John 7 — OURB
7Verse 1After these things, Yeshua [Salvation] was walking in Galilee [District, Circuit], for he would not walk in Judea [Praise], because the Jews [Praisers] sought to kill him.Verse 2Now the festival of Sukkot ·Tabernacles·, the Festival of Booths, was at hand. (The seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]·+15th day).Verse 3+His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea [Praise], that your disciples also may see your works which you do.Verse 4For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”Verse 5For even his brothers didn’t trust in him.Verse 6Yeshua [Salvation] therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.Verse 7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.Verse 8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”Verse 9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee [District, Circuit].Verse 10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.Verse 11The Jews [Praisers] therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”Verse 12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”Verse 13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews [Praisers].Verse 14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua [Salvation] went up into the temple and taught.Verse 15+The Jews [Praisers] therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much, without having studied?”Verse 16Yeshua [Salvation] therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.Verse 17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.Verse 18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no sinfulness ·legal injustice that misses the mark and is without share in the goal· is in him.Verse 19Didn’t Moses [Drawn out] give you the Torah ·Teaching·? Yet none of you keeps Torah ·Teaching·! Why do you seek to kill me?”Verse 20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”Verse 21Yeshua [Salvation] answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.Verse 22Moses [Drawn out] has given you circumcision+(not that it is of Moses [Drawn out], but of the Patriarchs), and on the Sabbath ·To cease· you circumcise a boy.Verse 23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath ·To cease·, that the Torah ·Teaching· of Moses [Drawn out] may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath ·To cease·?Verse 24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge upright judgment.”Verse 25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem [City of peace] said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?Verse 26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah [Anointed one]?Verse 27However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, no one will know where he comes from.”Verse 28Yeshua [Salvation] therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.Verse 29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”Verse 30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.Verse 31But of the multitude, many trusted in him. They said, “When the Messiah [Anointed one] comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”Verse 32The Pharisees [Separated] heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees [Separated] sent officers to arrest him.Verse 33Then Yeshua [Salvation] said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.Verse 34You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.”Verse 35The Jews [Praisers] therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?Verse 36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’?”Verse 37++Now on the last day of the festival+(of Tabernacles, the seventh day called Hoshana Rabbah ·Save now Great·, the seventh month Ethanim ·Ever-flowing durable stream (in Hebrew), 7· or Tishrei ·[Beginning (in Babylonian)]· 21st day)), Yeshua [Salvation] stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty,+let him come to me and drink!Verse 38+Whoever puts his trust in me, as the Scripture says, rivers of living water+will flow from his inmost being!”Verse 39But he said this about the Ruach ·Spirit, Breath·, which those trusting in him were to receive. For the Holy Ruach ·Spirit, Breath·+was not yet given, because Yeshua [Salvation] was not yet glorified.Verse 40+Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”+Verse 41Others said, “This is the Messiah [Anointed one].” But some said, “What, does the Messiah [Anointed one] come out of Galilee [District, Circuit]?Verse 42+Has not the Scripture said that the Messiah [Anointed one] comes of the offspring of David [Beloved],+and from Bethlehem [House of Bread],+the village where David [Beloved] lived?”+Verse 43So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.Verse 44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.Verse 45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees [Separated], and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”Verse 46+The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”Verse 47The Pharisees [Separated] therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?Verse 48Have any of the rulers trusted in him, or of the Pharisees [Separated]?Verse 49True, these 'am-ha'aretz ·people of the land· do, but they know nothing about the Torah ·Teaching·, they are under a curse!”Verse 50Nicodemus [Victory people] (he who came to him by night, being one of the Pharisees [Separated]) said to them,Verse 51“Our Torah ·Teaching· does not condemn a man, does it, until after hearing from him personally and finding out what he’s doing?”Verse 52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee [District, Circuit]? Search, and see that+no prophet has arisen out of Galilee [District, Circuit].”Verse 53Everyone went to his own house.
