John 7:1-24

KJV

NIV

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.
2 Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was at hand.
2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
3 Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them,My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
15 The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”
16 Jesus answered them, and said,My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
20 “You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus answered and said unto them,I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”
