saith unto them—he that came unto him formerly, being, one, from among them—
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it heareth him, and knoweth what he doeth?
Surely, our law, doth not judge the man, unless it hear first from him, and get to know what he is doing?
52 They answered and said to him, Art thou also from Galilee? Search, and look: 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;
