John Chapter 7

            7^:1And after these-things [the] Jesus was-walking in [the] Galilee, for he-did┘not└want to-walk in [the] Judaea, because the Jews were-trying to-put┘(him)└to-death. ² But the feast of-the Jews, the Feast-of-Booths, was near. ³ Then [the] brothers of-him said to him, “Leave from-here and go into [the] Judaea in-order-that the disciples of-you will┘also└see the works that you-are-doing, ⁴ for nobody does anything in secret and himself tries to-be in openness. If you-are-doing these-things, manifest yourself to-the world.” ⁵ For not-even the brothers of-him were-believing in him.

⁶ Then [the] Jesus says to-them, “[The] my [the] time is┘not-yet└here, but [the] your [the] time is always ready. ⁷ The world is┘not└able to-hate you, but it-hates me because I-testify about it that the works of-it are evil. ⁸ You go-up to the feast; I am┘not└going-up to [the] this feast, because [the] my time is┘not-yet└fulfilled.” ⁹ And having-said these-things, he remained in [the] Galilee. ¹⁰ And when the brothers of-him had-gone-up to the feast, then he also went-up, not openly, but as in secret. ¹¹ So the Jews were-looking-for him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”

            ¹² And (there) was much murmuring in the crowds about him. Some, on-the-one-hand, were-saying [that], “He-is (a) good (man),” but others were-saying, “No, to-the-contrary, he-deceives the common-people.” ¹³ Nobody, however, was-speaking openly about him on-account-of the fear of-the Jews.

            ¹⁴ And the feast already being-in-the-middle, Jesus went-up to the temple to-teach. ¹⁵ So the Jews were-marveling, saying, “How does┘this (man)└know letters, not having-learned?”

¹⁶ Then [the] Jesus answered and said,

“[The] my teaching is not mine, but of-the-One having-sent me. ¹⁷ If anybody wants to-do the will of-him, he-will-know about the teaching whether-it-is of [the] God or I-am-speaking from myself. ¹⁸ The-one speaking from himself seeks [the] his-own [the] glory; but the-one seeking the glory of-the-One having-sent him—this-One is true, and injustice is┘not└in him. ¹⁹ Did┘not Moses└give you the Law? And nobody of-you does the Law. Why are-you-trying to-kill me?”

²⁰ The crowd answered, “You-have (a) demon. Who is-trying to-kill you?”

²¹ Jesus answered and said to-them,

“I did one work and you┘all└marveled. ²² On-account-of this, Moses gave you [the] circumcision—not that it-is from [the] Moses, but from the fathers—and you-circumcise (a) man on (the) Sabbath. ²³ If (a) man receives circumcision on (the) Sabbath in-order-that he-will┘not└break the Law of-Moses, are-you-angry with-me because I-made (a) whole man healthy on (the) Sabbath? ²⁴ Do┘not└make-judgment according-to appearance, but judge [the] righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Then some of the Jerusalemites started-saying, “Is this not whom they-are-trying to-put-to-death? ²⁶ and, behold, he-is-speaking with-boldness, and they-are-saying nothing to-him? Do┘the rulers indeed└know perhaps that this-One is the Messiah? ²⁷ But we-know where┘this-One is└from. But when the Messiah comes nobody knows whence he-is.”

²⁸ Then Jesus shouted in the temple, teaching and saying, “You┘both^┘┘└know ^└└me, and you-know whence I am. And I-have┘not└come of myself, but the-One having-sent me is true, whom you do┘not└know. ²⁹ I know him because I-am from him, and that-One sent me.”

³⁰ Then they-were-trying to-arrest him, but nobody laid the/a hand on him, because the hour of-him had┘not-yet└come. ³¹ And many of the crowd believed in him and were-saying, “When the Messiah comes, he-will┘not^┘┘└do greater signs than-what this-One has-done, ^└└will-he?”

³² The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these-things about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in-order-that they-might-arrest him. ³³ Then [the] Jesus said, “Yet (a) short time I-am with you, and I-am-going-away to the-One having-sent me. ³⁴ You-will-seek me and not find [me]^ms, and where I am you are┘not└able to-come.”  

³⁵ Then the Jews said to one-another, “Where does┘this-One└intend to-go that we will┘not└find him? He-does┘not^┘┘└intend to-go to the Diaspora of-the Greeks and teach the Greeks, ^└└does-he? ³⁶ What is this [the] word that he-said, ‘You will-seek me and not find [me]^ms,’ and ‘Where I am you are┘not└able to-go.’”

³⁷ And on the last day, the great (day) of-the feast, [the] Jesus stood and shouted, saying, “If anybody is-thirsty, let-him-come to me and drink. ³⁸ The-one believing in me, as the scripture said, rivers of-living water will-flow out of-the stomach of-him.” ³⁹ And he-said this about the Spirit that the-ones having-believed in him would receive, for (the) Spirit was not-yet because Jesus was not-yet glorified.

⁴⁰ The out-of the crowd, having-heard these [the] words, they-began-to-say, “This is truly the prophet.”

⁴¹ Others were-saying, “This is the Messiah,” but the-(others), “For the Messiah does┘not^┘┘└ come out-of [the] Galilee, ^└└does-he? ⁴² Did┘not the scripture└say that out-of the seed of-David and from Bethlehem the village where David was the Messiah comes?” ⁴⁴ And some of them were-wanting to-arrest him, but nobody laid [the] hands on him.

⁴⁵ So the officers went to the chief priests and Pharisees; and those (men) said to-them, “On-account-of what did-you┘not└bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “Never did┘(a) man└speak thus.”

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, “You are┘not^┘┘└deceived too, ^└└are-you? ⁴⁸ Not^┘┘any of the rulers believed in him or of the Pharisees, ^└└have-they? ⁴⁹ But this [the] crowd the-one not knowing the Law is accursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them (the-one having-come to him [at-the] earlier, being one of them), ⁵¹ “The Law of-us does┘not^┘┘└condemn the/a man unless² it┘first└hears from him, and knows what he-is-doing, ^└└does-it?”

⁵² They-answered and said to-him, “You are not┘ from [the] Galilee too, └are-you? Search and see that out-of [the] Galilee (a) prophet does┘not└arise.” ⁵³ And they-went each-one to the house of-him.
