约翰福音 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
耶稣的弟弟不信祂
7 之后,耶稣周游加利利,不愿去犹太地区,因为犹太人想要杀祂。 2 犹太人的住棚节快到了, 3 耶稣的弟弟们对祂说:“离开这里,去犹太过节吧,好让你的门徒在那里也看见你所做的啊! 4 因为人想出名,都不会暗地里行事,你既然可以做这些事,就把自己显给世人看吧!” 5 原来连祂的弟弟们也不信祂。
6 耶稣对他们说:“我的时候还没有到,你们什么时候都很方便。 7 世人不会恨你们,只会恨我,因为我指证他们行为邪恶。 8 你们先去过节吧,我现在还不上去,因为我的时候还没有到。” 9 耶稣说完这些话,仍留在加利利。
耶稣过住棚节
10 他们走了以后,耶稣避开了人们的注意,暗地里上去过节。 11 节期到了,犹太人到处查问:“耶稣在哪里?”
12 众人对祂议论纷纷,有些人说:“祂是好人,”有些说:“不,祂欺骗民众。” 13 不过,没有人敢公开议论祂的事,因为害怕犹太人。
14 节期约过了一半,耶稣来到圣殿教导人。 15 犹太人感到惊奇,说:“这个人没有受过教育,怎么懂得这么多呢?”
16 耶稣说:“我的教导不是出于我自己,而是出于差我来的那位。 17 如果你们愿意遵行上帝的旨意,就能分辨这些教导是出于上帝,还是出于我自己。 18 凭自己讲论的人是要寻求自己的荣耀,但人子真实无伪,毫无不义,祂是为了使差祂来的那位得荣耀。 19 摩西不是把律法传给了你们吗?你们却没有一个人遵守。为什么想要杀我呢?”
20 众人回答说:“你一定是被鬼附身了!谁要杀你啊?”
21 耶稣说:“我行了一件神迹,你们都感到惊奇。 22 摩西把割礼传给你们,你们也在安息日行割礼。其实割礼不是摩西定的,而是从祖先们的时代就有了。 23 为了避免违背摩西的律法,行割礼的那一天就算是安息日,你们还是照行。那么,我在安息日使一个病人完全康复,你们为什么责怪我呢? 24 不要根据外表来断定是非,要按公义的原则判断。”
耶稣是基督吗
25 有些住在耶路撒冷的人说:“这不是他们要杀的那个人吗? 26 你看祂这样公开讲道,居然没有人说什么,难道官长也真的认为祂是基督吗? 27 可是基督来的时候,根本没有人知道祂从哪里来,我们却知道这个人是从哪里来的。”
28 于是,耶稣在圣殿里高声教导人说:“你们知道我是谁,也知道我是从哪里来的。其实我来不是出于自己的意思,差我来的那位是真实的,你们不认识祂。 29 但我认识祂,因为我是从祂那里来的,差我来的就是祂。” 30 他们听了,想捉拿耶稣,只是没有人下手,因为祂的时候还没有到。
31 人群中有许多人信了耶稣,他们说:“基督来的时候所行的神迹,难道会比这个人行得更多吗?”
32 法利赛人听见众人这样议论耶稣,就联合祭司长派差役去抓祂。 33 耶稣对众人说:“我暂时还会跟你们在一起,不久我要回到差我来的那位那里。 34 那时你们要找我却找不到,你们也不能去我所在的地方。”
35 犹太人彼此议论说:“祂要去哪里使我们找不着呢?难道祂要到我们犹太人侨居的希腊各地去教导希腊人吗? 36 祂说我们找不到祂,又不能去祂所在的地方,是什么意思?”
活水的江河
37 节期最后一天,也是整个节期的高潮,耶稣站起来高声说:“人若渴了,可以到我这里来喝。 38 正如圣经所言,信我的人,‘从他里面要流出活水的江河来’。” 39 耶稣这话是指信祂的人要得到圣灵,但当时圣灵还没有降临,因为耶稣还没有得到荣耀。
40 听见这些话后,有些人说:“祂真是那位先知。” 41 也有些人说:“祂是基督。”还有些人说:“不会吧,基督怎么会出自加利利呢? 42 圣经上不是说基督是大卫的后裔,要降生在大卫的故乡伯利恒吗?” 43 众人因为对耶稣的看法不同,就起了纷争。 44 有些人想抓祂,只是没有人下手。
犹太官长不信耶稣
45 祭司长和法利赛人看见差役空手回来,就问:“你们为什么不把祂带来呢?”
46 差役答道:“从未有人像祂那样说话!”
47 法利赛人说:“难道你们也被祂迷惑了吗? 48 哪有官长和法利赛人信祂呢? 49 这群不明白律法的民众该受咒诅!”
50 曾经夜访耶稣、属于他们当中一员的尼哥德慕说: 51 “难道不听被告申辩,不查明事实真相,我们的律法就定祂的罪吗?”
52 他们回答说:“难道你也是加利利人吗?你去查查看,就会知道没有先知是从加利利来的。”
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)
[The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]
53 Then they all went home,

Jesus and His Brothers
7 After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there wanted to kill him. 2 It was time for the Jewish Feast of Shelters. 3 So Jesus’ brothers said to him, “You should leave here and go to Judea. Then your followers there can see the miracles you do. 4 Anyone who wants to be well known does not hide what he does. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 (Even Jesus’ brothers did not believe in him.)
6 Jesus said to his brothers, “The right time for me has not yet come. But any time is right for you. 7 The world cannot hate you. But it hates me, because I tell about the evil things it does. 8 So you go to the feast. I will not go now. The right time for me has not yet come.” 9 After saying this, Jesus stayed in Galilee.
10 So Jesus’ brothers left to go to the feast. When they had gone, Jesus went, too. But he did not let people see him. 11 At the feast the Jews were looking for him. They said, “Where is that man?”
12 There was a large crowd of people there. Many of them were whispering to each other about Jesus. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others said, “No, he fools the people.” 13 But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly. They were afraid of the Jews.
Jesus Teaches at the Feast
14 The feast was about half over. Then Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach. 15 The Jews were amazed. They said, “This man has never studied in school. How did he learn so much?”
16 Jesus answered, “The things I teach are not my own. My teaching comes from him who sent me. 17 If anyone chooses to do what God wants, then he will know that my teaching comes from God. He will know that this teaching is not my own. 18 He who teaches his own ideas is trying to get honor for himself. But he who tries to bring honor to the one who sent him—that person speaks the truth. There is nothing false in him. 19 Moses gave you the law,[a] but none of you obey that law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
20 The people answered, “A demon has come into you. We are not trying to kill you.”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed. 22 Moses gave you the law about circumcision. (But really Moses did not give you circumcision. Circumcision came from our ancestors.) And yet you circumcise a baby boy on a Sabbath day. 23 This shows that a baby boy can be circumcised on a Sabbath day to obey the law of Moses. So why are you angry at me for healing a person’s whole body on the Sabbath day? 24 Stop judging by the way things look! Be fair, and judge by what is really right.”
Is Jesus the Christ?
25 Then some of the people who lived in Jerusalem said, “This is the man they are trying to kill. 26 But he is teaching where everyone can see and hear him. And no one is trying to stop him. Maybe the leaders have decided that he really is the Christ. 27 But we know where this man is from. Yet when the real Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28 Jesus was still teaching in the Temple. He cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. But I have not come by my own authority. I was sent by the One who is true. You don’t know him. 29 But I know him. I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 When Jesus said this, they tried to seize him. But no one was able to touch him. It was not yet the right time. 31 But many of the people believed in Jesus. They said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man has done?”
Some Leaders Try to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus. So the leading priests and the Pharisees sent some Temple guards to arrest him. 33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer. Then I will go back to the One who sent me. 34 You will look for me, but you will not find me. And you cannot come where I am.”
35 The Jews said to each other, “Where will this man go so we cannot find him? Will he go to the Greek cities where our people live? Will he teach the Greek people there? 36 This man says, ‘You will look for me but you will not find me.’ He also says, ‘You cannot come where I am.’ What does this mean?”
Jesus Talks About the Spirit
37 The last day of the feast came. It was the most important day. On that day Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink. 38 If a person believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from his heart. This is what the Scripture says.” 39 Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit. The Spirit had not yet been given because Jesus had not yet been raised to glory. But later, those who believed in Jesus would receive the Spirit.
The People Argue About Jesus
40 The people heard these things that Jesus said. Some of them said, “This man really is the Prophet.”[b]
41 Others said, “He is the Christ.”
Still others said, “The Christ will not come from Galilee. 42 The Scripture says that the Christ will come from David’s family. And the Scripture says that the Christ will come from Bethlehem, the town where David lived.” 43 So the people did not agree with each other about Jesus. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one was able to touch him.
The Leaders Won’t Believe
45 The Temple guards went back to the leading priests and the Pharisees. The priests and the Pharisees asked, “Why didn’t you bring Jesus?”
46 The Temple guards answered, “The things he says are greater than the words of any man!”
47 The Pharisees answered, “So Jesus has fooled you too! 48 Have any of the leaders or the Pharisees believed in him? No! 49 But those people, who know nothing about the law, are under God’s curse!”
50 But Nicodemus was there in that group. He was the one who had gone to see Jesus before.[c] Nicodemus said, 51 “Our law does not judge a man without hearing him. We cannot judge him until we know what he has done.”
52 They answered, “Are you from Galilee too? Study the Scriptures. You will learn that no prophet comes from Galilee.”
53 And everyone left and went home.[d]

Jean 7
Louis Segond
7 Après cela, Jésus parcourait la Galilée, car il ne voulait pas séjourner en Judée, parce que les Juifs cherchaient à le faire mourir.
2 Or, la fête des Juifs, la fête des Tabernacles, était proche.
3 Et ses frères lui dirent: Pars d'ici, et va en Judée, afin que tes disciples voient aussi les oeuvres que tu fais.
4 Personne n'agit en secret, lorsqu'il désire paraître: si tu fais ces choses, montre-toi toi-même au monde.
5 Car ses frères non plus ne croyaient pas en lui.
6 Jésus leur dit: Mon temps n'est pas encore venu, mais votre temps est toujours prêt.
7 Le monde ne peut vous haïr; moi, il me hait, parce que je rends de lui le témoignage que ses oeuvres sont mauvaises.
8 Montez, vous, à cette fête; pour moi, je n'y monte point, parce que mon temps n'est pas encore accompli.
9 Après leur avoir dit cela, il resta en Galilée.
10 Lorsque ses frères furent montés à la fête, il y monta aussi lui-même, non publiquement, mais comme en secret.
11 Les Juifs le cherchaient pendant la fête, et disaient: Où est-il?
12 Il y avait dans la foule grande rumeur à son sujet. Les uns disaient: C'est un homme de bien. D'autres disaient: Non, il égare la multitude.
13 Personne, toutefois, ne parlait librement de lui, par crainte des Juifs.
14 Vers le milieu de la fête, Jésus monta au temple. Et il enseignait.
15 Les Juifs s'étonnaient, disant: Comment connaît-il les Écritures, lui qui n'a point étudié?
16 Jésus leur répondit: Ma doctrine n'est pas de moi, mais de celui qui m'a envoyé.
17 Si quelqu'un veut faire sa volonté, il connaîtra si ma doctrine est de Dieu, ou si je parle de mon chef.
18 Celui qui parle de son chef cherche sa propre gloire; mais celui qui cherche la gloire de celui qui l'a envoyé, celui-là est vrai, et il n'y a point d'injustice en lui.
19 Moïse ne vous a-t-il pas donné la loi? Et nul de vous n'observe la loi. Pourquoi cherchez-vous à me faire mourir?
20 La foule répondit: Tu as un démon. Qui est-ce qui cherche à te faire mourir?
21 Jésus leur répondit: J'ai fait une oeuvre, et vous en êtes tous étonnés.
22 Moïse vous a donné la circoncision, -non qu'elle vienne de Moïse, car elle vient des patriarches, -et vous circoncisez un homme le jour du sabbat.
23 Si un homme reçoit la circoncision le jour du sabbat, afin que la loi de Moïse ne soit pas violée, pourquoi vous irritez-vous contre moi de ce que j'ai guéri un homme tout entier le jour du sabbat?
24 Ne jugez pas selon l'apparence, mais jugez selon la justice.
25 Quelques habitants de Jérusalem disaient: N'est-ce pas là celui qu'ils cherchent à faire mourir?
26 Et voici, il parle librement, et ils ne lui disent rien! Est-ce que vraiment les chefs auraient reconnu qu'il est le Christ?
27 Cependant celui-ci, nous savons d'où il est; mais le Christ, quand il viendra, personne ne saura d'où il est.
28 Et Jésus, enseignant dans le temple, s'écria: Vous me connaissez, et vous savez d'où je suis! Je ne suis pas venu de moi-même: mais celui qui m'a envoyé est vrai, et vous ne le connaissez pas.
29 Moi, je le connais; car je viens de lui, et c'est lui qui m'a envoyé.
30 Ils cherchaient donc à se saisir de lui, et personne ne mit la main sur lui, parce que son heure n'était pas encore venue.
31 Plusieurs parmi la foule crurent en lui, et ils disaient: Le Christ, quand il viendra, fera-t-il plus de miracles que n'en a fait celui-ci?
32 Les pharisiens entendirent la foule murmurant de lui ces choses. Alors les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens envoyèrent des huissiers pour le saisir.
33 Jésus dit: Je suis encore avec vous pour un peu de temps, puis je m'en vais vers celui qui m'a envoyé.
34 Vous me chercherez et vous ne me trouverez pas, et vous ne pouvez venir où je serai.
35 Sur quoi les Juifs dirent entre eux: Où ira-t-il, que nous ne le trouvions pas? Ira-t-il parmi ceux qui sont dispersés chez les Grecs, et enseignera-t-il les Grecs?
36 Que signifie cette parole qu'il a dite: Vous me chercherez et vous ne me trouverez pas, et vous ne pouvez venir où je serai?
37 Le dernier jour, le grand jour de la fête, Jésus, se tenant debout, s'écria: Si quelqu'un a soif, qu'il vienne à moi, et qu'il boive.
38 Celui qui croit en moi, des fleuves d'eau vive couleront de son sein, comme dit l'Écriture.
39 Il dit cela de l'Esprit que devaient recevoir ceux qui croiraient en lui; car l'Esprit n'était pas encore, parce que Jésus n'avait pas encore été glorifié.
40 Des gens de la foule, ayant entendu ces paroles, disaient: Celui-ci est vraiment le prophète.
41 D'autres disaient: C'est le Christ. Et d'autres disaient: Est-ce bien de la Galilée que doit venir le Christ?
42 L'Écriture ne dit-elle pas que c'est de la postérité de David, et du village de Bethléhem, où était David, que le Christ doit venir?
43 Il y eut donc, à cause de lui, division parmi la foule.
44 Quelques-uns d'entre eux voulaient le saisir, mais personne ne mit la main sur lui.
45 Ainsi les huissiers retournèrent vers les principaux sacrificateurs et les pharisiens. Et ceux-ci leur dirent: Pourquoi ne l'avez-vous pas amené?
46 Les huissiers répondirent: Jamais homme n'a parlé comme cet homme.
47 Les pharisiens leur répliquèrent: Est-ce que vous aussi, vous avez été séduits?
48 Y a-t-il quelqu'un des chefs ou des pharisiens qui ait cru en lui?
49 Mais cette foule qui ne connaît pas la loi, ce sont des maudits!
50 Nicodème, qui était venu de nuit vers Jésus, et qui était l'un d'entre eux, leur dit:
51 Notre loi condamne-t-elle un homme avant qu'on l'entende et qu'on sache ce qu'il a fait?
52 Ils lui répondirent: Es-tu aussi Galiléen? Examine, et tu verras que de la Galilée il ne sort point de prophète.
53 Et chacun s'en retourna dans sa maison.
