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.

1 After these things, Yeshua was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Judeans sought to kill him. 2Now the Jewish festival, the Feast of Sukkot, was at hand. 3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. 4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.” 5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
6Yeshua therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. 8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. 10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. 11The Judeans therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?” 12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.” 13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Judeans. 14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua went up into the temple and taught. 15The Judeans therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
16Yeshua therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself. 18He 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. 19Didn’t Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keeps the Torah? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21Yeshua answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it. 22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. 23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Torah of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath? 24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill? 26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah? 27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know. 29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?” 32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33 Then Yeshua said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. 34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
35 The Judeans therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast#7:37 Known today as Hoshana Rabbah., Yeshua stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! 38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.” 39But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Yeshua wasn’t yet glorified.
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the Prophet.” 41Others said, “This is the Messiah.” But some said, “What, does the Messiah come out of Galilee? 42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the offspring#7:42 or, seed of David, #2 Samuel 7:12 and from Bethlehem,#Micah 5:2 the village where David was?” 43So a division arose in the multitude because of him. 44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. 45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? 48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him? 49But this multitude that doesn’t know the Torah is cursed.”
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, 51“Does our Torah judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”#See Isaiah 9:1; Matthew 4:13-16
