John 7

这事以后，耶稣在加利利游行，不愿在犹太游行，因为犹太人想要杀他。

zhè shì yǐ hòu ， yē sū zài jiā lì lì yóu xíng ， bú yuàn zài yóu tài yóu xíng ， yīn wèi yóu tài rén xiǎng yào shā tā 。

After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.

当时犹太人的住棚节近了。

dāng shí yóu tài rén de zhù péng jié jìn le 。

Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.

耶稣的弟兄就对他说：「你离开这里上犹太去吧，叫你的门徒也看见你所行的事。

yē sū de dì xiong jiù duì tā shuō ：「 nǐ lí kāi zhè lǐ shàng yóu tài qù ba ， jiào nǐ de mén tú yě kàn jiàn nǐ suǒ xíng de shì 。

His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.

人要显扬名声，没有在暗处行事的；你如果行这些事，就当将自己显明给世人看。」

rén yào xiǎn yáng míng shēng ， méi yǒu zài àn chù xíng shì de ； nǐ rú guǒ xíng zhè xiē shì ， jiù dāng jiāng zì jǐ xiǎn míng gěi shì rén kàn 。」

For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”

因为连他的弟兄说这话，是因为不信他。

yīn wèi lián tā de dì xiong shuō zhè huà ， shì yīn wèi bú xìn tā 。

For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.

耶稣就对他们说：「我的时候还没有到；你们的时候常是方便的。

yē sū jiù duì tā men shuō ：「 wǒ de shí hòu hái méi yǒu dào ； nǐ men de shí hòu cháng shì fāng biàn de 。

Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.

世人不能恨你们，却是恨我，因为我指证他们所做的事是恶的。

shì rén bù néng hèn nǐ men ， què shì hèn wǒ ， yīn wèi wǒ zhǐ zhèng tā men suǒ zuò de shì shì è de 。

The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.

你们上去过节吧，我现在不上去过这节，因为我的时候还没有满。」

nǐ men shàng qù guò jié ba ， wǒ xiàn zài bú shàng qù guò zhè jié ， yīn wèi wǒ de shí hòu hái méi yǒu mǎn 。」

You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”

耶稣说了这话，仍旧住在加利利。

yē sū shuō le zhè huà ， réng jiù zhù zài jiā lì lì 。

Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

但他弟兄上去以后，他也上去过节，不是明去，似乎是暗去的。

dàn tā dì xiōng shàng qù yǐ hòu ， tā yě shàng qù guò jié ， bú shì míng qù ， sì hū shì àn qù de 。

But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

正在节期，犹太人寻找耶稣，说：「他在哪里？」

zhèng zài jié qī ， yóu tài rén xún zhǎo yē sū ， shuō ：「 tā zài nǎ lǐ ？」

The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”

众人为他纷纷议论，有的说：「他是好人。」有的说：「不然，他是迷惑众人的。」

zhòng rén wéi tā fēn fēn yì lùn ， yǒu de shuō ：「 tā shì hǎo rén 。」 yǒu de shuō ：「 bù rán ， tā shì mí huò zhòng rén de 。」

There 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.”

只是没有人明明地讲论他，因为怕犹太人。

zhǐ shì méi yǒu rén míng míng dì jiǎng lùn tā ， yīn wèi pà yóu tài rén 。

Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.

到了节期，耶稣上殿里去教训人。

dào le jié qī ， yē sū shàng diàn lǐ qù jiào xùn rén 。

But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

犹太人就希奇，说：「这个人没有学过，怎么明白书呢？」

yóu tài rén jiù xī qí ， shuō ：「 zhè ge rén méi yǒu xué guò ， zěn me míng bái shū ne ？」

The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

耶稣说：「我的教训不是我自己的，乃是那差我来者的。

yē sū shuō ：「 wǒ de jiào xùn bú shì wǒ zì jǐ de ， nǎi shì nà chà wǒ lái zhě de 。

Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

人若立志遵着他的旨意行，就必晓得这教训或是出于 神，或是我凭着自己说的。

rén ruò lì zhì zūn zhe tā de zhǐ yì xíng ， jiù bì xiǎo de zhè jiào xùn huò shì chū yú shén ， huò shì wǒ píng zhe zì jǐ shuō de 。

If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.

人凭着自己说，是求自己的荣耀；惟有求那差他来者的荣耀，这人是真的，在他心里没有不义。

rén píng zhe zì jǐ shuō ， shì qiú zì jǐ de róng yào ； wéi yǒu qiú nà chà tā lái zhě de róng yào ， zhè rén shì zhēn de ， zài tā xīn lǐ méi yǒu bú yì 。

He 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.

摩西岂不是传律法给你们吗？你们却没有一个人守律法。为什么想要杀我呢？」

mó xī qǐ bú shì chuán lǜ fǎ gěi nǐ men ma ？ nǐ men què méi yǒu yí gè rén shǒu lǜ fǎ 。 wèi shén me xiǎng yào shā wǒ ne ？」

Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

众人回答说：「你是被鬼附着了！谁想要杀你？」

zhòng rén huí dá shuō ：「 nǐ shì bèi guǐ fù zhuó le ！ shuí xiǎng yào shā nǐ ？」

The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

耶稣说：「我做了一件事，你们都以为希奇。

yē sū shuō ：「 wǒ zuò le yí jiàn shì ， nǐ men dōu yǐ wéi xī qí 。

Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

摩西传割礼给你们（其实不是从摩西起的，乃是从祖先起的），因此你们也在安息日给人行割礼。

mó xī chuán gē lǐ gěi nǐ men （ qí shí bú shì cóng mó xī qǐ de ， nǎi shì cóng zǔ xiān qǐ de ）， yīn cǐ nǐ men yě zài ān xī rì gěi rén xíng gē lǐ 。

Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

人若在安息日受割礼，免得违背摩西的律法，我在安息日叫一个人全然好了，你们就向我生气吗？

rén ruò zài ān xī rì shòu gē lǐ ， miǎn de wéi bèi mó xī de lǜ fǎ ， wǒ zài ān xī rì jiào yí gè rén quán rán hǎo le ， nǐ men jiù xiàng wǒ shēng qì ma ？

If 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?

不可按外貌断定是非，总要按公平断定是非。」

bù kě àn wài mào duàn dìng shì fēi ， zǒng yào àn gōng píng duàn dìng shì fēi 。」

Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

耶路撒冷人中有的说：「这不是他们想要杀的人吗？

yē lù sā lěng rén zhōng yǒu de shuō ：「 zhè bú shì tā men xiǎng yào shā de rén ma ？

Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

你看他还明明地讲道，他们也不向他说什么，难道官长真知道这是基督吗？

nǐ kàn tā hái míng míng dì jiǎng dào ， tā men yě bú xiàng tā shuō shén me ， nán dào guān zhǎng zhēn zhī dào zhè shì jī dū ma ？

Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

然而，我们知道这个人从哪里来；只是基督来的时候，没有人知道他从哪里来。」

rán ér ， wǒ men zhī dào zhè ge rén cóng nǎ lǐ lái ； zhǐ shì jī dū lái de shí hòu ， méi yǒu rén zhī dào tā cóng nǎ lǐ lái 。」

However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

那时，耶稣在殿里教训人，大声说：「你们也知道我，也知道我从哪里来；我来并不是由于自己。但那差我来的是真的。你们不认识他，

nà shí ， yē sū zài diàn lǐ jiào xùn rén ， dà shēng shuō ：「 nǐ men yě zhī dào wǒ ， yě zhī dào wǒ cóng nǎ lǐ lái ； wǒ lái bìng bú shì yóu yú zì jǐ 。 dàn nà chà wǒ lái de shì zhēn de 。 nǐ men bú rèn shi tā ，

Jesus 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.

我却认识他；因为我是从他来的，他也是差了我来。」

wǒ què rèn shi tā ； yīn wèi wǒ shì cóng tā lái de ， tā yě shì chà le wǒ lái 。」

I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

他们就想要捉拿耶稣；只是没有人下手，因为他的时候还没有到。

tā men jiù xiǎng yào zhuō ná yē sū ； zhǐ shì méi yǒu rén xià shǒu ， yīn wèi tā de shí hòu hái méi yǒu dào 。

They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

但众人中间有好些信他的，说：「基督来的时候，他所行的神迹岂能比这人所行的更多吗？」

dàn zhòng rén zhōng jiān yǒu hǎo xiē xìn tā de ， shuō ：「 jī dū lái de shí hòu ， tā suǒ xíng de shén jì qǐ néng bǐ zhè rén suǒ xíng de gèng duō ma ？」

But 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?”

法利赛人听见众人为耶稣这样纷纷议论，祭司长和法利赛人就打发差役去捉拿他。

fǎ lì sài rén tīng jiàn zhòng rén wèi yē sū zhè yàng fēn fēn yì lùn ， jì sī zhǎng hé fǎ lì sài rén jiù dǎ fā chāi yì qù zhuō ná tā 。

The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

于是耶稣说：「我还有不多的时候和你们同在，以后就回到差我来的那里去。

yú shì yē sū shuō ：「 wǒ hái yǒu bù duō de shí hòu hé nǐ men tóng zài ， yǐ hòu jiù huí dào chà wǒ lái de nà lǐ qù 。

Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.

你们要找我，却找不着；我所在的地方你们不能到。」

nǐ men yào zhǎo wǒ ， què zhǎo bù zhe ； wǒ suǒ zài de dì fāng nǐ men bù néng dào 。」

You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”

犹太人就彼此对问说：「这人要往哪里去，叫我们找不着呢？难道他要往散住希腊中的犹太人那里去教训希腊人吗？

yóu tài rén jiù bǐ cǐ duì wèn shuō ：「 zhè rén yào wǎng nǎ lǐ qù ， jiào wǒ men zhǎo bù zhe ne ？ nán dào tā yào wǎng sàn zhù xī là zhōng de yóu tài rén nà lǐ qù jiào xùn xī là rén ma ？

The 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?

他说：『你们要找我，却找不着；我所在的地方，你们不能到』，这话是什么意思呢？」

tā shuō ：『 nǐ men yào zhǎo wǒ ， què zhǎo bù zhe ； wǒ suǒ zài de dì fāng ， nǐ men bù néng dào 』， zhè huà shì shén me yì sī ne ？」

What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’ ?”

节期的末日，就是最大之日，耶稣站着高声说：「人若渴了，可以到我这里来喝。

jié qī de mò rì ， jiù shì zuì dà zhī rì ， yē sū zhàn zhe gāo shēng shuō ：「 rén ruò kě le ， kě yǐ dào wǒ zhè lǐ lái hē 。

Now 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!

信我的人就如经上所说：『从他腹中要流出活水的江河来。』」

xìn wǒ de rén jiù rú jīng shàng suǒ shuō ：『 cóng tā fù zhōng yào liú chū huó shuǐ de jiāng hé lái 。』」

He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”

耶稣这话是指着信他之人要受圣灵说的。那时还没有赐下圣灵来，因为耶稣尚未得着荣耀。

yē sū zhè huà shì zhǐ zhe xìn tā zhī rén yào shòu shèng líng shuō de 。 nà shí hái méi yǒu cì xià shèng líng lái ， yīn wèi yē sū shàng wèi dé zhe róng yào 。

But 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.

众人听见这话，有的说：「这真是那先知。」

zhòng rén tīng jiàn zhè huà ， yǒu de shuō ：「 zhè zhēn shì nà xiān zhī 。」

Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”

有的说：「这是基督。」但也有的说：「基督岂是从加利利出来的吗？

yǒu de shuō ：「 zhè shì jī dū 。」 dàn yě yǒu de shuō ：「 jī dū qǐ shì cóng jiā lì lì chū lái de ma ？

Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?

经上岂不是说『基督是大卫的后裔，从大卫本乡伯利恒出来的』吗？」

jīng shàng qǐ bú shì shuō 『 jī dū shì dà wèi de hòu yì ， cóng dà wèi běn xiāng bó lì héng chū lái de 』 ma ？」

Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”

于是众人因着耶稣起了纷争。

yú shì zhòng rén yīn zhe yē sū qǐ le fēn zhēng 。

So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

其中有人要捉拿他，只是无人下手。

qí zhōng yǒu rén yào zhuō ná tā ， zhǐ shì wú rén xià shǒu 。

Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

差役回到祭司长和法利赛人那里。他们对差役说：「你们为什么没有带他来呢？」

chāi yì huí dào jì sī zhǎng hé fǎ lì sài rén nà lǐ 。 tā men duì chāi yì shuō ：「 nǐ men wèi shén me méi yǒu dài tā lái ne ？」

The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

差役回答说：「从来没有像他这样说话的！」

chāi yì huí dá shuō ：「 cóng lái méi yǒu xiàng tā zhè yàng shuō huà de ！」

The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

法利赛人说：「你们也受了迷惑吗？

fǎ lì sài rén shuō ：「 nǐ men yě shòu le mí huò ma ？

The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

官长或是法利赛人岂有信他的呢？

guān zhǎng huò shì fǎ lì sài rén qǐ yǒu xìn tā de ne ？

Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

但这些不明白律法的百姓是被咒诅的！」

dàn zhè xiē bù míng bái lǜ fǎ de bǎi xìng shì bèi zhòu zǔ de ！」

But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

内中有尼哥德慕，就是从前去见耶稣的，对他们说：

nèi zhōng yǒu ní gē dé mù ， jiù shì cóng qián qù jiàn yē sū de ， duì tā men shuō ：

Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

「不先听本人的口供，不知道他所做的事，难道我们的律法还定他的罪吗？」

「 bù xiān tīng běn rén de kǒu gòng ， bù zhī dào tā suǒ zuò de shì ， nán dào wǒ men de lǜ fǎ hái dìng tā de zuì ma ？」

“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”

他们回答说：「你也是出于加利利吗？你且去查考，就可知道加利利没有出过先知。」

tā men huí dá shuō ：「 nǐ yě shì chū yú jiā lì lì ma ？ nǐ qiě qù chá kǎo ， jiù kě zhī dào jiā lì lì méi yǒu chū guò xiān zhī 。」

They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”

Everyone went to his own house,
