And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

2 N ow the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand.

and the feast of the Jews was nigh -- that of tabernacles --

3 H is brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing.

his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

4 F or no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.”

for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things -- manifest thyself to the world;'

5 F or even His brothers did not believe in Him.

for not even were his brethren believing in him.

6 T hen Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

7 T he world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil.

the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

8 Y ou go up to this feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, for My time has not yet fully come.”

Ye -- go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;'

9 W hen He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee. The Heavenly Scholar

and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

10 B ut when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

11 T hen the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?”

the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?'

12 A nd there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.”

and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said -- `He is good;' and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;'

13 H owever, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

14 N ow about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

15 A nd the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”

and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters -- not having learned?'

16 J esus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

17 I f anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or -- I do speak from myself.

18 H e who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

19 D id not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”

hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'

20 T he people answered and said, “You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”

The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'

21 J esus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.

Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

22 M oses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

23 I f a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

24 D o not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.” Could This Be the Christ?

Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

26 B ut look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?

and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

27 H owever, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”

but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

28 T hen Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

29 B ut I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'

30 T herefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

31 A nd many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?” Jesus and the Religious Leaders

34 Y ou will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come.”

ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.'

35 T hen the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?

The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? -- to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

36 W hat is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’ ?” The Promise of the Holy Spirit

what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?'

37 O n the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.

And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

38 H e who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”

he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;'

39 B ut this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Who Is He?

and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;'

41 O thers said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee?

others said, `This is the Christ;' and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

42 H as not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, where David was?”

Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem -- the village where David was -- the Christ doth come?'

43 S o there was a division among the people because of Him.

A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

44 N ow some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him. Rejected by the Authorities

And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

45 T hen the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”

46 T he officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this Man!”

The officers answered, `Never so spake man -- as this man.'

47 T hen the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived?

The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

Nicodemus saith unto them -- he who came by night unto him -- being one of them,

51 “ Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”

`Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?'

52 T hey answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World

They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;'

53 A nd everyone went to his own house.

and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.
