Yochanan 7

1And after these things Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach itinerated in the Galil, for he was not wanting to move about in Yehudah, because those of Yehudah were seeking to kill him.
2Now the Chag of Sukkot was near.#7:2 Lv 23:34; Dt 16:16
3His achim then said to him, Leave here and go away into the land of Yehudah, that also your talmidim will see your ma'asim which you do.
4For no one who seeks public notice does anything besod (secretly). If these things you do, then manifest yourself to HaOlam.
5For not even the achim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach were believing in him.#7:5 Ps 69:8
6Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My sha'ah has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7The Olam Hazeh is not capable of sin'ah (hatred) toward you, but the Olam Hazeh hates me, and for this reason: I give solemn edut (testimony) about it because the ma'asim of the Olam Hazeh are ra'im (evil).
8You make aliyah leregel up to the Chag (Feast). I am not going up to this Chag (Feast), because my time has not yet been fulfilled.
9And having said these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remained in the Galil.
10But when the achim of him made aliyah leregel to the Chag (Feast), then also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up#7:10 Jn 5:30 not publicly but besod (secretly).
11Then those of Yehudah were seeking Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Chag (Feast) and were saying, Where is that man?
12And there was much telunnah (murmuring) about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach among the multitudes. Some were saying, He is tov (good), but others were saying, Lo (no), he deceives the multitude.
13No one, however, was speaking openly about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach because of the fear of those of Yehudah.
14But around the middle period of the Chag (Feast), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the Beis Hamikdash and was saying shiurim (teaching torah).
15Therefore, those of Yehudah were marveling, saying, How has this man binah (understanding) of a Yeshiva yode'a sefer (scholar), not having learned?
16Therefore, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, My Torah (teaching) is not mine but of the One having sent me.
17If anyone wants to do the ratzon Hashem, he will have da'as about my Torah, whether it is of Hashem or I speak only from myself.#7:17 Ps 25:14; 92:15; Num 16:28
18The one speaking from himself seeks his own kavod (glory), but he who is seeking the kavod of the One having sent him, this one is ne'eman and there is no avlah (injustice) in him.
19Has not Moshe given you the Torah? None of you mekyyaim (fulfills) es [kol] toras Moshe. Why are you seeking to kill me?#7:19 Dt 32:46; Prov 20:9; Koh 7:20; Isa 53:6; Ro 7:19
20The multitude said, You have a shed (demon). Who is seeking to kill you?
21In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Of the Pe'ulot of Hashem, I accomplished echad, one pe'ulah, and everyone marvels.
22Moshe has given you bris milah not that bris milah is of Moshe, but it is of the Avot, and on a Shabbos you perpetually perform bris milah.#7:22 Gn 17:10-14; 21:4; Lv 12:3
23If a man receives bris milah on Shabbos and lo tufar Torat Moshe#7:23 Gn 17:14 (the Torah of Moses may not be broken) are you angry with me because I gave a man refu'ah shleimah on Shabbos?
24Do not judge according to appearance but judge with mishpat tzedek.#7:24 Zech 7:9; 1Sm 16:7; Isa 11:3-4; Lv 19:15
25Therefore, some of the ones of Yerushalayim were saying, Is it not this man whom they are seeking to kill?
26And, hinei, he speaks publicly and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the manhigim (the gedolim of Judaism) have da'as that this man is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach?
27But this man, we have da'as where he is from; but the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, whenever he comes, no one has da'as where he is from.
28Therefore, in the Beis Hamikdash while teaching, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out, saying, You have da'as of me, and you have da'as of where I am from. I have not come on my own, but the One Who sent me is ne'eman. He is the One of Whom you do not have da'as.
29I have da'as of Him, because from Him Ani Hu, and He is the One Who sent me.
30Therefore, they were seeking to arrest him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his sha'ah (hour, time) had not yet come.
31From the multitude, however, many put their emunah, their bitachon, in him, and were saying, The Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, whenever he comes, surely he will not do more otot (miraculous signs) than the things which this man did?
32The Perushim heard the telunnah (murmuring) of these things from the multitude, the talk about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and they sent the Rashei Hakohanim and the mesharetim of the Perushim that they might arrest him.
33Therefore, he said, Yet a little time I am with you and I go away to the One having sent me.
34You will seek me and not find me and where Ani Hu you are not able to come.
35Therefore, those of Yehudah said to themselves, Where is this man about to journey that we will not find him? Surely he is not about to sojourn to the Golus of the Yevanim (Greeks) to teach the Yevanim?#7:35 Prov 1:28
36What is this dvar which he said, You will seek me and will not find me and where Ani Hu, you are not able to come?
37Now on the last day of the Chag, Hoshana Rabbah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink.#7:37 Lv 23:36; Isa 55:1; 12:3; 49:10
38The one with emunah in me, as the Kitvei Hakodesh said, “Out of the midst of him, rivers of MAYIM CHAYYIM#7:38 Zech 14:8 will flow.”#7:38 Prov 18:4; Isa 44:3; 58:11; 43:19f, Ezek 47:1-12; Yoel 3:18; Song 4:15
39But this he said about the Ruach Hakodesh which the ones having emunah (faith) in him were about to receive, for the Ruach Hakodesh had not yet been given, because Rebbe Melech HaMoshiach had not yet received kavod.#7:39 Yoel 2:28 [3:1]
40Some of the multitude, therefore, having heard these devarim were saying, This man is beemes the Navi.
41Others were saying, This man is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. But some were saying, Surely the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes not from the Galil, does he?
42Has not the Kitvei Hakodesh said that the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is from the zera Dovid and from Beit-Lechem, the shtetl where Dovid lived?#7:42 2Sm 7:12; Ps 89:3-4; Mic 5:2 [1]; Jer 23:5
43A machloket (controversy), therefore, occurred among the multitude because of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
44And some of them were wanting to arrest him, but no one laid his hands on him.
45Then the avadim of the Rashei Hakohanim and Perushim came and the Rashei Hakohanim and Perushim said to them, Why did you not bring him?
46In reply, the avadim said, Never Ish spoke like this Ish.
47In reply, therefore, the Perushim said, Surely not you also have been deceived?
48Has any of the manhigim put their emunah (faith) in him, or any of the Perushim?#7:48 T.N. but cf. Jn 7:50; 19:39
49But this am ha'aretz crowd has no da'as of Torah and is cursed.#7:49 Dt 27:26
50Rav Nakdimon, the one having come to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach earlier, being one of their own, says to them,
51Surely Torateinu (Our Torah) judges not the Man unless it hears first from the Man himself and has da'as of what he does, does it?#7:51 Dt 1:16; 17:6; Ex 23:1
52They answered and said to Rav Nakdimon, Surely not you also are from the Galil, are you? Search [the Kitvei Hakodesh] and see that from the Galil a Navi does not arise.#7:52 T.N. but cf. 2Kgs 14:25; Isa 9:1,2
53And they went each one to his bais.

John 7
7
1And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,
2and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —
3his brethren, therefore, said unto him, ‘Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;
4for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;’
5for not even were his brethren believing in him.
6Jesus, therefore, saith to them, ‘My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
7the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.
8Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;’
9and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
10And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;
11the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, ‘Where is that one?’
12and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — ‘He is good;’ and others said, ‘No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;’
13no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.
14And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,
15and the Jews were wondering, saying, ‘How hath this one known letters — not having learned?’
16Jesus answered them and said, ‘My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;
17if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.
18‘He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;
19hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?’
20The multitude answered and said, ‘Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?’
21Jesus answered and said to them, ‘One work I did, and ye all wonder,
22because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;
23if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
24judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.’
25Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, ‘Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?
26and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
27but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.’
28Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, ‘Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;
29and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.’
30They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,
31and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — ‘The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?’
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;
33Jesus, therefore, said to them, ‘Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;
34ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.’
35The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, ‘Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;
36what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?’
37And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, ‘If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;
38he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;’
39and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
40Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, ‘This is truly the Prophet;’
41others said, ‘This is the Christ;’ and others said, ‘Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?
42Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?’
43A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.
44And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;
45the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, ‘Wherefore did ye not bring him?’
46The officers answered, ‘Never so spake man — as this man.’
47The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, ‘Have ye also been led astray?
48did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?
49but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.’
50Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,
51‘Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?’
52They answered and said to him, ‘Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;’
53and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.
