约翰福音 7
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
7 这事以后,耶稣在加利利游行,不愿在犹太游行,因为犹太人想要杀他。 2 当时犹太人的住棚节近了, 3 耶稣的弟兄就对他说:“你离开这里上犹太去吧,叫你的门徒也看见你所行的事。 4 人要显扬名声,没有在暗处行事的。你如果行这些事,就当将自己显明给世人看。” 5 因为连他的弟兄说这话,是因为不信他。 6 耶稣就对他们说:“我的时候还没有到,你们的时候常是方便的。 7 世人不能恨你们,却是恨我,因为我指证他们所做的事是恶的。 8 你们上去过节吧!我现在不上去过这节,因为我的时候还没有满。” 9 耶稣说了这话,仍旧住在加利利。
众人为耶稣纷纷议论
10 但他弟兄上去以后,他也上去过节,不是明去,似乎是暗去的。 11 正在节期,犹太人寻找耶稣,说:“他在哪里?” 12 众人为他纷纷议论,有的说:“他是好人。”有的说:“不然,他是迷惑众人的。” 13 只是没有人明明地讲论他,因为怕犹太人。
14 到了节期,耶稣上殿里去教训人。 15 犹太人就稀奇说:“这个人没有学过,怎么明白书呢?” 16 耶稣说:“我的教训不是我自己的,乃是那差我来者的。 17 人若立志遵着他的旨意行,就必晓得这教训或是出于神,或是我凭着自己说的。 18 人凭着自己说,是求自己的荣耀;唯有求那差他来者的荣耀,这人是真的,在他心里没有不义。
不可按外貌定是非
19 “摩西岂不是传律法给你们吗?你们却没有一个人守律法!为什么想要杀我呢?” 20 众人回答说:“你是被鬼附着了!谁想要杀你?” 21 耶稣说:“我做了一件事,你们都以为稀奇。 22 摩西传割礼给你们(其实不是从摩西起的,乃是从祖先起的),因此你们也在安息日给人行割礼。 23 人若在安息日受割礼,免得违背摩西的律法,我在安息日叫一个人全然好了,你们就向我生气吗? 24 不可按外貌断定是非,总要按公平断定是非。”
25 耶路撒冷人中有的说:“这不是他们想要杀的人吗? 26 你看,他还明明地讲道,他们也不向他说什么,难道官长真知道这是基督吗? 27 然而我们知道这个人从哪里来,只是基督来的时候,没有人知道他从哪里来。” 28 那时,耶稣在殿里教训人,大声说:“你们也知道我,也知道我从哪里来。我来并不是由于自己,但那差我来的是真的,你们不认识他。 29 我却认识他,因为我是从他来的,他也是差了我来。”
打发差役捉拿耶稣
30 他们就想要捉拿耶稣,只是没有人下手,因为他的时候还没有到。 31 但众人中间有好些信他的,说:“基督来的时候,他所行的神迹岂能比这人所行的更多吗?” 32 法利赛人听见众人为耶稣这样纷纷议论,祭司长和法利赛人就打发差役去捉拿他。 33 于是耶稣说:“我还有不多的时候和你们同在,以后就回到差我来的那里去。 34 你们要找我,却找不着,我所在的地方你们不能到。” 35 犹太人就彼此对问说:“这人要往哪里去,叫我们找不着呢?难道他要往散住希腊中的犹太人那里去教训希腊人吗? 36 他说‘你们要找我,却找不着,我所在的地方你们不能到’,这话是什么意思呢?”
渴者当来就耶稣
37 节期的末日,就是最大之日,耶稣站着高声说:“人若渴了,可以到我这里来喝! 38 信我的人就如经上所说,从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。” 39 耶稣这话是指着信他之人要受圣灵说的。那时还没有赐下圣灵来,因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。 40 众人听见这话,有的说:“这真是那先知!” 41 有的说:“这是基督。”但也有的说:“基督岂是从加利利出来的吗? 42 经上岂不是说基督是大卫的后裔,从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的吗?” 43 于是众人因着耶稣起了纷争。 44 其中有人要捉拿他,只是无人下手。
没有人像耶稣说话
45 差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里,他们对差役说:“你们为什么没有带他来呢?” 46 差役回答说:“从来没有像他这样说话的!” 47 法利赛人说:“你们也受了迷惑吗? 48 官长或是法利赛人岂有信他的呢? 49 但这些不明白律法的百姓是被咒诅的!” 50 内中有尼哥迪慕,就是从前去见耶稣的,对他们说: 51 “不先听本人的口供,不知道他所做的事,难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗?” 52 他们回答说:“你也是出于加利利吗?你且去查考,就可知道加利利没有出过先知。”

Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶穌的弟弟不信祂
7 之後,耶穌周遊加利利,不願去猶太地區,因為猶太人想要殺祂。 2 猶太人的住棚節快到了, 3 耶穌的弟弟們對祂說:「離開這裡,去猶太過節吧,好讓你的門徒在那裡也看見你所做的啊! 4 因為人想出名,都不會暗地裡行事,你既然可以做這些事,就把自己顯給世人看吧!」 5 原來連祂的弟弟們也不信祂。
6 耶穌對他們說:「我的時候還沒有到,你們什麼時候都很方便。 7 世人不會恨你們,只會恨我,因為我指證他們行為邪惡。 8 你們先去過節吧,我現在還不上去,因為我的時候還沒有到。」 9 耶穌說完這些話,仍留在加利利。
耶穌過住棚節
10 他們走了以後,耶穌避開了人們的注意,暗地裡上去過節。 11 節期到了,猶太人到處查問:「耶穌在哪裡?」
12 眾人對祂議論紛紛,有些人說:「祂是好人,」有些說:「不,祂欺騙民眾。」 13 不過,沒有人敢公開議論祂的事,因為害怕猶太人。
14 節期約過了一半,耶穌來到聖殿教導人。 15 猶太人感到驚奇,說:「這個人沒有受過教育,怎麼懂得這麼多呢?」
16 耶穌說:「我的教導不是出於我自己,而是出於差我來的那位。 17 如果你們願意遵行上帝的旨意,就能分辨這些教導是出於上帝,還是出於我自己。 18 憑自己講論的人是要尋求自己的榮耀,但人子真實無偽,毫無不義,祂是為了使差祂來的那位得榮耀。 19 摩西不是把律法傳給了你們嗎?你們卻沒有一個人遵守。為什麼想要殺我呢?」
20 眾人回答說:「你一定是被鬼附身了!誰要殺你啊?」
21 耶穌說:「我行了一件神蹟,你們都感到驚奇。 22 摩西把割禮傳給你們,你們也在安息日行割禮。其實割禮不是摩西定的,而是從祖先們的時代就有了。 23 為了避免違背摩西的律法,行割禮的那一天就算是安息日,你們還是照行。那麼,我在安息日使一個病人完全康復,你們為什麼責怪我呢? 24 不要根據外表來斷定是非,要按公義的原則判斷。」
耶穌是基督嗎
25 有些住在耶路撒冷的人說:「這不是他們要殺的那個人嗎? 26 你看祂這樣公開講道,居然沒有人說什麼,難道官長也真的認為祂是基督嗎? 27 可是基督來的時候,根本沒有人知道祂從哪裡來,我們卻知道這個人是從哪裡來的。」
28 於是,耶穌在聖殿裡高聲教導人說:「你們知道我是誰,也知道我是從哪裡來的。其實我來不是出於自己的意思,差我來的那位是真實的,你們不認識祂。 29 但我認識祂,因為我是從祂那裡來的,差我來的就是祂。」 30 他們聽了,想捉拿耶穌,只是沒有人下手,因為祂的時候還沒有到。
31 人群中有許多人信了耶穌,他們說:「基督來的時候所行的神蹟,難道會比這個人行得更多嗎?」
32 法利賽人聽見眾人這樣議論耶穌,就聯合祭司長派差役去抓祂。 33 耶穌對眾人說:「我暫時還會跟你們在一起,不久我要回到差我來的那位那裡。 34 那時你們要找我卻找不到,你們也不能去我所在的地方。」
35 猶太人彼此議論說:「祂要去哪裡使我們找不著呢?難道祂要到我們猶太人僑居的希臘各地去教導希臘人嗎? 36 祂說我們找不到祂,又不能去祂所在的地方,是什麼意思?」
活水的江河
37 節期最後一天,也是整個節期的高潮,耶穌站起來高聲說:「人若渴了,可以到我這裡來喝。 38 正如聖經所言,信我的人,『從他裡面要流出活水的江河來』。」 39 耶穌這話是指信祂的人要得到聖靈,但當時聖靈還沒有降臨,因為耶穌還沒有得到榮耀。
40 聽見這些話後,有些人說:「祂真是那位先知。」 41 也有些人說:「祂是基督。」還有些人說:「不會吧,基督怎麼會出自加利利呢? 42 聖經上不是說基督是大衛的後裔,要降生在大衛的故鄉伯利恆嗎?」 43 眾人因為對耶穌的看法不同,就起了紛爭。 44 有些人想抓祂,只是沒有人下手。
猶太官長不信耶穌
45 祭司長和法利賽人看見差役空手回來,就問:「你們為什麼不把祂帶來呢?」
46 差役答道:「從未有人像祂那樣說話!」
47 法利賽人說:「難道你們也被祂迷惑了嗎? 48 哪有官長和法利賽人信祂呢? 49 這群不明白律法的民眾該受咒詛!」
50 曾經夜訪耶穌、屬於他們當中一員的尼哥德慕說: 51 「難道不聽被告申辯,不查明事實真相,我們的律法就定祂的罪嗎?」
52 他們回答說:「難道你也是加利利人嗎?你去查查看,就會知道沒有先知是從加利利來的。」
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]

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.
