ヨハネの福音書 7
Japanese Living Bible
仮庵の祭りでのイエス
7 このあと、イエスはガリラヤに行き、村から村を巡回されました。ユダヤ人の指導者たちが命をつけねらっていたので、ユダヤ以外の地に身を避けようと思われたからです。 2 そうこうするうち、ユダヤの年ごとの祭りである仮庵の祭り（収穫祭とも呼ばれる祭り）が近づきました。 3 イエスの弟たちは、祭りのためにユダヤへ行くよう、しきりにイエスに勧めました。「もっとたくさんの人が奇跡を見てくれる所へ行ったらどうですか。 4 こんな所でくすぶっていても有名にはなれないよ。兄さんがそんなに偉い人だったら、世間の人に証明してみせなくては」と、半ばあざけるように言いました。 5 弟たちでさえ、イエスを信じていなかったのです。 6 「今はまだ、その時ではありません。しかし、あなたたちはいつ行ってもいいのです。 7 世間の人に憎まれるはずもありませんから。しかし、わたしは憎まれています。彼らの痛いところを突くからです。 8 あなたたちだけで行きなさい。わたしは行く時が来たら行きますから。」 9 こう言って、イエスはガリラヤに残られました。
10 しかしイエスは、弟たちが出かけたあと、人目を避けてお出かけになったのです。 11 ユダヤ人の指導者たちは、祭りの間にイエスを見つけ出してやろうと思い、「だれかイエスを見かけた者はいないか」と、やっきになって尋ね回りました。 12 確かに、イエスのことはいろいろと話題になりました。「あの方はすばらしい方だ」とほめる者もいれば、「いや違う。とんだ詐欺師だ」と非難する者もいました。 13 しかし、指導者たちの目を恐れて、表立って語る者はだれもいませんでした。
14 祭りも半ばになったころ、イエスは宮へ行き、公然と教え始められました。 15 それを聞いたユダヤ人の指導者たちは驚いて、「この男は一度も学校で学んだことがないのに、どうしてこんなに深い知識を持っているのだろう」と言い合いました。 16 そこでイエスは言われました。「わたしの教えは、自分で考え出したことではありません。わたしをお遣わしになった神の教えなのです。 17 ほんとうに神の望まれるとおりのことをしようと思う人なら、わたしの教えが神から出たものか、あるいはわたしから出たものか、はっきりわかるはずです。 18 自分の意見だけをまくし立てる人は、実はわが身がほめられたい一心なのです。しかし自分をお遣わしになった方の栄誉を求める人は、正直者です。 19 あなたがたは、自分ではモーセの律法を守らないのに、どうして律法を破ったと、わたしを非難するのですか。どうして命までつけねらうのですか。」 20 群衆が答えました。「おい、気でも変になったんじゃないか。だれがあんたを殺そうとしているんだ。」 21-23 「あなたがたは、わたしが安息日に病気の人を治したら、労働をしたと驚いています。だが、あなたがたはどうでしょうか。モーセの律法どおりに割礼（男子が生まれて八日目に、その性器の包皮を切り取るユダヤ教の儀式）を施すためには〔実際は、割礼の習慣はモーセの律法より古くからあったのですが〕、安息日でも平気で労働するではありませんか。割礼の日がちょうど安息日にあたっても、割礼を施しているではありませんか。それなら、安息日に病人を元気にしてやって、どこが悪いのでしょう。何を根拠にわたしを非難するのですか。 24 よく考えてみなさい。わたしの言うことはまちがっているでしょうか。」
25 エルサレムの人々の間では、互いにこんなことが言い交わされていました。「この人は、彼らが殺そうとねらっている人じゃないか。 26 ところが、今ここで、おおっぴらに話をしてるっていうのに、だれも何も言わないのだ。指導者たちも、結局は正真正銘のキリスト（救い主）だと認めているのかね。 27 だけど、この人がキリストのわけはないよ。どこの生まれか、身元が知れているんだから。キリストは、どこからともなく突然現れるはずだからね。」 28 イエスは宮で、大声をあげて教えられました。「皆さん。確かに、わたしの生まれも育ちもはっきりしています。しかしわたしは、あなたがたの全く知らない方の代理なのです。その方は真実です。 29 わたしはその方を知っています。その方といっしょにいたのですから。その方がわたしをお遣わしになったのです。」 30 ユダヤ人の指導者たちは、何とかしてイエスを逮捕しようと思いました。しかし、実際に手を出す者は一人もいません。まだその時ではなかったからです。 31 宮にいた人々の多くはイエスを信じ、「これだけの奇跡をなさるからには、やっぱりキリストではないだろうか」と言い合いました。
32 群衆がそう考えていると知ったパリサイ人たちは、祭司長たちと手を組んで、イエスを逮捕するために役人を差し向けました。 33 ところがイエスは、その人たちに言われました。「まだその時ではありません。もうしばらく、わたしはここにいます。そのあとでわたしは、わたしをお遣わしになった方のところに帰るのです。 34 その時には、わたしを捜しても見つけることはできません。また、わたしのいる所に来ることもできません。」 35 このことばに、ユダヤ人の指導者たちはすっかり戸惑いました。「いったいどこへ行くつもりだろう。もしかしたら、ユダヤを出て、外国のユダヤ人や、あるいは外国人に教えを伝えようとでも考えているのかもしれない。 36 だが、捜しても見つけ出せないとは、どういうことだろう。『わたしのいる所に来ることができない』というのも、何のことやらまるで見当もつかない。」
37 祭りの最後の一番大切な日に、イエスは大声で群衆に語りかけました。「だれでも、渇いているなら、わたしのところへ来て飲みなさい。 38 わたしを信じれば、心の奥底からいのちの水の川が流れ出ると、聖書に語られているとおりです。」 39 〔イエスは聖霊のことを言われたのです。聖霊は、イエスを信じる人すべてに与えられることになっていましたが、この時はまだ与えられていませんでした。イエスが天にある栄光の座に戻っておられなかったからです。〕 40 イエスがこう言うのを聞いて、群衆のうちのある者は、「この人は確かに、キリストのすぐ前に来るという、あの預言者だ」と言いました。 41-42 「この方こそキリストだ」と言いきる者もいました。しかし他方では、「いや、そんなはずはない。まさかガリラヤみたいな所からキリストは出ないだろう。キリストは、れっきとしたダビデ王の血筋で、ダビデ王の生地ベツレヘムの村に生まれると、聖書にはっきり書いてあるんだから」と主張する者もいました。 43 このように、イエスについての意見はまちまちでした。 44 中には、捕らえる機会をねらう者もいましたが、手を出すまでには至りませんでした。
45 イエスの逮捕に向かった宮の役人たちは、すごすごと祭司長やパリサイ人たちのところに戻ってきました。「どうして、やつをつかまえて来なかったのか！」指導者たちは、彼らをきびしく責めました。 46 役人たちは、口ごもりながら答えました。「は、はい。でも、あの人の話すことはとてもすばらしくて、これまで聞いたこともないような話なので……。」 47 これを聞くと、パリサイ人たちは吐き捨てるように言いました。「さては、おまえたちも惑わされたな。 48 われわれユダヤ人の議員やパリサイ人の中で、あの男をメシヤだなどと信じている者は一人もいない。 49 無知な連中は頭から信じきっているかもしれないが、やつらに何がわかるか。罰あたり者めが。」 50 その時、ニコデモが口を開きました。〔夜ひそかにイエスを訪ねた、あのユダヤ人の指導者です。〕 51 「おことばですが、取り調べもしないうちに有罪だと決めるのは、合法的ではありません。」 52 「おや、あなたも卑しいガリラヤ人なんですか。まあ、聖書を調べることですな。ガリラヤから預言者など出るはずがないことを、ご自分の目で確かめたらどうです。」
53 こうして、一同は散会し、めいめい家に帰って行きました。

Haitian Creole Version
7 ¶ Apre sa, Jezi t'ap mache toupatou nan peyi Galile, li pa t' vle ale nan peyi Jide menm, paske jwif yo t'ap chache touye li.
2 Jou fèt Joupa jwif yo te pre rive.
3 Frè Jezi yo di l' konsa: Pa rete bò isit la. Ale nan Jide non. Konsa, disip ou yo va wè travay w'ap fè.
4 Yon moun ki vle pou tout moun konnen l' pa dwe travay an kachèt. Avèk travay w'ap fè a, se pou ou kite tout moun wè ou.
5 (Men, frè l' yo pa t' kwè nan li.)
6 Jezi di yo konsa: Lè pa m' lan poko sonnen. Pou nou, tout lè yo bon.
7 Moun k'ap viv dapre prensip ki nan lemonn pa ka rayi nou. Men, mwen menm yo rayi m' paske mwen di sa y'ap fè a pa bon.
8 Nou mèt al nan fèt la. Mwen menm, mwen pa prale. Paske, lè pa m' lan poko rive.
9 Apre li fin di yo sa, li rete rete l' nan peyi Galile.
10 Apre frè l' yo fin pati al nan fèt la, Jezi ale tou, men an kachèt. Li pa t' kite pesonn wè li.
11 Jwif yo menm t'ap chache l' pandan tout fèt la. Yo t'ap di: Kote l' ye konsa?
12 Nan tout foul moun yo, yo t'ap pale nan zòrèy sou li anpil. Gen moun ki t'ap di: Se yon nonm debyen wi. Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Non, se pete l'ap pete moun.
13 Men, pesonn pa t' nonmen non l' fò pou lòt moun pa t' tande, sitèlman yo te pè jwif yo.
14 ¶ Te rete kat jou ankò pou fèt la te fini, lè Jezi al nan tanp lan. Li kòmanse pale.
15 Jwif yo pa t' manke sezi. Yo t'ap di: Ki jan nonm sa a fè konnen tout bagay sa yo? Li pa janm al lekòl.
16 Jezi reponn yo: Bagay m'ap moutre nou la a, se pa nan mwen yo soti. Yo soti nan Bondye ki voye m' lan.
17 Si yon moun deside fè sa Bondye vle, la konnen si bagay m'ap moutre yo soti nan Bondye osinon si se pawòl pa m' m'ap pale.
18 Yon moun k'ap pale pawòl pa l', se chache l'ap chache fè lwanj tèt li. Men, moun k'ap travay pou sa sèvi yon lwanj pou moun ki voye l' la, se verite a pou l' di. Pa gen riz nan li.
19 Moyiz te ban nou Lalwa a, pa vre? Men, nou yonn pa obeyi Lalwa. Poukisa n'ap chache touye mwen?
20 Foul moun yo reponn li: Gen lè ou gen yon move lespri sou ou? Ki moun k'ap chache touye ou la a?
21 Jezi reponn yo: Mwen fè yon sèl bagay, epi nou tout nou sezi pou sa!
22 Moyiz ban nou lòd pou nou sikonsi tout ti gason, epi nou dakò pou yo sikonsi yon moun gwo jou repo a. (Men, kite m' di nou: se pa t' Moyiz ki te kòmanse ak sikonsizyon an non, se te zansèt nou yo.)
23 Si nou ka sikonsi yon ti gason jou repo a pou n' ka fè sa Lalwa Moyiz la mande a, pa gen rezon pou n' ankòlè sou mwen si m' geri yon moun ki te malad nan tout kò l', yon jou repo.
24 Pa jije sou laparans. Jije dapre sa ki dwat.
25 Lè sa a, te gen kèk moun Jerizalèm ki t'ap di: Apa nonm y'ap chache touye a?
26 Gade l'ap pale lib devan tout moun, yo pa di l' anyen. Gen lè chèf nou yo rekonèt se Kris la vre li ye!
27 Men, yo toujou di lè Kris la va rive, pesonn p'ap konnen ki bò l' soti. Men nonm sa a, nou konnen ki bò l' soti.
28 Jezi t'ap moutre moun yo anpil bagay nan tanp lan. Li di yo byen fò: Nou rekonèt mwen? Nou konnen ki bò m' soti? Se pa mwen ki fè lide pou m' vini non. Moun ki voye m' lan, li la tout bon. Men, nou pa konnen li.
29 Mwen menm, mwen konnen l', paske se bò kote l' mwen soti. Se li menm ki voye mwen.
30 Lè sa a, yo t'ap chache arete l', men pesonn pa t' mete men sou li paske lè l' pa t' ankò rive.
31 Atousa, te gen anpil moun nan foul pèp la ki te kwè nan li. Yo t'ap di: Lè Kris la va vini, èske la fè plis mirak pase nonm sa a?
32 Farizyen yo vin konnen sa yo t'ap di nan zòrèy sou Jezi nan pèp la. Chèf prèt yo ansanm ak farizyen yo voye kèk gad pou arete Jezi.
33 Jezi di konsa: Se pou yon ti tan ankò mwen la ak nou. Apre sa, mwen pral jwenn moun ki voye m' lan.
34 N'a chache m', men nou p'ap jwenn mwen, paske nou p'ap ka vini kote m' prale a.
35 Jwif yo yonn t'ap mande lòt: Ki bò l' prale menm pou nou pa kapab jwenn li? Eske li pral menm kote ak jwif ki gaye nan mitan moun Lagrès yo pou l' moutre moun Lagrès yo anpil bagay?
36 L'ap plede di: N'a chache m', men nou p'ap jwenn mwen. Nou pa ka vini kote mwen prale a. Kisa sa vle di menm?
37 ¶ Dènye jou fèt la, se li ki te pi enpòtan. Jou sa a, Jezi kanpe devan foul moun yo, li di yo byen fò: Si yon moun swaf dlo, li mèt vin jwenn mwen, li mèt vin bwè.
38 Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan mwen, y'ap wè gwo kouran dlo k'ap bay lavi koule soti nan kè yo, jan sa ekri nan Liv la.
39 (Jezi t'ap pale ki jan moun ki kwè nan li yo tapral resevwa Sentespri. Lè sa a, Sentespri pa t' ankò desann sou pesonn, paske Jezi pa t' ankò moute nan syèl la.)
40 Te gen kèk moun nan foul pèp la, lè yo fin tande pawòl sa yo, yo t'ap di konsa: Se vre wi. Nonm sa a, se pwofèt la!
41 Gen lòt ki t'ap di: Se Kris la. Gen lòt ankò ki t'ap di: Men, Kris la pa ka soti nan peyi Galile.
42 Liv la di: Kris la, se yon pitit pitit David la ye. Se Betleyèm li gen pou l' soti, lavil kote David te pase tout lavi li a.
43 Te vin gen divizyon nan mitan foul moun yo poutèt Jezi.
44 Gen ladan yo ki te vle arete l', men pesonn pa t' mete men sou li.
45 ¶ Lè gad yo tounen vin jwenn yo, chèf prèt yo ak farizyen yo mande yo: Poukisa nou pa mennen l' ban nou?
46 Gad yo reponn: Nou poko janm wè yon nonm ki pale tankou nonm sa a.
47 Farizyen yo di: Gen lè nou kite l' pran tèt nou tou?
48 Eske nou wè gen yon sèl nan chèf nou yo osinon nan farizyen yo ki kwè nan li?
49 Moun sa yo gen lè pa konn lalwa Moyiz la. Se moun ki gen madichon!
50 Nikodèm te yonn nan farizyen ki te la yo. Se menm Nikodèm sa a ki te al wè Jezi kèk jou pase. Li di yo konsa:
51 Dapre Lalwa nou, nou pa ka jije yon moun san nou pa tande l' anvan, san nou pa konnen sa l' fè.
52 Yo reponn li: Gen lè, ou menm tou, ou se moun Galile? Al etidye sa ki ekri nan Liv la, wa wè pa gen pwofèt ki janm soti nan peyi Galile.
53 Apre sa, tout moun al lakay yo.
John 7
King James Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
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.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews 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?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
John 7
New King James Version
Jesus’ Brothers Disbelieve
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, (A)because the [a]Jews sought to kill Him. 2 (B)Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 (C)His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For (D)even His (E)brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Then Jesus said to them, (F)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 (G)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me (H)because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not [b]yet going up to this feast, (I)for My time has not yet fully come.” 9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
The Heavenly Scholar
10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then (J)the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12 And (K)there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. (L)Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly of Him (M)for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and (N)taught. 15 (O)And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 [c]Jesus answered them and said, (P)“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 (Q)If 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. 18 (R)He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who (S)seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and (T)no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 (U)Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? (V)Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The people answered and said, (W)“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 (X)Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, (Y)but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because (Z)I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 (AA)Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Could This Be the Christ?
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to (AB)kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. (AC)Do the rulers know indeed that this is [d]truly the Christ? 27 (AD)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, (AE)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and (AF)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me (AG)is true, (AH)whom you do not know. 29 [e]But (AI)I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore (AJ)they sought to take Him; but (AK)no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And (AL)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
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then Jesus said [f]to them, (AM)“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I (AN)go to Him who sent Me. 34 You (AO)will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you (AP)cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to (AQ)the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What 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
37 (AR)On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, (AS)“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 (AT)He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, (AU)out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 (AV)But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those [g]believing in Him would receive; for the [h]Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet (AW)glorified.
Who Is He?
40 Therefore [i]many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is (AX)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (AY)the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 (AZ)Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, (BA)where David was?” 43 So (BB)there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now (BC)some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Rejected by the Authorities
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”
46 The officers answered, (BD)“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus (BE)(he who came to [j]Jesus [k]by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 (BF)“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for (BG)no prophet [l]has arisen out of Galilee.”
An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World
53 [m]And everyone went to his own house.
