Yoḥanan (John) 7

1And after this יהושע was walking in Galil, for He did not wish to walk in Yehuḏah, because the Yehuḏim were seeking to kill Him.
2And the festival of the Yehuḏim was near, the Festival of Sukkot.#Booths.
3So His brothers said to Him, ‘Get away from here and go into Yehuḏah, so that Your taught ones also see the works that You are doing.
4For no one acts in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these works, show Yourself to the world.
5For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
6יהושע therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7“It is impossible for the world to hate you, but it hates Me because I bear witness of it, that its works are wicked.
8“You go up to this festival. I am not yet going up to this festival, for My time has not yet been filled.”
9And having said this to them, He stayed in Galil.
10But when His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11The Yehuḏim, therefore, were seeking Him at the festival, and said, “Where is He?”
12And there was much grumbling about Him among the crowd. Some were saying, “He is good,” but others were saying, “No, but He is leading the crowd astray.”
13However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Yehuḏim.
14And about the middle of the festival יהושע went up into the Set-apart Place, and He was teaching.
15And the Yehuḏim were marvelling, saying, “How does this Man know letters, not having learned?”
16יהושע answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.#יהושע says this in seven places in the Book of John: John 3:34; John 7:16; John 8:28; John 8:40; John 12:49; John 14:24; John 17:8. See also Deu. 18:15-20
17If anyone desires to do His desire, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is from Elohim, or whether I speak from Myself.
18“He who speaks from himself is seeking his own esteem, but He who seeks the esteem of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
19“Did not Mosheh give you the Torah? Yet not one of you does the Torah!#See Mat. 5:20 Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20The crowd answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
21יהושע answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.
22“Because of this Mosheh has given you the circumcision – though it is not from Mosheh, but from the fathers – and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Torah of Mosheh should not be broken, are you wroth with Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?”
24Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
25Therefore some of them from Yerushalayim said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
26“And see! He speaks boldly, and they say none at all to Him. Could it be that the rulers truly know that this is truly the Messiah?
27“But we know where this One is from. And when the Messiah comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28יהושע therefore cried out in the Set-apart Place, teaching and saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from. And I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29But I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.
30So they were seeking to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31And many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, “When the Messiah comes, shall He do more signs than these which this One did?”
32The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these matters concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to seize Him.
33Therefore יהושע said to them, “Yet a little while I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.
34You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come.”
35The Yehuḏim, therefore, said to themselves, “Where is He about to go that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
36What is this word which He said, ‘You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come’?”
37And on the last day, the great day of the festival, יהושע stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me, and let him who believes in Me drink.
38“As the Scripture said, out of His innermost shall flow rivers of living water.”#See Isa. 44:3; Jer. 2:13; Jer. 17:13; Zech. 14:8; Psa. 36:8, 9; Pro. 14:27; John 4:10; John 6:33; 1Cor. 10:4; Rev. 7:17; Rev. 21:6; Rev. 22:1; Rev. 22:17
39And this He said concerning the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive, for the Set-apart Spirit was not yet given,#See Eze. 36:26, 27; Joel 2:28-32; Acts 1:4-8; Acts.2.4; Acts 2:33; Acts 10:44-47; Acts 11:15, 16; Eph. 5:18 because יהושע was not yet esteemed.
40Many from the crowd, when they heard the word, then said, “This truly is the Prophet.”
41Others said, “This is the Messiah,” but others said, “Does the Messiah then come out of Galil?
42“Did not the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from the seed of Dawiḏ#See 2Sam. 7:12; Psa. 89:4 and from the village of Bĕyth Leḥem,#See Mic. 5:2 where Dawiḏ was?”
43So a division came about among the people because of Him.
44And some of them wished to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
46The officers answered, “Never has any man spoken like this Man!”
47The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
48“Has anyone of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in Him?
49“But this crowd that does not know the Torah is accursed.”
50Naḵdimon – he who came to יהושע by night, being one of them – said to them,
51Does our Torah judge the man unless it hears first from him and knows what he is doing?
52They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galil? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galil.”
53And each one went to his own house.

1 Then, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee. For he was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
2 Now the feast day of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
3 And his brothers said to him: "Move away from here and go into Judea, so that your disciples there may also see your works that you do.
4 Of course, no one does anything in secret, but he himself seeks to be in the public view. Since you do these things, manifest yourself to the world."
5 For neither did his brothers believe in him.
6 Therefore, Jesus said to them: "My time has not yet come; but your time is always at hand.
7 The world cannot hate you. But it hates me, because I offer testimony about it, that its works are evil.
8 You may go up to this feast day. But I am not going up to this feast day, because my time has not yet been fulfilled."
9 When he had said these things, he himself remained in Galilee.
10 But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret.
11 Therefore, the Jews were seeking him on the feast day, and they were saying, "Where is he?"
12 And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning him. For certain ones were saying, "He is good." But others were saying, "No, for he seduces the crowds."
13 Yet no one was speaking openly about him, out of fear of the Jews.
14 Then, about the middle of the feast, Jesus ascended into the temple, and he was teaching.
15 And the Jews wondered, saying: "How does this one know letters, though he has not been taught?"
16 Jesus responded to them and said: "My doctrine is not of me, but of him who sent me.
17 If anyone has chosen to do his will, then he will realize, about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking from myself.
18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and injustice is not in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one among you keeps the law!
20 Why are you seeking to kill me?" The crowd responded and said: "You must have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?"
21 Jesus responded and said to them: "One work have I done, and you all wonder.
22 For Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23 If a man can receive circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you indignant toward me, because I have made a man whole on the Sabbath?
24 Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment."
25 Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem said: "Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
26 And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?
27 But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from."
28 Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: "You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
29 I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me."
30 Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 But many among the crowd believed in him, and they were saying, "When the Christ arrives, will he perform more signs than this man does?"
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him. And the leaders and the Pharisees sent attendants to apprehend him.
33 Therefore, Jesus said to them: "For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.
34 You shall seek me, and you will not find me. And where I am, you are not able to go."
35 And so the Jews said among themselves: "Where is this place to which he will go, such that we will not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?
36 What is this word that he spoke, 'You will seek me and you will not find me; and where I am, you are not able to go?' "
37 Then, on the last great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and crying out, saying: "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink:
38 whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, 'From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.' "
39 Now he said this about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would soon be receiving. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, "This one truly is the Prophet."
41 Others were saying, "He is the Christ." Yet certain ones were saying: "Does the Christ come from Galilee?
42 Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?"
43 And so there arose a dissension among the multitude because of him.
44 Now certain ones among them wanted to apprehended him, but no one laid hands upon him.
45 Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, "Why have you not brought him?"
46 The attendants responded, "Never has a man spoken like this man."
47 And so the Pharisees answered them: "Have you also been seduced?
48 Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed."
50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,
51 "Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?"
52 They responded and said to him: "Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee."
53 And each one returned to his own house.
