John 7

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 After this, Jesus went from place to place in Galilee. He did not go about in Judaea, because the Jews were looking for a chance to put him to death.

2 But the feast of the Jews, the feast of tents, was near.

3 So his brothers said to him, Go away from here into Judaea so that your disciples may see the works which you do.

4 Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

5 For even his brothers had no belief in him.

6 Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.

7 It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.

8 Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.

9 Having said these things to them, he still kept in Galilee.

10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.

11 At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, Where is he?

12 And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

13 But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.

14 Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.

15 Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

16 Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

17 If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

18 The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.

19 Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

20 The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

21 This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

22 Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

23 If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

24 Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.

25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

26 And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

27 However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

28 Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

29 I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

30 Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

31 And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

32 This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

33 Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.

34 You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.

35 So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

36 What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

37 On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

38 He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

39 This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

40 When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

41 Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

42 Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

43 So there was a division among the people because of him.

44 And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

45 Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

46 The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

47 Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

48 Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

49 But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

50 Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

51 Is a man judged by our law before it has given him a hearing and has knowledge of what he has done?

52 This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

Orthodox Jewish Bible OJB

1 And after these things Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach itinerated in the Galil, for he was not wanting to move about in Yehudah, because those of Yehudah were seeking to kill him.

2 Now the Chag of Sukkot was near. [VAYIKRA 23:34; DEVARIM 16:16]

3 His achim then said to him, Leave here and go away into the land of Yehudah, that also your talmidim will see your ma’asim which you do.

4 For no one who seeks public notice does anything besod (secretly). If these things you do, then manifest yourself to HaOlam.

5 For not even the achim of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach were believing in him. [TEHILLIM 69:8]

6 Therefore, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My sha’ah has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7 The Olam Hazeh is not capable of sin’ah (hatred) toward you, but the Olam Hazeh hates me, and for this reason: I give solemn edut (testimony) about it because the ma’asim of the Olam Hazeh are ra’'im (evil).

8 You make aliyah leregel up to the Chag (Feast). I am not going up to this Chag (Feast), because my time has not yet been fulfilled.

9 And having said these things, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach remained in the Galil.

10 But when the achim of him made aliyah leregel to the Chag (Feast), then also Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up [Yochanan 5:30] not publicly but besod (secretly).

11 Then those of Yehudah were seeking Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach in the Chag (Feast) and were saying, Where is that man?

12 And there was much telunnah (murmuring) about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach among the multitudes. Some were saying, He is tov (good), but others were saying, Lo (no), he deceives the multitude.

13 No one, however, was speaking openly about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach because of the fear of those of Yehudah.

14 But around the middle period of the Chag (Feast), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went up to the Beis Hamikdash and was saying shiurim (teaching torah).

15 Therefore, those of Yehudah were marveling, saying, How has this man binah (understanding) of a Yeshiva yode’a sefer (scholar), not having learned?

16 Therefore, in reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said, My Torah (teaching) is not mine but of the One having sent me.

17 If anyone wants to do the ratzon Hashem, he will have da’as about my Torah, whether it is of Hashem or I speak only from myself. [TEHILLIM 25:14; 92:16; BAMIDBAR 16:28]

18 The one speaking from himself seeks his own kavod (glory), but he who is seeking the kavod of the One having sent him, this one is ne’eman and there is no avlah (injustice) in him.

19 Has not Moshe given you the Torah? None of you is able to be shomer chukkat Torah. Why are you seeking to kill me? [DEVARIM 32:46; MISHLE 20:9; KOHELET 7:20; YESHAYAH 53:6]

20 The multitude said, You have a shed (demon). Who is seeking to kill you?

21 In reply, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to them, Of the Pe’ulot of Hashem, I accomplished echad, one pe’ulah, and everyone marvels.

22 Moshe has given you bris milah not that bris milah is of Moshe, but it is of the Avot, and on a Shabbos you perpetually perform bris milah. [BERESHIS 17:10-14; 21:4; VAYIKRA 12:3]

23 If a man receives bris milah on Shabbos and lo tufar Torat Moshe (the Torah of Moses may not be broken, BERESHIS 17:14) are you angry with me because I gave a man refu’ah shleimah on Shabbos?

24 Do not judge according to appearance but judge with mishpat tzedek. [ZECHARYAH 7:9; SHMUEL ALEF 16:7; YESHAYAH 11:3 4; VAYIKRA 19:15]

25 Therefore, some of the ones of Yerushalayim were saying, Is it not this man whom they are seeking to kill?

26 And, hinei, he speaks publicly and they say nothing to him. Perhaps the manhigim (the gedolim of Judaism) have da’as that this man is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach?

27 But this man, we have da’as where he is from; but the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, whenever he comes, no one has da’as where he is from.

28 Therefore, in the Beis Hamikdash while teaching, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out, saying, You have da’as of me, and you have da’as of where I am from. I have not come on my own, but the One Who sent me is ne’eman. He is the One of Whom you do not have da’as.

29 I have da’as of Him, because from Him Ani Hu, and He is the One Who sent me.

30 Therefore, they were seeking to arrest him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his sha’ah (hour, time) had not yet come.

31 From the multitude, however, many put their emunah, their bitachon, in him, and were saying, The Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, whenever he comes, surely he will not do more otot (miraculous signs) than the things which this man did?

32 The Perushim heard the telunnah (murmuring) of these things from the multitude, the talk about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, and they sent the Rashei Hakohanim and the mesharetim of the Perushim that they might arrest him.

33 Therefore, he said, Yet a little time I am with you and I go away to the One having sent me.

34 You will seek me and not find me and where Ani Hu you are not able to come.

35 Therefore, those of Yehudah said to themselves, Where is this man about to journey that we will not find him? Surely he is not about to sojourn to the Golus of the Yevanim (Greeks) to teach the Yevanim? [MISHLE 1:28]

36 What is this dvar which he said, You will seek me and will not find me and where Ani Hu, you are not able to come?

37 Now on the last day of the Chag, Hoshana Rabbah, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink. [Lv 23:36; Isa 55:1; 12:3; 49:10]

38 The one with emunah in me, as the Kitvei Hakodesh said, ‘Out of the midst of him, rivers of MAYIM CHAYYIM [Zech 14:8] will flow.’ [Prov 18:4; Isa 44:3; 58:11; 43:19f, Ezek 47:1-12; Joel 4:18; Song 4:15].

39 But this he said about the Ruach Hakodesh which the ones having emunah (faith) in him were about to receive, for the Ruach Hakodesh had not yet been given, because he had not yet received kavod. [YOEL 2:28 (3:1)]

40 Some of the multitude, therefore, having heard these dvarim were saying, This man is beemes the Navi.

41 Others were saying, This man is the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach. But some were saying, Surely the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach comes not from the Galil, does he?

42 Has not the Kitvei Hakodesh said that the Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach is from the zera Dovid and from Beit-Lechem, the shtetl where Dovid lived? [2Sm 7:12; Psa 89:3-4; Mic 5:1(2); Jer 23:5]

43 A machloket (controversy), therefore, occurred among the multitude because of Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.

44 And some of them were wanting to arrest him, but no one laid his hands on him.

45 Then the avadim of the Rashei Hakohanim and Perushim came and the Rashei Hakohanim and Perushim said to them, Why did you not bring him?

46 In reply, the avadim said, Never Ish spoke like this Ish.

47 In reply, therefore, the Perushim said, Surely not you also have been deceived?

48 Has any of the manhigim put their emunah (faith) in him, or any of the Perushim [T.N.but cf Yn 7:50; 19:39]?

49 But this am ha’aretz crowd has no da’as of Torah and is cursed. [DEVARIM 27:26]

50 Rav Nakdimon, the one having come to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach earlier, being one of their own, says to them,

51 Surely Torateinu (Our Torah) judges not the Man unless it hears first from the Man himself and has da’as of what he does, does it? [Dt 1:16; 17:6; Ex 23:1]

52 They answered and said to Rav Nakdimon, Surely not you also are from the Galil, are you? Search [the Kitvei Hakodesh] and see that from the Galil a Navi does not arise. [T.N. but cf 2Kgs 14:25; Isa 9:1,2]

53 And they went each one to his bais.
