John 7

Hebrew Names Version HNV

1 After these things, Yeshua walked in the Galil, for he would not walk in Yehudah, because the Yehudim sought to kill him.

2 Now the feast of the Yehudim, the Feast of Sukkot, was at hand.

3 His brothers therefore said to him, "Depart from here, and go into Yehudah, that your talmidim also may see your works which you do.

4 For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world."

5 For even his brothers didn't believe in him.

6 Yeshua therefore said to them, "My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

7 The world can't hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled."

9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in the Galil.

10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

11 The Yehudim therefore sought him at the feast, and said, "Where is he?"

12 There 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."

13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Yehudim.

14 But when it was now the midst of the feast, Yeshua went up into the temple and taught.

15 The Yehudim therefore marveled, saying, "How does this man know letters, having never been educated?"

16 Yeshua therefore answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I speak from myself.

18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19 Didn't Moshe give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?"

20 The multitude answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?"

21 Yeshua answered them, "I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.

22 Moshe has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moshe, but of the fathers), and on the Shabbat you circumcise a boy.

23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Shabbat, that the law of Moshe may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man every bit whole on the Shabbat?

24 Don't judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

25 Some therefore of them of Yerushalayim said, "Isn't this he whom they seek to kill?

26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?

27 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."

28 Yeshua 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.

29 I 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.

31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, "When the Messiah comes, will he do more signs than those which this man has done?"

32 The Perushim heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief Kohanim and the Perushim sent officers to arrest him.

33 Then Yeshua said, "Yet a little while, am I with you, then I go to him who sent me.

34 You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am, you can't come."

35 The Yehudim therefore said among themselves, "Where will this man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Diaspora among the Yevanim, and teach the Yevanim?

36 What 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, Yeshua stood and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!

38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water."

39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Ruach HaKodesh 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."

41 Others said, "This is the Messiah." But some said, "What, does the Messiah come out of the Galil?

42 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Messiah comes of the seed of David, and from Beit-Lechem, the village where David was?"

43 So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

45 The officers therefore came to the chief Kohanim and Perushim, and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"

46 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"

47 The Perushim therefore answered them, "Are you also led astray?

48 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Perushim?

49 But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."

50 Nakdimon (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

51 "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?"

52 They answered him, "Are you also from the Galil? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of the Galil."

53 Everyone went to his own house,

The Message Bible MSG

1 Later Jesus was going about his business in Galilee. He didn't want to travel in Judea because the Jews there were looking for a chance to kill him.

2 It was near the time of Tabernacles, a feast observed annually by the Jews.

3 His brothers said, "Why don't you leave here and go up to the Feast so your disciples can get a good look at the works you do?

4 No one who intends to be publicly known does everything behind the scenes. If you're serious about what you are doing, come out in the open and show the world."

5 His brothers were pushing him like this because they didn't believe in him either.

6 Jesus came back at them, "Don't crowd me. This isn't my time. It's your time - it's always your time; you have nothing to lose.

7 The world has nothing against you, but it's up in arms against me. It's against me because I expose the evil behind its pretensions.

8 You go ahead, go up to the Feast. Don't wait for me. I'm not ready. It's not the right time for me."

9 He said this and stayed on in Galilee.

10 But later, after his family had gone up to the Feast, he also went. But he kept out of the way, careful not to draw attention to himself.

11 The Jews were already out looking for him, asking around, "Where is that man?"

12 There was a lot of contentious talk about him circulating through the crowds. Some were saying, "He's a good man." But others said, "Not so. He's selling snake oil."

13 This kind of talk went on in guarded whispers because of the intimidating Jewish leaders.

14 With the Feast already half over, Jesus showed up in the Temple, teaching.

15 The Jews were impressed, but puzzled: "How does he know so much without being schooled?"

16 Jesus said, "I didn't make this up. What I teach comes from the One who sent me.

17 Anyone who wants to do his will can test this teaching and know whether it's from God or whether I'm making it up.

18 A person making things up tries to make himself look good. But someone trying to honor the one who sent him sticks to the facts and doesn't tamper with reality.

19 It was Moses, wasn't it, who gave you God's Law? But none of you are living it. So why are you trying to kill me?"

20 The crowd said, "You're crazy! Who's trying to kill you? You're demon-possessed."

21 Jesus said, "I did one miraculous thing a few months ago, and you're still standing around getting all upset, wondering what I'm up to.

22 Moses prescribed circumcision - originally it came not from Moses but from his ancestors - and so you circumcise a man, dealing with one part of his body, even if it's the Sabbath.

23 You do this in order to preserve one item in the Law of Moses. So why are you upset with me because I made a man's whole body well on the Sabbath?

24 Don't be nitpickers; use your head - and heart! - to discern what is right, to test what is authentically right."

25 That's when some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Isn't this the one they were out to kill?

26 And here he is out in the open, saying whatever he pleases, and no one is stopping him. Could it be that the rulers know that he is, in fact, the Messiah?

27 And yet we know where this man came from. The Messiah is going to come out of nowhere. Nobody is going to know where he comes from."

28 That provoked Jesus, who was teaching in the Temple, to cry out, "Yes, you think you know me and where I'm from, but that's not where I'm from. I didn't set myself up in business. My true origin is in the One who sent me, and you don't know him at all.

29 I come from him - that's how I know him. He sent me here."

30 They were looking for a way to arrest him, but not a hand was laid on him because it wasn't yet God's time.

31 Many from the crowd committed themselves in faith to him, saying, "Will the Messiah, when he comes, provide better or more convincing evidence than this?"

32 The Pharisees, alarmed at this seditious undertow going through the crowd, teamed up with the high priests and sent their police to arrest him.

33 Jesus rebuffed them: "I am with you only a short time. Then I go on to the One who sent me.

34 You will look for me, but you won't find me. Where I am, you can't come."

35 The Jews put their heads together. "Where do you think he is going that we won't be able to find him? Do you think he is about to travel to the Greek world to teach the Jews?

36 What is he talking about, anyway: 'You will look for me, but you won't find me,' and 'Where I am, you can't come'?"

37 On the final and climactic day of the Feast, Jesus took his stand. He cried out, "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.

38 Rivers of living water will brim and spill out of the depths of anyone who believes in me this way, just as the Scripture says."

39 (He said this in regard to the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were about to receive. The Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been glorified.)

40 Those in the crowd who heard these words were saying, "This has to be the Prophet."

41 Others said, "He is the Messiah!" But others were saying, "The Messiah doesn't come from Galilee, does he?

42 Don't the Scriptures tell us that the Messiah comes from David's line and from Bethlehem, David's village?"

43 So there was a split in the crowd over him.

44 Some went so far as wanting to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him.

45 That's when the Temple police reported back to the high priests and Pharisees, who demanded, "Why didn't you bring him with you?"

46 The police answered, "Have you heard the way he talks? We've never heard anyone speak like this man."

47 The Pharisees said, "Are you carried away like the rest of the rabble?

48 You don't see any of the leaders believing in him, do you? Or any from the Pharisees?

49 It's only this crowd, ignorant of God's Law, that is taken in by him - and damned."

50 Nicodemus, the man who had come to Jesus earlier and was both a ruler and a Pharisee, spoke up.

51 "Does our Law decide about a man's guilt without first listening to him and finding out what he is doing?"

52 But they cut him off. "Are you also campaigning for the Galilean?

53 Examine the evidence. See if any prophet ever comes from Galilee." Then they all went home.
