John 7

JUB

NIV

1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee, for he would not walk in Judea 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 feast of the Jews, <em>of</em> the tabernacles, was at hand.
2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart from this place and go into Judea 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 no one who seeks to be clearly known does anything in secret. If thou doest these things, show 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 not even his brethren believed 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 always 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 it hates me because I testify of it that its works 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 fulfilled.
8 You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9 And having said these things 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 he also went 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 <em>a</em> good <em>man</em>; others said, No, but he deceives 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 But no one spoke 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 does this man know 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 anyone desires to do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it is of God or <em>whether</em> 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 speaks of himself seeks his own glory, but he that seeks the glory of him 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 <em>yet</em> none of you keeps the law? Why do ye go 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 demon; who goes 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 receives circumcision without the law of Moses being broken, are ye angry at me because I have made a man entirely 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 <em>with</em> righteous judgment.
24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”
25 Then one of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26 But, behold, he speaks boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Have the rulers truly understood that this is indeed the Christ?
26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?
27 But we know where this man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one shall know where he is from.
27 But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye know me, and ye know from where I come, but I have not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,
29 But I know him, for I am from him, and he has sent me.
29 but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.”
30 Then they sought to take him, but no one laid hands on him because his hour was not yet come.
30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed in him and said, When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than these which this <em>man</em> has done?
31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the people that murmured such things concerning him, and the princes of the priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33 Then Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I shall be with you, and <em>then</em> I shall go unto him that sent me.
33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me and shall not find <em>me</em>, and where I shall be, ye shall not be able to come.
34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, Where will he go that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36 What <em>manner of</em> saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find <em>me</em>, and where I shall be ye shall not be able to come?
36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 In the last day, that great <em>day</em> of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If any man thirsts, let him come unto me and drink.
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.
38 He that believes in me, as the scripture has said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
38 Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
39 (But this he spoke concerning the Spirit, which those that believe on him should receive, for the Holy Spirit was not yet <em>given</em> because Jesus was not yet glorified.)
39 By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 Then many of the people, when they heard this word, said, Truly this is the Prophet.
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall the Christ come out of Galilee?
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?
42 Has not the scripture said, That the Christ comes of the seed of David and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?
42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
43 Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.
44 And some of them would have taken him, but no one laid hands on him.
44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
45 Then the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees came, and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 The officers answered, Never has anyone spoken like this man.
46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,” the guards replied.
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?
47 “You mean he has deceived you also?” the Pharisees retorted.
48 Have any of the princes or of the Pharisees believed on him?
48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49 But this people who do not know the law are cursed.
49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus said unto them (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them),
50 Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,
51 Does our law judge <em>any</em> man before it hears him and knows what he does?
51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and see, for a prophet has never arisen out of Galilee.
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”
53 And each <em>one</em> went unto his own house.
53 Then they all went home,
