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.

7 · kai After meta this houtos Jesus Iēsous traveled peripateō about · ho in en · ho Galilee Galilaia; he chose thelō not ou to remain peripateō in en · ho Judea Ioudaia, because hoti the ho Jews Ioudaios were seeking zēteō to kill apokteinō him autos. 2 Now de the ho Jewish Ioudaios festival heortē of Tabernacles skēnopēgia was eimi near engys. · ho · ho 3 So oun his autos brothers adelphos said legō to pros him autos, · ho “ You should leave metabainō here enteuthen and kai go hypagō to eis · ho Judea Ioudaia so hina that your sy disciples mathētēs also kai · ho may observe theōreō the ho works ergon that hos you are doing poieō. 4 For gar no oudeis one acts poieō in en secret kryptos if kai he autos desires zēteō public recognition en. If ei you are doing poieō these houtos things , show phaneroō yourself seautou to the ho world kosmos.” 5 ( You see gar, not oude even · ho his autos brothers adelphos had confidence pisteuō in eis him autos.) 6 So oun Jesus Iēsous said legō to them autos, · ho · ho “ My emos time kairos · ho has not oupō yet come pareimi, · ho but de your hymeteros time kairos · ho is eimi always pantote here hetoimos. 7 The ho world kosmos cannot ou dynamai hate miseō you hymeis, but de it hates miseō me egō because hoti I egō am bearing martyreō witness against peri it autos that hoti · ho its autos works ergon are eimi evil ponēros. 8 You go anabainō up to eis the ho festival heortē yourselves hymeis; I egō am not ou going anabainō up to eis · ho this houtos festival heortē, for hoti · ho my emos time kairos has not oupō yet fully come plēroō.” 9 Having said legō this houtos, · de he autos stayed menō behind in en · ho Galilee Galilaia.
10 However de, when hōs his autos brothers adelphos had gone anabainō up · ho to eis the ho festival heortē, then tote Jesus himself autos also kai went anabainō up , not ou openly phanerōs, but alla as hōs it were , in en private kryptos. 11 The ho Jews Ioudaios were looking zēteō for him autos at en the ho festival heortē, and kai saying legō, “ Where pou is eimi that ekeinos man ?” 12 And kai there was eimi a lot polys of secret gongysmos discussion about peri him autos among en the ho crowds ochlos; some ho were saying legō, “ He is eimi a good agathos man ,” but de others allos were saying legō, “ No ou, to the contrary alla, he is leading people ochlos astray planaō.” · ho 13 No oudeis one , however mentoi, was speaking laleō openly parrēsia about peri him autos for dia · ho fear phobos of the ho Jews Ioudaios.
14 About ēdē · de halfway through mesoō the ho festival heortē Jesus Iēsous went anabainō up to eis the ho temple hieron and kai began to teach didaskō. 15 The ho Jews Ioudaios were astonished thaumazō, and they asked legō, “ How pōs does oida this houtos man know oida the sacred letters gramma, having never mē studied manthanō?” 16 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, them autos, · ho · kai saying legō, · ho “ My emos teaching didachē is eimi not ou mine emos, but alla it comes from the ho one who sent pempō me egō. 17 If ean anyone tis is willing thelō to do poieō God’ s autos · ho will thelēma, he will know ginōskō about peri the ho teaching didachē, whether poteron it comes eimi from ek · ho God theos or ē whether I egō am speaking laleō on apo my emautou own authority. 18 The ho one who speaks laleō on apo his heautou own authority seeks zēteō · ho his own idios honor doxa; · ho but de the ho one who seeks zēteō the ho honor doxa of the ho one who sent pempō him autos is eimi truthful alēthēs, and kai in en him autos there is eimi nothing ou false adikia.
19 “ Has not ou Moses Mōysēs given didōmi you hymeis the ho law nomos? Yet kai not oudeis one of ek you hymeis keeps poieō the ho law nomos. Why tis are you trying zēteō to kill apokteinō me egō?” 20 The ho crowd ochlos answered apokrinomai, “ You have echō a demon daimonion! Who tis is trying zēteō to kill apokteinō you sy?” 21 Jesus Iēsous answered apokrinomai, · kai saying legō to them autos, “ I performed poieō one heis work ergon, and kai you are all pas astonished thaumazō. 22 For dia this houtos reason Moses Mōysēs gave didōmi you hymeis · ho circumcision peritomē— not ou that hoti it is eimi from ek · ho Moses Mōysēs, but alla from ek the ho patriarchs patēr— and kai you circumcise peritemnō a man anthrōpos on en the Sabbath sabbaton. 23 If ei a man anthrōpos receives lambanō circumcision peritomē on en the Sabbath sabbaton so hina that the ho law nomos of Moses Mōysēs may not mē be broken lyō, why are you angry cholaō with me egō because hoti I made poieō an entire holos man anthrōpos well hygiēs on en the Sabbath sabbaton? 24 Do not mē judge krinō according kata to appearance opsis, but alla judge krinō with ho proper dikaios judgment krisis.”
25 Then oun some tis of ek the ho people of Jerusalem Hierosolymitēs began to say legō, “ Is eimi not ou this houtos the man whom hos they are trying zēteō to kill apokteinō? 26 And kai look ide, he is speaking laleō boldly parrēsia and kai they are saying legō nothing oudeis to him autos. Is it possible mēpote that our ho rulers archōn know ginōskō for sure alēthōs that hoti this houtos man is eimi the ho Christ Christos? 27 Yet alla we know oida where this houtos man is eimi from pothen; when hotan the ho · de Christ Christos appears erchomai, no oudeis one will know ginōskō where pothen he is eimi from.” 28 Then oun Jesus Iēsous, as he was teaching didaskō in en the ho temple hieron, · ho cried out krazō, · kai saying legō, “ You know oida me kagō, and kai you know oida where pothen I am eimi from? · kai I have erchomai not ou come erchomai on apo my emautou own . But alla the ho one who sent pempō me egō is eimi true alēthinos, and him hos you hymeis do not ou know oida; 29 but I egō know oida him autos, because hoti I am eimi from para him autos and he kakeinos it is who sent apostellō me egō.” 30 So oun they were anxious zēteō to arrest piazō him autos, but kai no oudeis one laid epiballō a hand cheir on epi him autos, · ho because hoti his autos hour hōra had not oupō yet come erchomai. · ho 31 Yet de many polys of ek the ho crowd ochlos believed pisteuō in eis him autos, · kai saying legō, “ When hotan the ho Christ Christos comes erchomai, he will poieō not mē perform poieō more polys miraculous sēmeion signs than hos this houtos man has poieō, will he?”
32 The ho Pharisees Pharisaios heard akouō the ho crowd ochlos secretly discussing gongyzō these things houtos about peri Jesus autos, so kai the ho chief priests archiereus and kai Pharisees Pharisaios sent apostellō · ho temple hypēretēs guards to hina arrest piazō him autos. 33 Then oun Jesus Iēsous said legō, · ho “ I will be eimi with meta you hymeis for a little mikros while chronos longer eti, and kai then I am going hypagō back to pros the ho one who sent pempō me egō. 34 You will look zēteō for me egō, but kai you will not ou find heuriskō me egō; and kai where hopou I egō am eimi, you hymeis cannot ou dynamai go erchomai.” 35 Then oun the ho Jews Ioudaios said legō to pros one heautou another , “ Where pou is this houtos man about mellō to go poreuō that hoti we hēmeis will not ou find heuriskō him autos? Surely he is mellō not mē going mellō to go poreuō to eis our ho people dispersed diaspora among the ho Greeks Hellēn and kai teach didaskō the ho Greeks Hellēn, is he ? 36 What tis can it mean eimi, · ho this houtos saying logos of his hos: ‘ You will look zēteō for me egō but kai you will not ou find heuriskō me egō,’ and kai ‘ Where hopou I egō am eimi you hymeis cannot ou dynamai go erchomai’?”
37 On en · de the ho last eschatos day hēmera of the ho festival heortē, the ho great megas day, Jesus Iēsous stood histēmi · ho and kai cried krazō out , saying legō, “ If ean anyone tis is thirsty dipsaō, let him come erchomai to pros me egō and kai drink pinō. 38 The ho one who believes pisteuō in eis me egō, as kathōs the ho scripture graphē says legō, “ Out ek of ho his autos heart koilia will flow rheō rivers potamos of living zaō water hydōr.’” 39 Now de he said legō this houtos about peri the ho Spirit pneuma, which hos those ho who believed pisteuō in eis him autos were mellō to receive lambanō; for gar the Spirit pneuma was not oupō yet present eimi, because hoti Jesus Iēsous had not oudepō yet been glorified doxazō.
