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.

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