Chapter 7

¹ AFTER these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
² Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
³ And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
⁴ For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
⁵ For neither did his brethren believe in him.
⁶ Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
⁷ The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
⁸ Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
⁹ When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
¹⁰ But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?
¹² And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.
¹³ Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
¹⁴ Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
¹⁵ And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
¹⁶ Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
¹⁷ If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
¹⁸ He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
¹⁹ Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
²⁰ Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
²¹ Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
²² Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
²³ If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
²⁴ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
²⁵ Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
²⁶ And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
²⁷ But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
³⁰ They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
³¹ But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
³² The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
³³ Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
³⁴ You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
³⁵ The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
³⁶ What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?
³⁷ And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.
³⁸ He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
³⁹ Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
⁴⁰ Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
⁴¹ Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
⁴² Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
⁴³ So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
⁴⁴ And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
⁴⁵ The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
⁴⁶ The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
⁴⁹ But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
⁵⁰ Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)
⁵¹ Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
⁵² They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
⁵³ And every man returned to his own house.

Chapter 7

¹ After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
² Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
³ 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 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 neither did his brethren believe in him.)
⁶ Then Jesus said to them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.
⁷ The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil.
⁸ Go ye up to this feast: I go not yet to this feast, for my time is not yet full come.
⁹ When he had said these words to them, he abode still 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.
¹¹ Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
¹² 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 Yet, no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
¹⁴ Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
¹⁵ And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
¹⁶ Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that 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.
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.
¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
²⁰ The people answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who goeth about to kill thee?
²¹ Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
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.
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?
²⁴ Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
²⁵ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek 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?
²⁷ But we know this man, whence he is: whereas when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
²⁸ 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 But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
³⁰ Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
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?
³² The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him: and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
³³ 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 will not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
³⁵ 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 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 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 that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers 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 that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
⁴⁰ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, In truth this is the Prophet.
⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Will Christ come out of Galilee?
⁴² Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh from the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.
⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
⁴⁵ 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 man spoke like this man.
⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?
⁴⁹ But this people who know not the law are cursed.
⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them)
⁵¹ 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 from Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
⁵³ And every man went to his own house.

¹⁵ Jews therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"
¹⁶ therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
¹⁷ 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 who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

²² has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
²³ a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
²⁴ judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
²⁵ some of them of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?
²⁶ he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
²⁷ we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from."

³⁷ on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
³⁸ who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

Chapter 7

¹ And after these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judaea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
² Now the tabernacles, the feast of the Jews, was near.
³ His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;
⁴ for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be [known] in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:
⁵ for neither did his brethren believe on him.
⁶ Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.
⁷ The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.
⁸ Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for *my* time is not yet fulfilled.
⁹ Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.
¹⁰ But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.
¹¹ The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
¹² And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is [a] good [man]; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.
¹³ However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of [their] fear of the Jews.
¹⁴ But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
¹⁵ The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man] letters, having never learned?
¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.
¹⁷ If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or [that] I speak from myself.
¹⁸ He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
¹⁹ Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?
²⁰ The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?
²¹ Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.
²² Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
²³ If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?
²⁴ Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.
²⁵ Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
²⁶ and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?
²⁷ But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and 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 do not know.
²⁹ I know him, because I am from him, and *he* has sent me.
³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.
³¹ But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this [man] has done?
³² The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they might take him.
³³ Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while I am with you, and I go to him that has sent me.
³⁴ Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me], and where I am ye cannot come.
³⁵ The Jews therefore said to one another, Where is he about to go that we shall not find him? Is he about to go to the dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
³⁶ What word is this which he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find [me]; and where I am ye cannot come?
³⁷ In the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried saying, If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink.
³⁸ He that believes on me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
³⁹ But this he said concerning the Spirit, which they that believed on him were about to receive; for [the] Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
⁴⁰ [Some] out of the crowd therefore, having heard this word, said, This is truly the prophet.
⁴¹ Others said, This is the Christ. Others said, Does then the Christ come out of Galilee?
⁴² Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from the village of Bethlehem, where David was?
⁴³ There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.
⁴⁴ But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon him.
⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?
⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man [speaks].
⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?
⁴⁸ Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?
⁴⁹ But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.
⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),
⁵¹ Does our law judge a man before it have first heard from himself, and know what he does?
⁵² They answered and said to him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, that no prophet arises out of Galilee.
⁵³ And every one went to his home.

Chapter 7

¹ After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.
² But the feast of the Jews, the feast of tents, was near.
³ So his brothers said to him, Go away from here into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works which you do.
⁴ Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.
⁵ For even his brothers had no belief in him.
⁶ Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.
⁷ It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.
⁸ Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.
⁹ Having said these things to them, he still kept in Galilee.
¹⁰ But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.
¹¹ At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, Where is he?
¹² And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.
¹³ But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.
¹⁴ Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.
¹⁵ Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.
¹⁶ Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.
¹⁷ If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.
¹⁸ The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.
¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?
²⁰ The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?
²¹ This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.
²² Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.
²³ If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
²⁴ Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.
²⁵ Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?
²⁶ And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?
²⁷ However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.
²⁸ Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.
²⁹ I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.
³⁰ Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.
³¹ And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?
³² This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.
³³ Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.
³⁴ You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.
