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 Standard Bible (Simplified)
耶稣的弟弟们不信
7 这些事以后，耶稣走遍加利利。原来他不愿意在犹太地区往来，因为那些犹太人想要杀害他。 2 犹太人的住棚节快到了， 3 耶稣的弟弟们对他说：“你离开这里到犹太去吧，好让你的门徒们也能看到你所做的事。 4 因为人不会又想要出名，又在隐秘中做事。你既然要做这些事，就把自己显明给世人看吧！” 5 原来连他的弟弟们也不信他。
6 耶稣对他们说：“我的时候还没有来到，而你们的时候随时都方便。 7 世界不能恨你们，却是恨我，因为我见证世界的行为是邪恶的。 8 你们上去过节吧，我现在不[a]上去，因为我的时候还没有到。” 9 说了这些话，耶稣仍然留在加利利地区。
耶稣在住棚节
10 不过当他的弟弟们上去过节以后，他也上去了，但没有公开，像是悄悄去的。 11 节日期间，那些犹太人搜寻耶稣，说：“那个人在哪里？” 12 人群中有许多人对他议论纷纷；有的说：“他是好人。”也有的说：“不，他是迷惑民众的。” 13 只是没有人公开地讲论他的事，因为怕那些犹太人。
14 可是住棚节已经过了一半，耶稣上圣殿去，开始教导人。 15 那些犹太人感到惊奇，说：“这个人没学过，怎么懂得经文呢？”
16 耶稣回答他们，说：“我的教导不是我自己的，而是那派我来者的。 17 人如果愿意遵行神的旨意，就会明白这教导究竟是从神而来的，还是我凭自己而讲的。 18 凭自己讲话的人，是寻求自己的荣耀；但是，寻求那派他来者之荣耀的，他才是真实的，在他里面没有不义。 19 摩西不是把律法传给你们了吗？你们当中却没有一个人遵行这律法。你们为什么想要杀我呢？”
20 众人回答：“你有鬼魔附身！谁想要杀你？”
21 耶稣对他们说：“我做了一件事，你们都感到惊奇。 22 摩西把割礼传给你们，你们就在安息日给人施行割礼——其实割礼不是从摩西开始的，而是从祖先开始的。 23 既然人在安息日受割礼，是为了不违犯摩西的律法；那么，因为我在安息日使一个人完全康复，你们就对我生气吗？ 24 不要按着外表做判断，而要按着公义做判断。”
基督的身份
25 有些耶路撒冷的人说：“这不是他们想要杀的那个人吗？ 26 看，他还在公开讲话，他们也没有对他说什么。难道首领们真的认为这个人就是[b]基督吗？ 27 可是，基督出现的时候，没有人会知道他从哪里来；而这个人，我们却很清楚他是从哪里来的。”
28 耶稣在圣殿里教导人，呼喊说：“你们认识我，也知道我是从哪里来的。其实我不是凭自己而来的；派我来的那一位是真实的，你们却不认识他； 29 而我认识他，因为我是从他而来，也是他差派了我。”
30 因此他们想要抓耶稣，只是没有人下手，因为他的时候还没有到。 31 但是人群中有许多人信了耶稣，他们说：“基督来的时候，难道会比这个人行更多的神迹吗？”
32 法利赛人听到了众人私下议论耶稣的这些事。于是祭司长们和法利赛人就派差役们去抓他。
33 耶稣说：“我与你们在一起的时候不多了，我要回到派我来的那一位面前。 34 你们将要寻找我，却找不到；我所在的地方，你们不能去。”
35 那些犹太人彼此问：“这个人要到哪里去，让我们找不到他呢？难道他要往散居在希腊人中的犹太侨民那里，去教导希腊人吗？ 36 他所说的‘你们将要寻找我，却找不到；我所在的地方，你们不能去’，这话是什么意思呢？”
有关圣灵的应许
37 节期的最后一天，也是最盛大的日子，耶稣站起来呼喊说：“如果有人渴了，就到我这里[c]来喝吧！ 38 信我的人，就如经上所说的，从他的腹中将要涌流出活水的江河。” 39 耶稣这话是指着信他的人所要领受的圣灵而说的。当时，圣灵[d]还没有临到[e]，因为耶稣还没有得荣耀。
群众因耶稣而分歧
40 众人听了这话，有些[f]人说：“这个人确实是那位先知！” 41 另有的说：“这个人就是基督。”还有的却说：“难道基督会出自加利利吗？ 42 经上不是说，基督是大卫的后裔，是出自大卫的故乡伯利恒吗？” 43 于是众人因耶稣就产生了分裂； 44 其中有些人想要抓他，可是没有人下手。
官员因耶稣而争辩
45 差役们回到祭司长们和法利赛人那里。那些人问：“为什么没有把他带来？”
46 差役们回答：“从来没有人像这个人[g]那样讲话！”
47 法利赛人说：“难道你们也被迷惑了吗？ 48 难道首领或法利赛人中有信他的吗？ 49 这不懂律法的民众是被诅咒的！”
50 他们当中有一个人，就是原先[h]来到耶稣那里的尼克迪莫，对他们说： 51 “如果不先听本人的口供，并且了解他做了什么，我们的律法就定不了他的罪，难道不是吗？”
52 他们回答说：“你也不会是加利利人吧？你去查一查看，先知是不会从加利利兴起的！”
53 然后他们每个人都回家去了。

Jesus’ Brothers Don’t Believe
7 After this, Jesus ·traveled [walked] around Galilee. He did not want to ·travel [walk] in Judea, because the ·Jewish leaders [L Jews] there ·wanted [sought] to kill him [see 5:18]. 2 [L But] It was [L near the] time for the Feast of ·Shelters [Tabernacles; Booths; C an important annual festival celebrating harvest, sometimes known as Ingathering, and commemorating the exodus from Egypt; Ex. 23:16; Lev. 23:33–44; Deut. 16:13–17]. 3 So Jesus’ brothers [C children of Joseph and Mary born after Jesus, or children of Joseph from a previous marriage; Mark 3:21, 31–35] said to him, “You should leave here and go to Judea so your ·followers [disciples] there can see the ·miracles [L works] you do. 4 [L For] Anyone who wants to be ·well [publicly] known does not ·hide what he does [L act in secret]. If you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 ([L For] Even Jesus’ brothers did not believe in him.)
6 [L Therefore] Jesus said to his brothers, “·The right time for me [L My time; 2:4] has not yet come, but any time is right for you [C they could go to Jerusalem anytime; but Jesus had a special destiny to fulfill there]. 7 The world cannot hate you [C because they are part of it], but it hates me, because I ·tell it [testify concerning; witness to] ·the evil things it does [L that its works are evil]. 8 So you go [L up] to the feast. I will not go [L up] yet[a] to this feast, because ·the right time for me [my time] has not yet ·come [fully come; L been fulfilled].” 9 After saying this, Jesus ·stayed [remained behind] in Galilee.
10 But after Jesus’ brothers had gone [L up] to the feast, Jesus went [L up] also. But he did not ·let people see him [L go publicly, but in secret]. 11 At the feast ·some people [the Jewish leaders; L the Jews] were ·looking for [watching for] him and saying, “Where is that man?”
12 Within the large crowd there, many people were ·whispering [arguing; murmuring; grumbling] to each other about Jesus. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others said, “No, he ·fools [deceives; misleads] the people.” 13 But no one was brave enough to talk about Jesus openly, because they were afraid of the ·elders [the Jewish leaders; L the Jews].
Jesus Teaches at the Feast
14 When the feast was about half over, Jesus went to the Temple [courts; 2:14] and began to teach. 15 The people ·were amazed [marveled] and said, “This man has never studied in school. How did he learn so much?”
16 Jesus answered them, “The things I teach are not my own, but they come from him who sent me [C God]. 17 If people ·choose [desire; want] to do ·what God wants [L God’s will], they will know that my teaching comes from God and not from me. 18 Those who ·teach their own ideas [speak with their own authority] are trying to get ·honor [glory] for themselves. But those who try to bring ·honor [glory] to the one who sent them speak the truth, and there is nothing ·false [or unrighteous] in them. [C The Greek here is singular (“But the one who…”), so Jesus is speaking especially about himself.] 19 Moses gave you the law [L Has not Moses given you the law?; Ex. 34:29–32], but none of you obeys that law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
20 The people answered, “A demon has come into you [L You have a demon]. We are not trying to kill you [L Who is trying to kill you?].”
21 Jesus ·said to [answered] them, “I did one ·miracle [L work; deed; 5:1–15], and you are all ·amazed [astonished]. 22 Moses gave you the law about circumcision [Ex. 12:44–49]. (But really Moses did not give you circumcision; it came from ·our ancestors [L the fathers/patriarchs; Gen. 17:9–14].) And yet you circumcise a ·baby boy [L person] on a Sabbath day. 23 If a ·baby boy [L person] can be circumcised on a Sabbath day ·to obey the law of Moses [L so the law of Moses may not be broken], 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 [outward appearances], but judge by ·what is really right [L right/just/righteous judgment].”
Is Jesus the Christ?
25 Then some of the people who lived in Jerusalem said, “·This is the man [L Isn’t this the man…?] they are trying to kill. 26 But he is ·teaching where everyone can see and hear him [L speaking publicly], and no one is ·trying to stop [L saying anything to] him. Maybe the ·leaders [rulers; authorities] have ·decided [come to recognize] he really is the ·Christ [Messiah]. 27 But we know where this man is from. Yet when the real ·Christ [Messiah] comes, no one will know where he comes from.” [C Some Jewish traditions claimed the Messiah would be unknown until he came to deliver Israel.]
28 Jesus, teaching in the Temple [courts; 2:14], cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. But I have not come ·by my own authority [on my own initiative; L from myself]. I was sent by the One who is true, whom you don’t know. 29 But I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30 When Jesus said this, they tried to ·seize [arrest] him. But no one was able to ·touch him [L lay a hand on him], because ·it was not yet the right time [L his hour had not yet come; see 2:4]. 31 But many ·of the people [L in the crowd] believed in Jesus. They said, “When the ·Christ [Messiah] comes, will he do more ·miracles [L signs] than this man has done?”
The Leaders Try to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees [see 1:24] heard the crowd ·whispering [arguing; murmuring; grumbling] these things about Jesus. So the leading priests and the Pharisees sent some Temple ·guards [police; officers] to ·arrest [seize] him. 33 [L Therefore] 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 [seek] me, but you will not find me. And you cannot come where I am [C in heaven].”
35 [L Therefore] ·Some people [The Jewish leaders; L 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 [L dispersion/scattering among the Greeks; C ever since the Babylonian exile many Jewish people had lived outside the land of Israel] and teach the Greek people there? [C The Jews often used “Greeks” for Gentiles generally.] 36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘You cannot come where I am’?”
Jesus Talks About the Spirit
37 On the last and ·most important [L greatest] day of the feast Jesus stood up and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. [C The feast of Shelters/Tabernacles featured a water pouring ritual that may stand in the background of Jesus’ speech.] 38 If anyone believes in me, rivers of living water will flow out from that person’s ·heart [L belly; gut], as the Scripture says [Is. 55:1; 58:11; Ezek. 47:1–12; Zech. 14:8, compare John 4:10–11; Rev. 7:17; 22:1].” 39 Jesus was talking about the Holy Spirit. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been ·raised to glory [glorified]. But later, those who believed in Jesus would receive the Spirit.
The People Argue About Jesus
40 When the people heard Jesus’ words, some of them said, “This man really is the Prophet [1:21; C the “prophet like Moses” of Deut. 18:15–18].”
41 Others said, “He is the ·Christ [Messiah].”
Still others said, “The ·Christ [Messiah] will not come from Galilee. 42 The Scripture says that the ·Christ [Messiah] will come from David’s ·family [offspring; L seed; 2 Sam. 7:12–16; Ps. 89:3–4; Is. 9:7; 55:3] and from Bethlehem, the ·town [village] where David lived [Mic. 5:2].” 43 So ·the people did not agree with each other [L there was a division in the crowd] about Jesus. 44 Some of them wanted to ·arrest [seize] him, but no one was able to ·touch [L lay a hand on] him.
Some Leaders Won’t Believe
45 [L Therefore] The Temple ·guards [police; officers] went back to the ·leading [T chief] priests and the Pharisees, who asked, “Why didn’t you bring Jesus?”
46 The ·guards [police; officers] answered, “·The words he says are greater than the words of any other person who has ever spoken [L No one has ever spoken like this]!”
47 [L Therefore] The Pharisees answered them, “So Jesus has ·fooled [deceived; led astray] you also! 48 Have any of the ·leaders [rulers; authorities] or the Pharisees believed in him? No! 49 But ·these people [L this crowd], who know nothing about the law, are ·under God’s curse [accursed].”
50 Nicodemus, who had gone to see Jesus before [see 3:1–21], was in that group. He said, 51 “·Our law does not [L Does our law…?] judge a person without hearing him and knowing what he has done.”
52 They answered, “Are you from Galilee, too? ·Study the Scriptures, and you will learn [L Search and see] that no prophet comes from Galilee.”
Some of the earliest surviving Greek copies do not contain 7:53—8:11.
|53 And everyone left and went home.
