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。”

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.

The Unbelief of Jesus’s Brothers
7 After this, Jesus travelled in Galilee,(A) since he did not want to travel in Judea(B) because the Jews(C) were trying to kill him.(D) 2 The Jewish Festival of Shelters[a](E) was near. 3 So his brothers(F) said to him, ‘Leave here and go to Judea so that your disciples can see your works(G) that you are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.’ 5 (For not even his brothers believed in him.)
6 Jesus told them, ‘My time(H) has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand. 7 The world cannot hate(I) you, but it does hate me because I testify about it – that its works are evil. 8 Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to this festival,[b] because my time has not yet fully come.’ 9 After he had said these things, he stayed in Galilee.
Jesus at the Festival of Shelters
10 After his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not openly but secretly. 11 The Jews were looking for him at the festival and saying, ‘Where is he? ’ 12 And there was a lot of murmuring about him among the crowds. Some were saying, ‘He’s a good(J) man.’ Others were saying, ‘No, on the contrary, he’s deceiving(K) the people.’ 13 Still, nobody was talking publicly about him for fear of the Jews.
14 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple(L) and began to teach. 15 Then the Jews were amazed and said, ‘How is this man so learned,(M) since he hasn’t been trained? ’
16 Jesus answered them, ‘My teaching isn’t mine but is from the one who sent me.(N) 17 If anyone wants to do his will,(O) he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own. 18 The one who speaks on his own seeks his own glory;(P) but he who seeks the glory(Q) of the one who sent him is true,(R) and there is no unrighteousness in him.(S) 19 Didn’t Moses(T) give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law.(U) Why are you trying to kill me? ’
20 ‘You have a demon! ’ the crowd responded. ‘Who is trying to kill you? ’
21 ‘I performed one work,(V) and you are all amazed,’ Jesus answered. 22 ‘This is why Moses has given you circumcision(W) #– #not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers(X) #– #and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.(Y) 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath(Z) so that the law of Moses(AA) won’t be broken, are you angry at me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging(AB) according to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgement.’
The Identity of the Messiah
25 Some of the people of Jerusalem(AC) were saying, ‘Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill? 26 Yet, look, he’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to him. Can it be true that the authorities(AD) know he is the Messiah?(AE) 27 But we know where this man is from.(AF) When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he is from.’
28 As he was teaching in the temple,(AG) Jesus cried out, ‘You know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the one who sent me(AH) is true. You don’t know him;(AI) 29 I know him because I am from him, and he sent me.’(AJ)
30 Then they tried to seize him. Yet no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come. 31 However, many from the crowd believed in him and said, ‘When the Messiah comes, he won’t perform more signs than this man has done,(AK) will he? ’ 32 The Pharisees(AL) heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and so the chief priests(AM) and the Pharisees sent servants[c] to arrest him.
33 Then Jesus said, ‘I am only with you for a short time.(AN) Then I’m 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 Then the Jews(AQ) said to one another, ‘Where does he intend to go that we won’t find him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Jewish people dispersed[d](AR) among the Greeks(AS) and teach the Greeks, does he? 36 What is this remark he made: “You will look for me, and you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come”(AT)? ’
The Promise of the Spirit
37 On the last and most important day of the festival,(AU) Jesus stood up and cried out, ‘If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me[e](AV) and drink.(AW) 38 The one who believes in me,(AX) as the Scripture(AY) has said, will have streams of living water(AZ) flow(BA) from deep within him.’ 39 He said this about the Spirit.(BB) Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit,(BC) for the Spirit[f] had not yet been given[g] because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
The People Are Divided over Jesus
40 When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, ‘This truly is the Prophet.’(BD) 41 Others said, ‘This is the Messiah.’ But some said, ‘Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does he? 42 Doesn’t the Scripture(BE) say that the Messiah comes from David’s(BF) offspring[h] and from the town of Bethlehem,(BG) where David lived? ’ 43 So the crowd was divided(BH) because of him. 44 Some of them wanted to seize him,(BI) but no one laid hands on him.
Debate over Jesus’s Claims
45 Then the servants(BJ) came to the chief priests(BK) and Pharisees, who asked them, ‘Why didn’t you bring him? ’
46 The servants answered, ‘No man ever spoke like this! ’[i](BL)
47 Then the Pharisees responded to them, ‘Are you fooled(BM) too? 48 Have any of the rulers(BN) or Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd, which doesn’t know the law, is accursed.’
50 Nicodemus(BO) – the one who came to him previously and who was one of them – said to them, 51 ‘Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it? ’(BP)
52 ‘You aren’t from Galilee(BQ) too, are you? ’ they replied. ‘Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.’(BR)
