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.

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