John 7
English Standard Version
Jesus at the Feast of Booths
7 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because (A)the Jews[a] were seeking to kill him. 2 Now (B)the Jews' Feast of (C)Booths was at hand. 3 (D)So his brothers[b] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, (E)show yourself to the world.” 5 (F)For not even (G)his brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, (H)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but (I)it hates me because I testify about it that (J)its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not[c] going up to this feast, for (K)my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.
10 But after (L)his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 (M)The Jews (N)were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much (O)muttering about him among the people. (P)While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, (Q)he is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet (R)for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.
14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up (S)into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore (T)marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,[d] when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, (U)“My teaching is not mine, but his (V)who sent me. 17 (W)If anyone's will is to do God's[e] will, (X)he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I (Y)am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority (Z)seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 (AA)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. (AB)Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, (AC)“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did (AD)one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 (AE)Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but (AF)from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, (AG)are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 (AH)Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
Can This Be the Christ?
25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom (AI)they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, (AJ)speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that (AK)the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But (AL)we know (AM)where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, (AN)no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, (AO)as he taught in the temple, (AP)“You know me, and you know where I come from. But (AQ)I have not come of my own accord. (AR)He who sent me is true, (AS)and him you do not know. 29 (AT)I know him, for I come (AU)from him, and (AV)he sent me.” 30 (AW)So they were seeking to arrest him, but (AX)no one laid a hand on him, (AY)because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet (AZ)many of the people believed in him. They said, (BA)“When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd (BB)muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent (BC)officers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, (BD)“I will be with you a little longer, and then (BE)I am going to him who sent me. 34 (BF)You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” 35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? (BG)Does he intend to go to (BH)the Dispersion among (BI)the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, (BJ)‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?”
Rivers of Living Water
37 (BK)On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, (BL)“If anyone thirsts, let him (BM)come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, (BN)as[f] the Scripture has said, (BO)‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of (BP)living water.’” 39 Now (BQ)this he said about the Spirit, (BR)whom those who believed in him were to receive, (BS)for as yet the Spirit had not been (BT)given, (BU)because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Division Among the People
40 When they heard these words, (BV)some of the people said, “This really is (BW)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (BX)the Christ.” But some said, (BY)“Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes (BZ)from the offspring of David, and comes (CA)from Bethlehem, the village (CB)where David was?” 43 So there was (CC)a division among the people over him. 44 (CD)Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 (CE)The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The officers answered, (CF)“No one ever spoke like this man!” 47 The Pharisees answered them, (CG)“Have you also been deceived? 48 (CH)Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 (CI)Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 (CJ)“Does our law judge a man without first (CK)giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” 52 They replied, (CL)“Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that (CM)no prophet arises from Galilee.”

If ei you are doing poieō these houtos things , show phaneroō yourself seautou to the ho world kosmos.” 5 ( You see gar, not oude even · ho his autos brothers adelphos had confidence pisteuō in eis him autos.) 6 So oun Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho · ho “ My emos time kairos · ho has not oupō yet come pareimi, · ho but de your hymeteros time kairos · ho is eimi always pantote here hetoimos. 7 The ho world kosmos cannot ou dynamai hate miseō you hymeis, but de it hates miseō me egō because hoti I egō am bearing martyreō witness against peri it autos that hoti · ho its autos works ergon are eimi evil ponēros. 8 You go anabainō up to eis the ho festival heortē yourselves hymeis; I egō am not ou going anabainō up to eis · ho this houtos festival heortē, for hoti · ho my emos time kairos has not oupō yet fully come plēroō.” 9 Having said legō this houtos, · de he autos stayed menō behind in en · ho Galilee Galilaia.
10 However de, when hōs his autos brothers adelphos had gone anabainō up · ho to eis the ho festival heortē, then tote Jesus himself autos also kai went anabainō up , not ou openly phanerōs, but alla as hōs it were , in en private kryptos. 11 The ho Jews Ioudaios were looking zēteō for him autos at en the ho festival heortē, and kai saying legō, “ Where pou is eimi that ekeinos man ?” 12 And kai there was eimi a lot polys of secret gongysmos discussion about peri him autos among en the ho crowds ochlos; some ho were saying legō, “ He is eimi a good agathos man ,” but de others allos were saying legō, “ No ou, to the contrary alla, he is leading people ochlos astray planaō.” · ho 13 No oudeis one , however mentoi, was speaking laleō openly parrēsia about peri him autos for dia · ho fear phobos of the ho Jews Ioudaios.
14 About ēdē · de halfway through mesoō the ho festival heortē Jesus Iēsous went anabainō up to eis the ho temple hieron and kai began to teach didaskō. 15 The ho Jews Ioudaios were astonished thaumazō, and they asked legō, “ How pōs does oida this houtos man know oida the sacred letters gramma, having never mē studied manthanō?” 16 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, them autos, · ho · kai saying legō, · ho “ My emos teaching didachē is eimi not ou mine emos, but alla it comes from the ho one who sent pempō me egō. 17 If ean anyone tis is willing thelō to do poieō God’ s autos · ho will thelēma, he will know ginōskō about peri the ho teaching didachē, whether poteron it comes eimi from ek · ho God theos or ē whether I egō am speaking laleō on apo my emautou own authority. 18 The ho one who speaks laleō on apo his heautou own authority seeks zēteō · ho his own idios honor doxa; · ho but de the ho one who seeks zēteō the ho honor doxa of the ho one who sent pempō him autos is eimi truthful alēthēs, and kai in en him autos there is eimi nothing ou false adikia.
19 “ Has not ou Moses Mōysēs given didōmi you hymeis the ho law nomos? Yet kai not oudeis one of ek you hymeis keeps poieō the ho law nomos. Why tis are you trying zēteō to kill apokteinō me egō?” 20 The ho crowd ochlos answered apokrinomai, “ You have echō a demon daimonion! Who tis is trying zēteō to kill apokteinō you sy?” 21 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, · kai saying legō to them autos, “ I performed poieō one heis work ergon, and kai you are all pas astonished thaumazō. 22 For dia this houtos reason Moses Mōysēs gave didōmi you hymeis · ho circumcision peritomē— not ou that hoti it is eimi from ek · ho Moses Mōysēs, but alla from ek the ho patriarchs patēr— and kai you circumcise peritemnō a man anthrōpos on en the Sabbath sabbaton. 23 If ei a man anthrōpos receives lambanō circumcision peritomē on en the Sabbath sabbaton so hina that the ho law nomos of Moses Mōysēs may not mē be broken lyō, why are you angry cholaō with me egō because hoti I made poieō an entire holos man anthrōpos well hygiēs on en the Sabbath sabbaton? 24 Do not mē judge krinō according kata to appearance opsis, but alla judge krinō with ho proper dikaios judgment krisis.”
25 Then oun some tis of ek the ho people of Jerusalem Hierosolymitēs began to say legō, “ Is eimi not ou this houtos the man whom hos they are trying zēteō to kill apokteinō? 26 And kai look ide, he is speaking laleō boldly parrēsia and kai they are saying legō nothing oudeis to him autos.

32 The ho Pharisees Pharisaios heard akouō the ho crowd ochlos secretly discussing gongyzō these things houtos about peri Jesus autos, so kai the ho chief priests archiereus and kai Pharisees Pharisaios sent apostellō · ho temple hypēretēs guards to hina arrest piazō him autos. 33 Then oun Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho “ I will be eimi with meta you hymeis for a little mikros while chronos longer eti, and kai then I am going hypagō back to pros the ho one who sent pempō me egō. 34 You will look zēteō for me egō, but kai you will not ou find heuriskō me egō; and kai where hopou I egō am eimi, you hymeis cannot ou dynamai go erchomai.” 35 Then oun the ho Jews Ioudaios said legō to pros one heautou another , “ Where pou is this houtos man about mellō to go poreuō that hoti we hēmeis will not ou find heuriskō him autos? Surely he is mellō not mē going mellō to go poreuō to eis our ho people dispersed diaspora among the ho Greeks Hellēn and kai teach didaskō the ho Greeks Hellēn, is he ? 36 What tis can it mean eimi, · ho this houtos saying logos of his hos: ‘ You will look zēteō for me egō but kai you will not ou find heuriskō me egō,’ and kai ‘ Where hopou I egō am eimi you hymeis cannot ou dynamai go erchomai’?”
