John 7TYN

1After that Jesus went about into Galilee, and would not go about in Jewry, for the jews sought to kill him.

2The jews' tabernacle feast was at hand.

3His brethren therefore said unto him: Get thyself(thee) hence and go into Jewry that thy disciples may see thy works that thou doest.

4(For) There is no man that doeth any thing secretly, and he himself seeketh to be known. If thou do such things, shew thyself to the world.

5For as yet his brethren believed not in him.

6Then Jesus said unto them: My time is not yet come, your time is alway ready.

7The world cannot hate you. Me it hateth: Because I testify of it, that the works of it are evil.

8Go ye up unto this feast, I will not go up yet unto this feast, for my time is not yet full come.

9These words he said unto them, and abode still in Galilee.

10(But) As soon as his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly: but as it were privily.

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

12And much murmuring was there of him among the people. Some said: He is good. Other said nay, but he deceiveth the people.

13(Howbeit) No man spake openly of him, for fear of the jews.

14In the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

15And the jews marveled, saying: How knoweth he the scriptures? seeing that he never learned.

16Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine: but his that sent me.

17If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God: or whether I spake(speak) of myself.

18He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own praise. But he that seeketh his praise that sent him, he(the same) is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19Did not Moses give you a law? And yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

20The people answered and said: Thou hast the devil. Who goeth about to kill thee?

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

22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision, not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Sabbath day circumcise a man.

23If a man on the Sabbath day receive circumcision without breaking of the law of Moses: Disdain ye at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day?

24Judge not after the utter appearance: but judge righteous judgement.

25Then said some of them of Jerusalem: Is not this he whom they go about to kill?

26behold he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do not our rulers(Do the rulers) know in deed, that this is very Christ?

27But(Howbeit) we know this man whence he is, but when Christ cometh, no man shall know whence he is.

28Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught saying: And me ye know, and whence I am ye know: and (yet) I am not come of myself. But he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

29I know him: (And if I say that I know him not, I shall be a lier like unto you, but I know him) For I am of him, and he hath sent me.

30Then sought the jews(they) to take him, but no man laid hands on him, because his time was not yet come.

31Many of the people believed on him, and said: When Christ cometh: Will he do more miracles than this man hath done?

32The pharisees heard that the people murmured such things about him: and(Wherefore) the pharisees and scribes(hye priests) sent ministers(servants) forth to take him.

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

34Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: And where I am, thither can ye not come.

35Then said the jews between themselves: Whither will he go? that we shall not find him. Will he go among the gentiles, which are scattered all abroad, and teach the gentiles?

36What manner of saying is this that he said: ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: And where I am, thither can ye not come?

37In 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.

38Whosoever(He that) believeth on me, as sayeth the scripture, out of his belly shall flow rivers of water of life.

39This spake he of the spirit, which they that believed on him should receive. For the holy ghost was not yet there, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

40Many of the people, when they heard this saying said: This is, no doubt,(of a truth) a Prophet.

41Other said: this is Christ. Some said: shall Christ come out of Galilee?

42Saith not the scripture that Christ shall come of the seed of David: and out of the town of Bethlehem where David was?

43So was there dissension among the people for his sake.(about him.)

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

45Then came the ministers(servants) to the high priests, and pharisees. And they said unto them: why have ye not brought him?

46The servants answered: never man spake as this man speaketh.(doeth.)

47Then answered them the pharisees: are ye also deceived?

48Doth any of the rulers, or of the pharisees believe on him?

49But the common people which know not the law are accursed.

50Nicodemus said unto them (He that came to Jesus by night which(and) was one of them.)

51Doth our law judge any man, before it be heard,(hear him) and known, what he hath done?

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

53And every man went unto his own house.
