約 翰 福 音 7
Chinese New Testament: Easy-to-Read Version
耶稣和他的兄弟们
7 此后,耶稣在加利利周游,他不想去犹太,因为犹太人想杀害他。 2 当时,犹太人的住棚节 [a]快到了, 3 所以,耶稣的兄弟对他说∶“你应该离开这儿去犹太,以便让你的门徒看到你所行的神迹, 4 一个人如果想让自己被众所周知,就不在暗中做事。你即然在做这些事,就在世人面前表现出来吧。” 5 (甚至连耶稣的兄弟们也不信仰他。) 6 耶稣对他们说∶“我的时刻还没有到,但是对你们随时都合适。 7 世人不会恨你们,但却恨我,因为我不停地告诉世人,他们的行为是邪恶的。 8 你们去过住棚节吧,我现在不去,因为我的时刻还没到。” 9 耶稣说完这番话后,继续留在了加利利。
10 他的兄弟去过住棚节了,耶稣也去了,不过不是公开去的,而是秘密去的。 11 犹太首领在节日里到处寻找他,打听说∶“那人在哪里呢?”
12 人们私下对耶稣议论纷纷,有人说∶“他是好人。”也有人说∶“根本不是,他迷惑群众。” 13 不过,没有人敢公开议论他,因为他们都害怕犹太首领。
耶稣在耶路撒冷教导人们
14 节日过了一半时,耶稣来到大殿院开始教导人们。 15 犹太首领都很吃惊,说∶“这人从未上过学,怎么会知道这么多事情呢?”
16 耶稣回答他们说∶“我教导的不是我自己的教导,而是来自于派遣我的上帝。 17 一个人如果想执行上帝的意旨,他就会明白我的教导是出自上帝还是出自我自己。 18 凭自己讲话的人,企图为自己获得荣耀;但是,要把荣耀带给派遣他来的那位的人-是可信的,他心中没有丝毫虚假。 19 难道摩西没有把律法 [b]颁布给你们吗?可是你们谁也不遵守它。你们为什么想杀害我呢?”
20 人群回答道∶“你一定是被鬼附身了!谁想要杀害你呢?”
21 耶稣回答说∶“我不过显示了一个奇迹,你们就感到惊讶。 22 摩西出于同样的目的,给了你们有关割礼的律法,(其实割礼是你们的祖先传下来的,而不是摩西传下来的。)你们就在安息日为婴儿施行割礼! 23 既然一个人能在安息日受割礼,以便不违反摩西律法,那么我在安息日治好一个人的整个身体,为什么你们就对我感到愤怒呢? 24 不要以外表来评判,而要做出公正的评判。”
人们猜测耶稣是基督吗?
25 一些耶路撒冷人开始议论说∶“这不是他们想要杀的那个人吗? 26 看,他在大庭广众之下演讲,他们对他却一言不发。也许首领们的确知道他是基督呢? 27 不过,我们知道这人是从哪儿来的;当基督来临的时候,没有人知道他从哪儿来。”
28 这时,耶稣还在大殿院里教导,他高声说∶“你们认识我,也知道我从哪里来,我不是自己到这里来的,派遣我来的那位(上帝)是真实的。你们不认识他, 29 但我认识他,因为我是从他那里来的,是他派我来的。”
30 听到这里,他们想要逮捕耶稣,可是却没有下手,因为他的时刻还没有到呢。不过,还是有很多人信仰了他, 31 他们说∶“就是基督来了,也不会比这个人显示更多的奇迹,不是吗?”
犹太首领企图逮捕耶稣
32 法利赛人听到人们私下对耶稣的议论,祭司长和法利赛人便派大殿的卫兵去逮捕他。耶稣说: 33 “我和你们在一起的时间非常短暂了,然后我就要回到派我来的那位那里去。 34 你们会寻找我,但是却找不到我,因为我去的地方,你们不能去。”
35 犹太人互相议论道∶“他要到哪里去能让我们找不到呢?他是不是到散居在非犹太人城市里的犹太侨民那里,去教导非犹太人呢? 36 他说∶‘你们将会寻找我,但是却找不到我,因为我去的地方,你们不能去。’这话是什么意思呢?”
耶稣谈圣灵
37 节日的最后一天,也是最重要的一天,耶稣站起来高声说∶“如果有人渴了,就到我这里来喝水吧, 38 就像《经》上所说的那样,信仰我的人,活水的河流就会从他内心源源流出。” 39 耶稣这话是指那些信仰他的人,以后会领受到圣灵。当时圣灵还没赐给人们,因为耶稣还没有得到荣耀。
人们针对耶稣的争论
40 听了这些话,人群中的一些人开始议论说∶“这人真的是先知。”
41 另外一些人说∶“这人是基督。”
还有一些人说∶“基督怎么会来自加利利呢? 42 《经》上不是说基督是大卫的后裔,来自于大卫住过的伯利恒吗?” 43 由于耶稣,人们发生了分歧。 44 有些人想逮捕耶稣,但却没有人动手。
犹太首领拒不相信
45 于是,大殿的卫兵回到祭司长和法利赛人那里去了,他们问卫兵∶“你们为什么没把他带来?”
46 卫兵们回答说∶“从来没有人像这样讲过话!”
47 法利赛人说∶“难道你们也被愚弄了吗? 48 有首领或是法利赛人信仰他吗? 49 那些不知律法的人是要受到诅咒的!”
50 尼哥底母 [c]对他们说: 51 “不先听他的口供,不调查他做了些什么,我们的律法能定他的罪吗?”
52 他们回答他说∶“难道你也是从加利利来的吗?查考一下《经》,你就会明白加利利没有出过先知。”

53 然后他们分手各自回家去了。

约翰福音 7
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
耶穌的弟弟也不信他
7 這事以後,耶穌周遊加利利,不願在猶太往來,因為猶太人想要殺他。 2 猶太人的住棚節快到了, 3 耶穌的弟弟就對他說:“你應當離開這裡上猶太去,好讓你的門徒也可以看見你所行的事; 4 因為沒有人想引人注目,卻在暗處行事的。你既然行這些事,就應該向世人顯明自己。” 5 原來連他的弟弟也不信他。 6 耶穌就對他們說:“我的時候還沒有到,你們的時候卻常常是方便的。 7 世人不能恨你們,卻憎恨我,因為我指證他們的行為是邪惡的。 8 你們上去過節吧!我現在不上去過這個節,因為我的時機還沒有成熟。” 9 他說了這些話以後,仍然住在加利利。
住棚節時在殿裡教導人
10 然而,他的弟弟上去過節以後,他也上去過節,不是公開地去,卻是暗中地去。 11 過節的時候,猶太人尋找耶穌,說:“那人在哪裡呢?” 12 群眾因他紛紛議論,有的說:“他是好人。”有的說:“不,他是欺騙眾人的。” 13 但沒有人敢公開講論他,因為怕猶太人。
14 節期當中,耶穌上聖殿去教導人。 15 猶太人就希奇,說:“這個人沒有學過,怎會通曉經書呢?” 16 耶穌說:“我的教訓不是我自己的,而是出於那差我來的。 17 人若願意遵行 神的旨意,就會知道這教訓是出於 神,還是我憑著自己的意思說的。 18 那憑著自己的意思說的,是求自己的榮譽;但那尋求差他來者的榮耀的,才是真誠的人,在他裡面沒有不義。 19 摩西不是曾經把律法傳給你們嗎?你們竟然沒有一個人遵行律法。你們為甚麼想要殺我呢?” 20 群眾回答:“你是鬼附的,誰想要殺你呢?” 21 耶穌說:“我行了一件事,你們都以為希奇。 22 摩西曾經把割禮傳給你們(其實割禮不是從摩西開始的,而是從列祖開始的),因此,你們在安息日也給人行割禮。 23 如果人在安息日行割禮,為的是要遵守摩西的律法,那麼我在安息日使一個人全身健康,你們就向我生氣嗎? 24 不要按外貌判斷人,總要公公平平地判斷人。”
他是基督嗎?
25 當時,有些耶路撒冷人說:“這不是他們想要殺的人嗎? 26 你看,他還在公開地講話,竟然沒有人對他說甚麼,難道官長們真的認為這個人就是基督嗎? 27 可是我們知道這個人是從哪裡來的,只是基督來的時候,沒有人知道他是從哪裡來的!” 28 當時耶穌在殿裡教導人,大聲說:“你們以為認識我,也知道我從哪裡來,其實我不是憑著自己的意思來的,但那差我來的是真實的,你們卻不認識他。 29 然而我認識他,因為我從他那裡來,也是他差我來的。” 30 於是他們想逮捕他,只是沒有人下手,因為他的時候還沒有到。 31 群眾中有許多人信了他。他們說:“基督來的時候,他所行的神蹟,能比這人所行的更多嗎?”
法利賽人等想逮捕耶穌
32 法利賽人聽見群眾紛紛議論這些關於耶穌的事,祭司長和法利賽人就派差役去逮捕耶穌。 33 於是耶穌說:“我跟你們在一起的時候不多了,我要回到那差我來的那裡去。 34 你們要尋找我,卻找不著;我所在的地方,你們是不能去的。” 35 猶太人彼此說:“這個人要到哪裡去,使我們找不著他呢?難道他要到散居在希臘人中的猶太人那裡,去教導希臘人嗎? 36 他說‘你們要尋找我,卻找不著;我所在的地方,你們是不能去的’這話,是甚麼意思呢?”
信的人要接受聖靈
37 節期的最後一天,就是最隆重的那一天,耶穌站著高聲說:“人若渴了,可以到我這裡來喝! 38 信我的人,就像聖經所說的,從他的腹中要湧流出活水的江河來。” 39 他這話是指著信他的人要接受聖靈說的;那時聖靈還沒有降臨,因為耶穌還沒有得著榮耀。
群眾因耶穌起了紛爭
40 群眾中有人聽了這些話,就說:“這真是‘那位先知’!” 41 另有人說:“他是基督。”還有人說:“基督是從加利利出來的嗎? 42 聖經不是說基督是大衛的後裔,是從大衛本鄉伯利恆出來的嗎?” 43 群眾因為耶穌的緣故,就起了紛爭。 44 他們中間有人想逮捕耶穌,只是沒有人下手。
官長不信耶穌
45 差役回到祭司長和法利賽人那裡。他們就問差役:“你們為甚麼沒有把他帶來?” 46 差役回答:“從來沒有人像他這樣講話的!” 47 法利賽人說:“連你們也受了欺騙嗎? 48 官長或法利賽人中間有誰是信他的呢? 49 至於這群不明白律法的人,他們是可咒詛的。” 50 他們當中有一個人,就是以前來見耶穌的尼哥德慕,對他們說: 51 “如果不先聽取他本人的口供,查明他所作的事,我們的律法怎能把他定罪呢?” 52 他們回答:“你也是從加利利出來的嗎?你去考查一下,就知道先知是不會從加利利興起的。”
53 於是各人都回家去了。(後期抄本才加上7:53~8:11)
John 7
New International Version
Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles
7 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.(B) 2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(C) was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers(D) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(E)
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(G) because I testify that its works are evil.(H) 8 You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time(I) has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus(J) and asking, “Where is he?”
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”(K) 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.(L)
Jesus Teaches at the Festival
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.(M) 15 The Jews(N) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning(O) without having been taught?”(P)
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.(Q) 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out(R) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,(S) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law?(T) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”(U)
20 “You are demon-possessed,”(V) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,(W) and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision(X) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),(Y) you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”(Z)
Division Over Who Jesus Is
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?(AA) 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities(AB) really concluded that he is the Messiah?(AC) 27 But we know where this man is from;(AD) when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts,(AE) cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.(AF) I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.(AG) You do not know him, 29 but I know him(AH) because I am from him and he sent me.”(AI)
30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,(AJ) because his hour had not yet come.(AK) 31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him.(AL) They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs(AM) than this man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time,(AN) and then I am going to the one who sent me.(AO) 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”(AP)
35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered(AQ) among the Greeks,(AR) and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”(AS)
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival,(AT) Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.(AU) 38 Whoever believes(AV) in me, as Scripture has said,(AW) rivers of living water(AX) will flow from within them.”[c](AY) 39 By this he meant the Spirit,(AZ) whom those who believed in him were later to receive.(BA) Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.(BB)
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”(BC)
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(BD) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(BE) and from Bethlehem,(BF) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(BG) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(BH)
Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”(BI) the guards replied.
47 “You mean he has deceived you also?”(BJ) the Pharisees retorted. 48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?(BK) 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus,(BL) who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”(BM)

53 Then they all went home,
