João 7

1E depois disto andava Jesus na Galileia; e já não queria andar na Judeia, porque os judeus procuravam matá-lo. 2E já estava perto a festa dos tabernáculos dos judeus. 3Disseram-lhe pois seus irmãos: Parti daqui, e vai-te para a Judeia, para que também teus discípulos vejam as tuas obras que fazes. 4Pois ninguém que procura ser conhecido faz coisa alguma em oculto. Se fazes estas coisas, manifesta-te ao mundo. 5Porque nem mesmo os seus irmãos criam nele. 6Então Jesus lhes disse: Meu tempo ainda não é chegado; mas vosso tempo sempre está pronto. 7O mundo não pode vos odiar, mas a mim me odeia, porque dele testemunho que suas obras são más. 8Subi vós para esta festa; eu não subo ainda a esta festa, porque ainda meu tempo não é cumprido. 9E havendo-lhes dito isto, ficou na Galileia. 10Mas havendo seus irmãos já subido, então subiu ele também à festa, não abertamente, mas como em oculto. 11Buscavam-no pois os judeus na festa, e diziam: Onde ele está? 12E havia grande murmuração dele nas multidões. Alguns diziam: Ele é Bom;e outros diziam: Não; ele, porém, engana a multidão. 13Todavia ninguém falava dele abertamente, com medo dos judeus. 14Porém no meio da festa subiu Jesus ao Templo, e ensinava. 15E maravilhavam-se os Judeus, dizendo: Como este sabe as Escrituras, não as havendo aprendido? 16Respondeu-lhes Jesus, e disse: Minha doutrina não é minha, mas sim daquele que me enviou. 17Se alguém quiser fazer sua vontade, da doutrina conhecerá, se é de Deus, ou se eu falo de mim mesmo. 18Quem fala de si mesmo busca sua própria honra; mas quem busca a honra daquele que o enviou, esse é verdadeiro, e não há nele injustiça. 19Não vos deu Moisés a Lei? Mas ninguém de vós cumpre a Lei. Por que procurais me matar? 20Respondeu a multidão, e disse: Tens demônio; quem procura te matar? 21Respondeu Jesus, e disse-lhes: Uma obra fiz, e todos vos maravilhais. 22Por isso Moisés vos deu a circuncisão (não porque seja de Moisés, mas dois pais) e no sábado circuncidais ao homem. 23Se o homem recebe a circuncisão no sábado, para que a Lei de Moisés não seja quebrada, irritai-vos comigo, porque no sábado curei por completo um homem? 24Não julgueis segundo a aparência, mas julgai juízo justo. 25Diziam, pois, alguns dos de Jerusalém: Não é este ao que procuram matar? 26E eis que ele fala livremente, e nada lhe dizem; por acaso é verdade que os chefes sabem que este realmente é o Cristo? 27Mas este bem sabemos de onde é: Porém quando vier o Cristo, ninguém saberá de onde é. 28Exclamava pois Jesus no Templo, ensinando, e dizendo: E a mim me conheceis, e sabeis de onde sou; e eu não vim de mim mesmo; mas aquele que me enviou é verdadeiro, ao qual vós não conheceis. 29Porém eu o conheço, porque dele sou, e ele me enviou. 30Procuravam pois prendê-lo, mas ninguém pôs a mão nele, porque sua hora ainda não era vinda. 31E muitos da multidão creram nele, e diziam: Quando o Cristo vier, fará ainda mais sinais do que os que este tem feito? 32Ouviram os fariseus que a multidão murmurava estas coisas sobre ele; e os fariseus e os chefes dos Sacerdotes mandaram oficiais para prendê-lo. 33Disse-lhes pois Jesus: Ainda um pouco de tempo estou convosco, e então me irei para aquele que me enviou. 34Vós me buscareis, mas não me achareis; e onde eu estou vós não podeis vir. 35Disseram, pois, os judeus uns aos outros: Para onde este se irá, que não o acharemos? Por acaso ele irá aos dispersos entre os gregos, e a ensinar aos gregos? 36Que palavra é esta que disse: Vós me buscareis, mas não me achareis; e onde eu estou vós não podeis vir? 37E no último e grande dia da festa se pôs Jesus em pé, e exclamou, dizendo: Se alguém tem sede, venha a mim, e beba. 38Quem crê em mim, como diz a Escritura, rios de água viva correrão do interior de seu corpo. 39(E ele disse isto do Espírito que receberiam aqueles que nele cressem; pois o Espírito Santo ainda não era vindo ,porque Jesus ainda não havia sido glorificado). 40Então muitos da multidão, ouvindo esta palavra, diziam: Verdadeiramente este é o Profeta. 41Outros diziam: Este é o Cristo; e outros diziam: Por acaso vem o Cristo da Galileia? 42Não diz a Escritura que o Cristo virá da semente de Davi, e da aldeia de Belém, de onde era Davi? 43Por isso havia divisão de opiniões na multidão por causa dele. 44E alguns deles queriam prendê-lo, mas ninguém pôs a mão nele. 45Vieram pois os oficiais dos sacerdotes e fariseus; e eles lhes disseram: Por que não o trouxestes? 46Os oficiais responderam: Ninguém jamais falou assim como este homem. 47Responderam-lhes, pois, os fariseus: Estais vós também enganados? 48Por acaso algum dos chefes ou dos fariseus creu nele? 49Mas esta multidão, que não sabe a Lei, maldita é. 50Disse-lhes Nicodemos, o que viera a ele de noite, que era um deles: 51Por acaso nossa Lei julga ao homem sem primeiro o ouvir, e entender o que faz? 52Responderam eles, e disseram: És tu também da Galileia? Pesquisa, e vê que nenhum profeta se levantou da Galileia. 53«E cada um foi para sua casa.

1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him. 2Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand. 3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here, and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do. 4For no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.” 5For even his brothers didn’t believe in him. 6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil. 8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.” 9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee. 10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret. 11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?” 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.” 13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews. 14But when it was now the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?” 16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 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. 18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. 19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?” 20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it. 22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy. 23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath? 24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.” 25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill? 26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ? 27However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.” 28Jesus 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. 29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.” 30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?” 32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him. 33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me. 34You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come.” 35The Jews 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? 36What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me; and where I am, you can’t come’?” 37Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink! 38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.” 39But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified. 40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.” 41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee? 42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43So there arose a division in the multitude because of him. 44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him. 45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?” 46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!” 47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you? 48Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees? 49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is accursed.” 50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them, 51“Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?” 52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search, and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.” 53Everyone went to his own house,

1En na dezen wandelde Jezus in Galilea; want Hij wilde in Judea niet wandelen, omdat de Joden Hem zochten te doden. 2En het feest der Joden, namelijk de loof huttenzetting, was nabij. 3Zo zeiden dan Zijn broeders tot Hem: Vertrek van hier, en ga heen in Judea, opdat ook Uw discipelen Uw werken mogen aanschouwen, die Gij doet. 4Want niemand doet iets in het verborgen, en zoekt zelf, dat men openlijk van hem spreke. Indien Gij deze dingen doet, zo openbaar Uzelven aan de wereld. 5Want ook Zijn broeders geloofden niet in Hem. 6Jezus dan zeide tot hen: Mijn tijd is nog niet hier, maar uw tijd is altijd bereid. 7De wereld kan ulieden niet haten, maar Mij haat zij, omdat Ik van dezelve getuig, dat haar werken boos zijn. 8Gaat gijlieden op tot dit feest; Ik ga nog niet op tot dit feest; want Mijn tijd is nog niet vervuld. 9En als Hij deze dingen tot hen gezegd had, bleef Hij in Galilea. 10Maar als Zijn broeders opgegaan waren, toen ging Hij ook Zelf op tot het feest, niet openlijk, maar als in het verborgen. 11De Joden dan zochten Hem in het feest, en zeiden: Waar is Hij? 12En er was veel gemurmels van Hem onder de scharen. Sommigen zeiden: Hij is goed; en anderen zeiden: Neen, maar Hij verleidt de schare. 13Nochtans sprak niemand vrijmoediglijk van Hem, om de vrees der Joden. 14Doch als het nu in het midden van het feest was, zo ging Jezus op in den tempel, en leerde. 15En de Joden verwonderden zich, zeggende: Hoe weet Deze de Schriften, daar Hij ze niet geleerd heeft? 16Jezus antwoordde hun, en zeide: Mijn leer is Mijne niet, maar Desgenen, Die Mij gezonden heeft. 17Zo iemand wil Deszelfs wil doen, die zal van deze leer bekennen, of zij uit God is, dan of Ik van Mijzelven spreek. 18Die van zichzelven spreekt, zoekt zijn eigen eer; maar Die de eer zoekt Desgenen, Die Hem gezonden heeft, Die is waarachtig, en geen ongerechtigheid is in Hem. 19Heeft Mozes u niet de wet gegeven? En niemand van u doet de wet. Wat zoekt gij Mij te doden? 20De schare antwoordde en zeide: Gij hebt den duivel; wie zoekt U te doden? 21Jezus antwoordde en zeide tot hen: Een werk heb Ik gedaan, en gij verwondert u allen. 22Daarom heeft Mozes ulieden de besnijdenis gegeven (niet dat zij uit Mozes is, maar uit de vaderen), en gij besnijdt een mens op den sabbat. 23Indien een mens de besnijdenis ontvangt op den sabbat, opdat de wet van Mozes niet gebroken worde; zijt gij toornig op Mij, dat Ik een gehelen mens gezond gemaakt heb op den sabbat? 24Oordeelt niet naar het aanzien, maar oordeelt een rechtvaardig oordeel. 25Sommigen dan uit die van Jeruzalem zeiden: Is Deze niet, Dien zij zoeken te doden? 26En ziet, Hij spreekt vrijmoediglijk, en zij zeggen Hem niets. Zouden nu wel de oversten waarlijk weten, dat Deze waarlijk is de Christus? 27Doch van Dezen weten wij, van waar Hij is; maar de Christus, wanneer Hij komen zal, zo zal niemand weten, van waar Hij is. 28Jezus dan riep in den tempel, lerende en zeggende: En gij kent Mij, en gij weet, van waar Ik ben; en Ik ben van Mijzelven niet gekomen, maar Hij is waarachtig, Die Mij gezonden heeft, Welken gijlieden niet kent. 29Maar Ik ken Hem; want Ik ben van Hem, en Hij heeft Mij gezonden. 30Zij zochten Hem dan te grijpen; maar niemand sloeg de hand aan Hem; want Zijn ure was nog niet gekomen. 31En velen uit de schare geloofden in Hem, en zeiden: Wanneer de Christus zal gekomen zijn, zal Hij ook meer tekenen doen dan die, welke Deze gedaan heeft? 32De Farizeen hoorden, dat de schare dit van Hem murmelde; en de Farizeen en de overpriesters zonden dienaren, opdat zij Hem grijpen zouden. 33Jezus dan zeide tot hen: Nog een kleinen tijd ben Ik bij u, en Ik ga heen tot Dengene, Die Mij gezonden heeft. 34Gij zult Mij zoeken, en gij zult Mij niet vinden; en waar Ik ben, kunt gij niet komen. 35De Joden dan zeiden tot elkander: Waar zal Deze heengaan, dat wij Hem niet zullen vinden? Zal Hij tot de verstrooide Grieken gaan, en de Grieken leren? 36Wat is dit voor een rede, die Hij gezegd heeft: Gij zult Mij zoeken, en zult Mij niet vinden; en waar Ik ben, kunt gij niet komen? 37En op den laatsten dag, zijnde de grote dag van het feest, stond Jezus en riep, zeggende: Zo iemand dorst, die kome tot Mij en drinke. 38Die in Mij gelooft, gelijkerwijs de Schrift zegt, stromen des levenden waters zullen uit zijn buik vloeien. 39(En dit zeide Hij van den Geest, Denwelken ontvangen zouden, die in Hem geloven; want de Heilige Geest was nog niet, overmits Jezus nog niet verheerlijkt was.) 40Velen dan uit de schare, deze rede horende, zeiden: Deze is waarlijk de Profeet. 41Anderen zeiden: Deze is de Christus. En anderen zeiden: Zal dan de Christus uit Galilea komen? 42Zegt de Schrift niet, dat de Christus komen zal uit den zade Davids, en van het vlek Bethlehem, waar David was? 43Er werd dan tweedracht onder de schare, om Zijnentwil. 44En sommigen van hen wilden Hem grijpen; maar niemand sloeg de handen aan Hem. 45De dienaars dan kwamen tot de overpriesters en Farizeen; en die zeiden tot hen: Waarom hebt gij Hem niet gebracht? 46De dienaars antwoordden: Nooit heeft een mens alzo gesproken, gelijk deze Mens. 47De Farizeen dan antwoordden hun: Zijt ook gijlieden verleid? 48Heeft iemand uit de oversten in Hem geloofd, of uit de Farizeen? 49Maar deze schare, die de wet niet weet, is vervloekt. 50Nicodemus zeide tot hen, welke des nachts tot Hem gekomen was, zijnde een uit hen: 51Oordeelt ook onze wet den mens, tenzij dat zij eerst van hem gehoord heeft, en verstaat, wat hij doet? 52Zij antwoordden en zeiden tot hem: Zijt gij ook uit Galilea? Onderzoek en zie, dat uit Galilea geen profeet opgestaan is. 53En een iegelijk ging heen naar zijn huis.
