योहन 7

1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.

3And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.

4For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.

5For neither did his brethren believe in him.

6Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.

7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.

8Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.

9When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.

10But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.

11The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?

12And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth the people.

13Yet no man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.

14Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

16Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

18He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.

19Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

20Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?

21Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:

22Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

23If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.

25Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

26And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?

27But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.

29I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.

30They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

31But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?

32The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.

33Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.

34You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.

35The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

36What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall not find me; and where I am, you cannot come?

37And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink.

38He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

40Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.

41Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

42Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?

43So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

44And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.

45The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

46The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.

47The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?

48Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

49But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.

50Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)

51Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?

52They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.

53And every man returned to his own house.

1Post hæc autem ambulabat Jesus in Galilæam: non enim volebat in Judæam ambulare, quia quærebant eum Judæi interficere.

2Erat autem in proximo dies festus Judæorum, Scenopegia.

3Dixerunt autem ad eum fratres ejus: Transi hinc, et vade in Judæam, ut et discipuli tui videant opera tua, quæ facis.

4Nemo quippe in occulto quid facit, et quærit ipse in palam esse: si hæc facis, manifesta teipsum mundo.

5Neque enim fratres ejus credebant in eum.

6Dicit ergo eis Jesus: Tempus meum nondum advenit: tempus autem vestrum semper est paratum.

7Non potest mundus odisse vos: me autem odit, quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo quod opera ejus mala sunt.

8Vos ascendite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascendo ad diem festum istum: quia meum tempus nondum impletum est.

9Hæc cum dixisset, ipse mansit in Galilæa.

10Ut autem ascenderunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascendit ad diem festum non manifeste, sed quasi in occulto.

11Judæi ergo quærebant eum in die festo, et dicebant: Ubi est ille?

12Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicebant: Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicebant: Non, sed seducit turbas.

13Nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Judæorum.

14Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat.

15Et mirabantur Judæi, dicentes: Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?

16Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit: Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me.

17Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.

18Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quærit; qui autem quærit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.

19Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem?

20Quid me quæritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit: Dæmonium habes: quis te quæret interficere?

21Respondit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini:

22propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem (non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.

23Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi: mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?

24Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate.

25Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interficere?

26et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?

27Sed hunc scimus unde sit: Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.

28Clamabat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens: Et me scitis, et unde sim scitis: et a meipso non veni, sed est verus qui misit me, quem vos nescitis.

29Ego scio eum: quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.

30Quærebant ergo eum apprehendere: et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venerat hora ejus.

31De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant: Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quæ hic facit?

32Audierunt pharisæi turbam murmurantem de illo hæc: et miserunt principes et pharisæi ministros ut apprehenderent eum.

33Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc modicum tempus vobiscum sum: et vado ad eum qui me misit.

34Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi ego sum, vos non potestis venire.

35Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad semetipsos: Quo hic iturus est, quia non inveniemus eum? numquid in dispersionem gentium iturus est, et docturus gentes?

36quis est hic sermo, quem dixit: Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi sum ego, vos non potestis venire?

37In novissimo autem die magno festivitatis stabat Jesus, et clamabat dicens: Si quis sitit, veniat ad me et bibat.

38Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquæ vivæ.

39Hoc autem dixit de Spiritu, quem accepturi erant credentes in eum: nondum enim erat Spiritus datus, quia Jesus nondum erat glorificatus.

40Ex illa ergo turba cum audissent hos sermones ejus, dicebant: Hic est vere propheta.

41Alii dicebant: Hic est Christus. Quidam autem dicebant: Numquid a Galilæa venit Christus?

42nonne Scriptura dicit: Quia ex semine David, et de Bethlehem castello, ubi erat David, venit Christus?

43Dissensio itaque facta est in turba propter eum.

44Quidam autem ex ipsis volebant apprehendere eum: sed nemo misit super eum manus.

45Venerunt ergo ministri ad pontifices et pharisæos. Et dixerunt eis illi: Quare non adduxistis illum?

46Responderunt ministri: Numquam sic locutus est homo, sicut hic homo.

47Responderunt ergo eis pharisæi: Numquid et vos seducti estis?

48numquid ex principibus aliquis credidit in eum, aut ex pharisæis?

49sed turba hæc, quæ non novit legem, maledicti sunt.

50Dixit Nicodemus ad eos, ille qui venit ad eum nocte, qui unus erat ex ipsis:

51Numquid lex nostra judicat hominem, nisi prius audierit ab ipso, et cognoverit quid faciat?

52Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et tu Galilæus es? scrutare Scripturas, et vide quia a Galilæa propheta non surgit.

53Et reversi sunt unusquisque in domum suam.

1Then, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee. For he was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.

2Now the feast day of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.

3And his brothers said to him: “Move away from here and go into Judea, so that your disciples there may also see your works that you do.

4Of course, no one does anything in secret, but he himself seeks to be in the public view. Since you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.”

5For neither did his brothers believe in him.

6Therefore, Jesus said to them: “My time has not yet come; but your time is always at hand.

7The world cannot hate you. But it hates me, because I offer testimony about it, that its works are evil.

8You may go up to this feast day. But I am not going up to this feast day, because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”

9When he had said these things, he himself remained in Galilee.

10But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret.

11Therefore, the Jews were seeking him on the feast day, and they were saying, “Where is he?”

12And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning him. For certain ones were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, for he seduces the crowds.”

13Yet no one was speaking openly about him, out of fear of the Jews.

14Then, about the middle of the feast, Jesus ascended into the temple, and he was teaching.

15And the Jews wondered, saying: “How does this one know letters, though he has not been taught?”

16Jesus responded to them and said: “My doctrine is not of me, but of him who sent me.

17If anyone has chosen to do his will, then he will realize, about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking from myself.

18Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and injustice is not in him.

19Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one among you keeps the law!

20Why are you seeking to kill me?” The crowd responded and said: “You must have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?”

21Jesus responded and said to them: “One work have I done, and you all wonder.

22For Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

23If a man can receive circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you indignant toward me, because I have made a man whole on the Sabbath?

24Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment.”

25Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem said: “Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill?

26And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?

27But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from.”

28Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

29I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me.”

30Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31But many among the crowd believed in him, and they were saying, “When the Christ arrives, will he perform more signs than this man does?”

32The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him. And the leaders and the Pharisees sent attendants to apprehend him.

33Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.

34You shall seek me, and you will not find me. And where I am, you are not able to go.”

35And so the Jews said among themselves: “Where is this place to which he will go, such that we will not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?

36What is this word that he spoke, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me; and where I am, you are not able to go?’ ”

37Then, on the last great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and crying out, saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink:

38whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, ‘From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”

39Now he said this about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would soon be receiving. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

40Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, “This one truly is the Prophet.”

41Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee?

42Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?”

43And so there arose a dissension among the multitude because of him.

44Now certain ones among them wanted to apprehend him, but no one laid hands upon him.

45Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?”

46The attendants responded, “Never has a man spoken like this man.”

47And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?

48Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?

49But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed.”

50Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,

51“Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?”

52They responded and said to him: “Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee.”

53And each one returned to his own house.
