約翰福音 7
Chinese Standard Bible (Traditional)
耶穌的弟弟們不信
7 這些事以後，耶穌走遍加利利。原來他不願意在猶太地區往來，因為那些猶太人想要殺害他。 2 猶太人的住棚節快到了， 3 耶穌的弟弟們對他說：「你離開這裡到猶太去吧，好讓你的門徒們也能看到你所做的事。 4 因為人不會又想要出名，又在隱祕中做事。你既然要做這些事，就把自己顯明給世人看吧！」 5 原來連他的弟弟們也不信他。
6 耶穌對他們說：「我的時候還沒有來到，而你們的時候隨時都方便。 7 世界不能恨你們，卻是恨我，因為我見證世界的行為是邪惡的。 8 你們上去過節吧，我現在不[a]上去，因為我的時候還沒有到。」 9 說了這些話，耶穌仍然留在加利利地區。
耶穌在住棚節
10 不過當他的弟弟們上去過節以後，他也上去了，但沒有公開，像是悄悄去的。 11 節日期間，那些猶太人搜尋耶穌，說：「那個人在哪裡？」 12 人群中有許多人對他議論紛紛；有的說：「他是好人。」也有的說：「不，他是迷惑民眾的。」 13 只是沒有人公開地講論他的事，因為怕那些猶太人。
14 可是住棚節已經過了一半，耶穌上聖殿去，開始教導人。 15 那些猶太人感到驚奇，說：「這個人沒學過，怎麼懂得經文呢？」
16 耶穌回答他們，說：「我的教導不是我自己的，而是那派我來者的。 17 人如果願意遵行神的旨意，就會明白這教導究竟是從神而來的，還是我憑自己而講的。 18 憑自己講話的人，是尋求自己的榮耀；但是，尋求那派他來者之榮耀的，他才是真實的，在他裡面沒有不義。 19 摩西不是把律法傳給你們了嗎？你們當中卻沒有一個人遵行這律法。你們為什麼想要殺我呢？」
20 眾人回答：「你有鬼魔附身！誰想要殺你？」
21 耶穌對他們說：「我做了一件事，你們都感到驚奇。 22 摩西把割禮傳給你們，你們就在安息日給人施行割禮——其實割禮不是從摩西開始的，而是從祖先開始的。 23 既然人在安息日受割禮，是為了不違犯摩西的律法；那麼，因為我在安息日使一個人完全康復，你們就對我生氣嗎？ 24 不要按著外表做判斷，而要按著公義做判斷。」
基督的身份
25 有些耶路撒冷的人說：「這不是他們想要殺的那個人嗎？ 26 看，他還在公開講話，他們也沒有對他說什麼。難道首領們真的認為這個人就是[b]基督嗎？ 27 可是，基督出現的時候，沒有人會知道他從哪裡來；而這個人，我們卻很清楚他是從哪裡來的。」
28 耶穌在聖殿裡教導人，呼喊說：「你們認識我，也知道我是從哪裡來的。其實我不是憑自己而來的；派我來的那一位是真實的，你們卻不認識他； 29 而我認識他，因為我是從他而來，也是他差派了我。」
30 因此他們想要抓耶穌，只是沒有人下手，因為他的時候還沒有到。 31 但是人群中有許多人信了耶穌，他們說：「基督來的時候，難道會比這個人行更多的神蹟嗎？」
32 法利賽人聽到了眾人私下議論耶穌的這些事。於是祭司長們和法利賽人就派差役們去抓他。
33 耶穌說：「我與你們在一起的時候不多了，我要回到派我來的那一位面前。 34 你們將要尋找我，卻找不到；我所在的地方，你們不能去。」
35 那些猶太人彼此問：「這個人要到哪裡去，讓我們找不到他呢？難道他要往散居在希臘人中的猶太僑民那裡，去教導希臘人嗎？ 36 他所說的『你們將要尋找我，卻找不到；我所在的地方，你們不能去』，這話是什麼意思呢？」
有關聖靈的應許
37 節期的最後一天，也是最盛大的日子，耶穌站起來呼喊說：「如果有人渴了，就到我這裡[c]來喝吧！ 38 信我的人，就如經上所說的，從他的腹中將要湧流出活水的江河。」 39 耶穌這話是指著信他的人所要領受的聖靈而說的。當時，聖靈[d]還沒有臨到[e]，因為耶穌還沒有得榮耀。
群眾因耶穌而分歧
40 眾人聽了這話，有些[f]人說：「這個人確實是那位先知！」 41 另有的說：「這個人就是基督。」還有的卻說：「難道基督會出自加利利嗎？ 42 經上不是說，基督是大衛的後裔，是出自大衛的故鄉伯利恆嗎？」 43 於是眾人因耶穌就產生了分裂； 44 其中有些人想要抓他，可是沒有人下手。
官員因耶穌而爭辯
45 差役們回到祭司長們和法利賽人那裡。那些人問：「為什麼沒有把他帶來？」
46 差役們回答：「從來沒有人像這個人[g]那樣講話！」
47 法利賽人說：「難道你們也被迷惑了嗎？ 48 難道首領或法利賽人中有信他的嗎？ 49 這不懂律法的民眾是被詛咒的！」
50 他們當中有一個人，就是原先[h]來到耶穌那裡的尼克迪莫，對他們說： 51 「如果不先聽本人的口供，並且了解他做了什麼，我們的律法就定不了他的罪，難道不是嗎？」
52 他們回答說：「你也不會是加利利人吧？你去查一查看，先知是不會從加利利興起的！」
53 然後他們每個人都回家去了。
John 7
King James Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, 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 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 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In 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.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
45 Then came the officers to the chief 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 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
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.
