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。 当时犹太人的住棚节近了, 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。 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。” 因为连他的弟兄说这话,是因为不信他。 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。 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。 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。” 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。”

2 Christ, after his cousins were gone up to the feast of Tabernacles, 10 goeth thither privily. 12 The people’s sundry opinions of him. 14 He teacheth in the Temple. 32 The Priests command to take him. 41 Strife among the multitude about him, 47 and between the Pharisees and the officers that were sent to take him, 50 and Nicodemus.

After these things, Jesus walked in Galilee, and would not walk in Judea: for the Jews sought to kill him.

Now the Jews’ (A)[a]feast of the Tabernacles was at hand.

[b]His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy disciples may see thy works that thou doest.

For there is no man that doeth anything secretly, and he himself seeketh to be famous. If thou doest these things, show thyself to the world.

For as yet his [c]brethren believed not in him.

[d]Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always ready.

The world cannot hate you: but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.

Go ye up unto this feast: I will not go up yet unto this feast: (B)for my time is not yet fulfilled.

¶ These things he said unto them, and abode still in Galilee.

10 [e]But as soon as his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were privily.

11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

12 And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay: but he deceiveth the people.

13 Howbeit no man spake [f]openly of him for fear of the Jews.

14 [g]Now when [h]half the feast was done, Jesus went up into the Temple, and taught.

15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that he never learned!

16 [i]Jesus answered them, and said, [j]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 [k]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 (C)[l]Did not Moses give you a Law, and yet none of you keepeth the Law? (D)Why go ye about to kill me?

20 The people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

21 [m]Jesus answered, and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

22 (E)Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision, (not because it is of Moses, but of the (F)fathers) and ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

23 If a man on the Sabbath receive circumcision, that the [n]Law of Moses should not be broken, be ye angry with me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?

24 (G)[o]Judge not [p]according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

25 [q]Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they go about to kill?

26 And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him: do the rulers know indeed that this is indeed that Christ?

27 [r]Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when that Christ cometh, no man shall know whence he is.

28 [s]Then cried Jesus in the Temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and know whence I am: yet am I not come of myself, but he that sent me, is true, whom ye know not.

29 But I know him: for I am of him, and he hath sent me.

30 [t]Then they sought to take him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

31 Now many of the people believed on him, and said, When that Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?

32 [u]The Pharisees heard that the people murmured these things of him, and the Pharisees, and high Priests sent officers to take him.

33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet am I a little while with you, and then go I unto him that sent me.

34 (H)Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me, and where I am, can ye not come.

35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto them that are [v]dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

36 What saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me? and where I am, can ye not come?

37 [w]Now in the [x]last and (I)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 in me, (J)as saith the [y]Scripture, out of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life.

39 ((K)This spake he of the Spirit, which they that believed in him, should receive: for the [z]holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet [aa]glorified.)

40 [ab]So many of the people, when they heard this saying, said, (L)Of a truth this is that Prophet:

41 Others said, This is that Christ: and some said, But shall that Christ come out of Galilee?

42 (M)Saith not the Scripture that that Christ shall come of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?

43 So was there dissension among the people for him.

44 And some of them would have taken him, but no man laid hands on him.

45 [ac]Then came the officers to the high 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 [ad]Doth any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believe in him?

49 But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed,

50 Nicodemus said unto them, ((N)he that came to Jesus by night, and was one of them.)

51 Doth our Law judge a man before it hear him, (O)and know [ae]what he hath done?

52 They answered, and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no Prophet.

53 [af]And every man went unto his own house.

  24. John 7:37 The last day of the feast of Tabernacles, that as, the eighth day, was as high a day, as the first.
  25. John 7:38 This is not read word for word in any place, but it seemeth to be taken out of many places where mention is made of the gifts of the holy Ghost, as Joel 2; Isa. 44, but especially in Isa. 55.
  26. John 7:39 What is meant by the holy Ghost, he expressed a little before, speaking of the Spirit which they that believed in him should receive. So that by the name of holy Ghost, are meant the virtues and mighty workings of the holy Ghost.
