约翰福音 7
Chinese New Version (Simplified)
耶稣的弟弟也不信他
7 这事以后，耶稣周游加利利，不愿在犹太往来，因为犹太人想要杀他。 2 犹太人的住棚节快到了， 3 耶稣的弟弟就对他说：“你应当离开这里上犹太去，好让你的门徒也可以看见你所行的事； 4 因为没有人想引人注目，却在暗处行事的。你既然行这些事，就应该向世人显明自己。” 5 原来连他的弟弟也不信他。 6 耶稣就对他们说：“我的时候还没有到，你们的时候却常常是方便的。 7 世人不能恨你们，却憎恨我，因为我指证他们的行为是邪恶的。 8 你们上去过节吧！我现在不上去过这个节，因为我的时机还没有成熟。” 9 他说了这些话以后，仍然住在加利利。
住棚节时在殿里教导人
10 然而，他的弟弟上去过节以后，他也上去过节，不是公开地去，却是暗中地去。 11 过节的时候，犹太人寻找耶稣，说：“那人在哪里呢？” 12 群众因他纷纷议论，有的说：“他是好人。”有的说：“不，他是欺骗众人的。” 13 但没有人敢公开讲论他，因为怕犹太人。
14 节期当中，耶稣上圣殿去教导人。 15 犹太人就希奇，说：“这个人没有学过，怎会通晓经书呢？” 16 耶稣说：“我的教训不是我自己的，而是出于那差我来的。 17 人若愿意遵行 神的旨意，就会知道这教训是出于 神，还是我凭着自己的意思说的。 18 那凭着自己的意思说的，是求自己的荣誉；但那寻求差他来者的荣耀的，才是真诚的人，在他里面没有不义。 19 摩西不是曾经把律法传给你们吗？你们竟然没有一个人遵行律法。你们为甚么想要杀我呢？” 20 群众回答：“你是鬼附的，谁想要杀你呢？” 21 耶稣说：“我行了一件事，你们都以为希奇。 22 摩西曾经把割礼传给你们（其实割礼不是从摩西开始的，而是从列祖开始的），因此，你们在安息日也给人行割礼。 23 如果人在安息日行割礼，为的是要遵守摩西的律法，那么我在安息日使一个人全身健康，你们就向我生气吗？ 24 不要按外貌判断人，总要公公平平地判断人。”
他是基督吗？
25 当时，有些耶路撒冷人说：“这不是他们想要杀的人吗？ 26 你看，他还在公开地讲话，竟然没有人对他说甚么，难道官长们真的认为这个人就是基督吗？ 27 可是我们知道这个人是从哪里来的，只是基督来的时候，没有人知道他是从哪里来的！” 28 当时耶稣在殿里教导人，大声说：“你们以为认识我，也知道我从哪里来，其实我不是凭着自己的意思来的，但那差我来的是真实的，你们却不认识他。 29 然而我认识他，因为我从他那里来，也是他差我来的。” 30 于是他们想逮捕他，只是没有人下手，因为他的时候还没有到。 31 群众中有许多人信了他。他们说：“基督来的时候，他所行的神迹，能比这人所行的更多吗？”
法利赛人等想逮捕耶稣
32 法利赛人听见群众纷纷议论这些关于耶稣的事，祭司长和法利赛人就派差役去逮捕耶稣。 33 于是耶稣说：“我跟你们在一起的时候不多了，我要回到那差我来的那里去。 34 你们要寻找我，却找不着；我所在的地方，你们是不能去的。” 35 犹太人彼此说：“这个人要到哪里去，使我们找不着他呢？难道他要到散居在希腊人中的犹太人那里，去教导希腊人吗？ 36 他说‘你们要寻找我，却找不着；我所在的地方，你们是不能去的’这话，是甚么意思呢？”
信的人要接受圣灵
37 节期的最后一天，就是最隆重的那一天，耶稣站着高声说：“人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝！ 38 信我的人，就像圣经所说的，从他的腹中要涌流出活水的江河来。” 39 他这话是指着信他的人要接受圣灵说的；那时圣灵还没有降临，因为耶稣还没有得着荣耀。
群众因耶稣起了纷争
40 群众中有人听了这些话，就说：“这真是‘那位先知’！” 41 另有人说：“他是基督。”还有人说：“基督是从加利利出来的吗？ 42 圣经不是说基督是大卫的后裔，是从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的吗？” 43 群众因为耶稣的缘故，就起了纷争。 44 他们中间有人想逮捕耶稣，只是没有人下手。
官长不信耶稣
45 差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里。他们就问差役：“你们为甚么没有把他带来？” 46 差役回答：“从来没有人像他这样讲话的！” 47 法利赛人说：“连你们也受了欺骗吗？ 48 官长或法利赛人中间有谁是信他的呢？ 49 至于这群不明白律法的人，他们是可咒诅的。” 50 他们当中有一个人，就是以前来见耶稣的尼哥德慕，对他们说： 51 “如果不先听取他本人的口供，查明他所作的事，我们的律法怎能把他定罪呢？” 52 他们回答：“你也是从加利利出来的吗？你去考查一下，就知道先知是不会从加利利兴起的。”
53 于是各人都回家去了。（后期抄本才加上7:53~8:11）
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.

Modern English Version
The Unbelief of Jesus’ Brothers
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee. He would not walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. 2 Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You do. 4 For no one does anything in secret, while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, reveal Yourself to the world.” 5 For even His brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always fitting. 7 The world cannot hate you. But it hates Me, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not going up to this feast yet, because My time has not yet fully come.” 9 Having said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
Jesus at the Feast of Tabernacles
10 However, after His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He also went up, not publicly, but secretly. 11 Then the Jews looked for Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?”
12 There was much complaining among the people concerning Him. For some said, “He is a good Man.”
Others said, “No, He deceives the people.” 13 Yet no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews marveled, saying, “How has this Man become educated, having never been taught?”
16 Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 If any man desires to do His will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The people answered and said, “You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a man on the Sabbath day (although it did not come from Moses, but from the Patriarchs). 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath day, so that the Law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry at Me because I completely healed a man on the Sabbath day? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but practice righteous judgment.”
Is He the Christ?
25 Then some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to kill? 26 Look! He speaks publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers indeed know that this is really the Christ? 27 But we know where this Man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple, cried out, “You know Me and you likewise know where I am from. I have not come on My own authority, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29 But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 Still, 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?”
Officials Sent to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him. So the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
33 Then Jesus said to them, “I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me. 34 You will look for Me and you will not find Me. And where I am, you cannot come.”
35 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? 36 What kind of saying is this which He said, ‘You will look for Me and you will not find Me. And where I am, you cannot come’? ”
Rivers of Living Water
37 On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.” 39 By this He spoke of the Spirit, whom those who believe in Him would receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Division Among the People
40 Therefore when they heard these words, many of the people said, “Truly, this is the Prophet.”
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 Has the Scripture not said that the Christ comes from the seed of David, out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?” 43 So there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
The Unbelief of Those in Authority
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”
46 The officers answered, “No man has ever spoken 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 Not at all. This crowd who does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus, being one of them who came to Jesus by night, said to them, 51 “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet arises out of Galilee.”

4. LA FESTA DELLE CAPANNE (LA GRANDE RIVELAZIONE MESSIANICA IL GRANDE RIFIUTO)
Gesù sale a Gerusalemme per la festa e insegna
7 Dopo questi fatti Gesù se ne andava per la Galilea; infatti non voleva più andare per la Giudea, perché i Giudei cercavano di ucciderlo.
2 Si avvicinava intanto la festa dei Giudei, detta delle Capanne; 3 i suoi fratelli gli dissero: «Parti di qui e và nella Giudea perché anche i tuoi discepoli vedano le opere che tu fai. 4 Nessuno infatti agisce di nascosto, se vuole venire riconosciuto pubblicamente. Se fai tali cose, manifèstati al mondo!». 5 Neppure i suoi fratelli infatti credevano in lui. 6 Gesù allora disse loro: «Il mio tempo non è ancora venuto, il vostro invece è sempre pronto. 7 Il mondo non può odiare voi, ma odia me, perché di lui io attesto che le sue opere sono cattive. 8 Andate voi a questa festa; io non ci vado, perché il mio tempo non è ancora compiuto». 9 Dette loro queste cose, restò nella Galilea.
10 Ma andati i suoi fratelli alla festa, allora vi andò anche lui; non apertamente però: di nascosto. 11 I Giudei intanto lo cercavano durante la festa e dicevano: «Dov'è quel tale?». 12 E si faceva sommessamente un gran parlare di lui tra la folla; gli uni infatti dicevano: «E' buono!». Altri invece: «No, inganna la gente!». 13 Nessuno però ne parlava in pubblico, per paura dei Giudei.
14 Quando ormai si era a metà della festa, Gesù salì al tempio e vi insegnava. 15 I Giudei ne erano stupiti e dicevano: «Come mai costui conosce le Scritture, senza avere studiato?». 16 Gesù rispose: «La mia dottrina non è mia, ma di colui che mi ha mandato. 17 Chi vuol fare la sua volontà, conoscerà se questa dottrina viene da Dio, o se io parlo da me stesso. 18 Chi parla da se stesso, cerca la propria gloria; ma chi cerca la gloria di colui che l'ha mandato è veritiero, e in lui non c'è ingiustizia. 19 Non è stato forse Mosè a darvi la Legge? Eppure nessuno di voi osserva la Legge! Perché cercate di uccidermi?». 20 Rispose la folla: «Tu hai un demonio! Chi cerca di ucciderti?». 21 Rispose Gesù: «Un'opera sola ho compiuto, e tutti ne siete stupiti. 22 Mosè vi ha dato la circoncisione - non che essa venga da Mosè, ma dai patriarchi - e voi circoncidete un uomo anche di sabato. 23 Ora se un uomo riceve la circoncisione di sabato perché non sia trasgredita la Legge di Mosè, voi vi sdegnate contro di me perché ho guarito interamente un uomo di sabato? 24 Non giudicate secondo le apparenze, ma giudicate con giusto giudizio!».
Discussioni popolari sull'origine del Cristo
25 Intanto alcuni di Gerusalemme dicevano: «Non è costui quello che cercano di uccidere? 26 Ecco, egli parla liberamente, e non gli dicono niente. Che forse i capi abbiano riconosciuto davvero che egli è il Cristo? 27 Ma costui sappiamo di dov'è; il Cristo invece, quando verrà, nessuno saprà di dove sia». 28 Gesù allora, mentre insegnava nel tempio, esclamò: «Certo, voi mi conoscete e sapete di dove sono. Eppure io non sono venuto da me e chi mi ha mandato è veritiero, e voi non lo conoscete. 29 Io però lo conosco, perché vengo da lui ed egli mi ha mandato». 30 Allora cercarono di arrestarlo, ma nessuno riuscì a mettergli le mani addosso, perché non era ancora giunta la sua ora.
Gesù annunzia la sua prossima partenza
31 Molti della folla invece credettero in lui, e dicevano: «Il Cristo, quando verrà, potrà fare segni più grandi di quelli che ha fatto costui?».
32 I farisei intanto udirono che la gente sussurrava queste cose di lui e perciò i sommi sacerdoti e i farisei mandarono delle guardie per arrestarlo. 33 Gesù disse: «Per poco tempo ancora rimango con voi, poi vado da colui che mi ha mandato. 34 Voi mi cercherete, e non mi troverete; e dove sono io, voi non potrete venire». 35 Dissero dunque tra loro i Giudei: «Dove mai sta per andare costui, che noi non potremo trovarlo? Andrà forse da quelli che sono dispersi fra i Greci e ammaestrerà i Greci? 36 Che discorso è questo che ha fatto: Mi cercherete e non mi troverete e dove sono io voi non potrete venire?».
La promessa dell'acqua viva
37 Nell'ultimo giorno, il grande giorno della festa, Gesù levatosi in piedi esclamò ad alta voce: «Chi ha sete venga a me e beva 38 chi crede in me; come dice la Scrittura: fiumi di acqua viva sgorgheranno dal suo seno». 39 Questo egli disse riferendosi allo Spirito che avrebbero ricevuto i credenti in lui: infatti non c'era ancora lo Spirito, perché Gesù non era stato ancora glorificato.
Nuove discussioni sull'origine del Cristo
40 All'udire queste parole, alcuni fra la gente dicevano: «Questi è davvero il profeta!». 41 Altri dicevano: «Questi è il Cristo!». Altri invece dicevano: «Il Cristo viene forse dalla Galilea? 42 Non dice forse la Scrittura che il Cristo verrà dalla stirpe di Davide e da Betlemme, il villaggio di Davide?». 43 E nacque dissenso tra la gente riguardo a lui.
44 Alcuni di loro volevano arrestarlo, ma nessuno gli mise le mani addosso. 45 Le guardie tornarono quindi dai sommi sacerdoti e dai farisei e questi dissero loro: «Perché non lo avete condotto?». 46 Risposero le guardie: «Mai un uomo ha parlato come parla quest'uomo!». 47 Ma i farisei replicarono loro: «Forse vi siete lasciati ingannare anche voi? 48 Forse gli ha creduto qualcuno fra i capi, o fra i farisei? 49 Ma questa gente, che non conosce la Legge, è maledetta!». 50 Disse allora Nicodèmo, uno di loro, che era venuto precedentemente da Gesù: 51 «La nostra Legge giudica forse un uomo prima di averlo ascoltato e di sapere ciò che fa?». 52 Gli risposero: «Sei forse anche tu della Galilea? Studia e vedrai che non sorge profeta dalla Galilea».
La donna adultera
53 E tornarono ciascuno a casa sua.
