1 אַחֲרֵי הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה הָלַךְ יֵשׁוּעַ בְּאֶרֶץ הַגָּלִיל הָלוֹךְ וְעָבוֹר כִּי לֹא אָבָה לְהִתְהַלֵּךְ בִּיהוּדָה עַל־אֲשֶׁר בִּקְשׁוּ הַיְּהוּדִים לְהָרְגוֹ	1 Then, after these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee. For he was not willing to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.
2 וַיִּקְרַב חַג הַיְּהוּדִים הוּא חַג הַסֻּכּוֹת	2 Now the feast day of the Jews, the Feast of Tabernacles, was near.
3 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו אֶחָיו קוּם וְלֵךְ מִזֶּה אַרְצָה יְהוּדָה לְמַעַן יִרְאוּ גַּם־תַּלְמִידֶיךָ אֶת־הַמַּעֲשִׂים אֲשֶׁר־אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה	3 And his brothers said to him: “Move away from here and go into Judea, so that your disciples there may also see your works that you do.
4 כִּי לֹא־יַעֲשֶׂה אִישׁ דָּבָר בַּסֵּתֶר וְהוּא חָפֵץ לְהִתְפַּרְסֵם לָכֵן אִם־אַתָּה עֹשֶׂה כָאֵלֶּה הִגָּלֵה אֶל־הָעוֹלָם	4 Of course, no one does anything in secret, but he himself seeks to be in the public view. Since you do these things, manifest yourself to the world.”
5 כִּי־אֶחָיו גַּם־הֵם לֹא הֶאֱמִינוּ בּוֹ	5 For neither did his brothers believe in him.
6 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ עִתִּי לֹא־בָאָה עַד־עָתָּה וְעִתְּכֶם תָּמִיד נְכוֹנָה	6 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “My time has not yet come; but your time is always at hand.
7 לֹא־יוּכַל הָעוֹלָם לִשְׂנוֹא אֶתְכֶם וְאֹתִי יִשְׂנָא בַּאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי מֵעִיד עָלָיו כִּי רָעִים מַעֲלָלָיו	7 The world cannot hate you. But it hates me, because I offer testimony about it, that its works are evil.
8 עֲלוּ אַתֶּם לָחֹג אֶת־הֶחָג אֲנִי עוֹד לֹא אֶעֱלֶה אֶל־הֶחָג הַזֶּה כִּי עִתִּי לֹא מָלְאָה עַד־עָתָּה	8 You may go up to this feast day. But I am not going up to this feast day, because my time has not yet been fulfilled.”
9 כָּזֹאת דִּבֵּר וַיֵּשֶׁב בַּגָּלִיל	9 When he had said these things, he himself remained in Galilee.
10 וַיְהִי כַּאֲשֶׁר עָלוּ אֶחָיו לָרֶגֶל וַיַּעַל גַּם־הוּא לֹא בַגָּלוּי כִּי אִם־כְּמִסְתַּתֵּר	10 But after his brothers went up, then he also went up to the feast day, not openly, but as if in secret.
11 וְהַיְּהוּדִים בִּקְשֻׁהוּ בֶחָג וַיֹּאמְרוּ אַיֵּה הוּא	11 Therefore, the Jews were seeking him on the feast day, and they were saying, “Where is he?”
12 וַתְּהִי תְּלוּנָה רַבָּה עַל־אֹדוֹתָיו בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם אֵלֶּה אָמְרוּ טוֹב הוּא וְאֵלֶּה אָמְרוּ לֹא כִּי־מַתְעֶה הוּא אֶת־הָעָם	12 And there was much murmuring in the crowd concerning him. For certain ones were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “No, for he seduces the crowds.”
13 אַךְ אֵין־אִישׁ מְדַבֵּר עָלָיו בַּגָּלוּי מִפְּנֵי יִרְאַת הַיְּהוּדִים	13 Yet no one was speaking openly about him, out of fear of the Jews.
14 וַיְהִי בַּחֲצִי יְמֵי הֶחָג עָלָה יֵשׁוּעַ אֶל־הַמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיְלַמֵּד	14 Then, about the middle of the feast, Jesus ascended into the temple, and he was teaching.
15 וַיִּתְמְהוּ הַיְּהוּדִים וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵיךְ יָדַע זֶה סֵפֶר וְהוּא לֹא לָמָד	15 And the Jews wondered, saying: “How does this one know letters, though he has not been taught?”
16 וַיַּעַן אֹתָם יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמַר לִקְחִי לֹא־שֶׁלִּי הוּא כִּי אִם־לַאֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי	16 Jesus responded to them and said: “My doctrine is not of me, but of him who sent me.
17 הָאִישׁ הֶחָפֵץ לַעֲשׂוֹת רְצוֹנוֹ יֵדַע לִקְחִי אִם־מֵאֵת אֱלֹהִים הוּא וְאִם־מִנַּפְשִׁי אֲדַבֵּר	17 If anyone has chosen to do his will, then he will realize, about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking from myself.
18 הַמְדַבֵּר מִנַּפְשׁוֹ כְּבוֹד עַצְמוֹ יְבַקֵּשׁ אֲבָל הַמְבַקֵּשׁ כְּבוֹד שֹׁלְחוֹ נֶאֱמָן הוּא וְאֵין עַוְלָתָה בּוֹ	18 Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But whoever seeks the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and injustice is not in him.
19 הֲלֹא משֶׁה נָתַן לָכֶם אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה וְאֵין־אִישׁ מִכֶּם עֹשֶׂה הַתּוֹרָה מַדּוּעַ תְּבַקְשׁוּ לְהָרְגֵנִי	19 Did not Moses give you the law? And yet not one among you keeps the law!
20 וַיַּעַן הָעָם וַיֹּאמַר שֵׁד בְּקִרְבְּךָ מִי מְבַקֵּשׁ לְהָרְגֶךָ	20 Why are you seeking to kill me?” The crowd responded and said: “You must have a demon. Who is seeking to kill you?”
21 וַיַּעַן יֵשׁוּעַ וַיֹּאמֶר לָהֶם פְּעֻלָּה אַחַת פָּעַלְתִּי וְכֻלְּכֶם עָלֶיהָ תִתְמָהוּ	21 Jesus responded and said to them: “One work have I done, and you all wonder.
22 משֶׁה נָתַן לָכֶם הַמִּילָה אַךְ לֹא מִמּשֶׁה הִיא כִּי אִם־מִן־הָאָבוֹת וּבְיוֹם הַשַּׁבָּת תָּמוּלוּ כָל־זָכָר	22 For Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23 וְעַתָּה אִם־יִמּוֹל זָכָר בַּשַּׁבָּת לְמַעַן אֲשֶׁר לֹא־תוּפַר תּוֹרַת משֶׁה מַה־תִּקְצְפוּ עָלַי כִּי רִפֵּאתִי אִישׁ כֻּלּוֹ בַּשַּׁבָּת	23 If a man can receive circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you indignant toward me, because I have made a man whole on the Sabbath?
24 אַל־תִּשְׁפְּטוּ לְמַרְאֵה עָיִן כִּי אִם־מִשְׁפַּט־צֶדֶק שְׁפֹטוּ	24 Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment.”
25 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲנָשִׁים מִיּשְׁבֵי יְרוּשָׁלָיִם הֲלֹא זֶה הוּא אֲשֶׁר בִּקְשׁוּ לַהֲמִיתוֹ	25 Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem said: “Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
26 וְהִנֵּה הוּא דֹּבֵר בַּגָּלוּי וְלֹא יִגְעֲרוּ בּוֹ הַאַף אֻמְנָם יָדְעוּ רָאשֵׁינוּ כִּי־בֶאֱמֶת זֶה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	26 And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?
27 אַךְ אֶת־זֶה יָדַעְנוּ מֵאַיִן הוּא וְכַאֲשֶׁר יָבוֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ לֹא־יֵדַע אִישׁ אֵי־מִזֶּה הוּא	27 But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from.”
28 אָז קָרָא יֵשׁוּעַ בַּמִּקְדָּשׁ וַיְלַמֵּד לֵאמֹר הֵן יְדַעְתֶּם אֹתִי אַף־יְדַעְתֶּם מֵאַיִן אָנִי וּמִנַּפְשִׁי לֹא־בָאתִי אָכֵן יֵשׁ אֲמִתִּי אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחַנִי וְאֹתוֹ לֹא יְדַעְתֶּם	28 Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
29 וַאֲנִי יְדַעְתִּיו כִּי מֵאִתּוֹ אָנִי וְהוּא שְׁלָחָנִי	29 I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me.”
30 וַיְבַקְשׁוּ לְתָפְשׂוֹ וְאִישׁ לֹא־שָׁלַח בּוֹ יָד כִּי לֹא־בָא עִתּוֹ	30 Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31 וְרַבִּים מִן־הָעָם הֶאֱמִינוּ בוֹ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אִם־יָבֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ הֲגַם יַעֲשֶׂה אֹתוֹת רַבּוֹת מֵאֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה זֶה	31 But many among the crowd believed in him, and they were saying, “When the Christ arrives, will he perform more signs than this man does?”
32 וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים שָׁמְעוּ אֶת־הָעָם מִתְלַחֲשִׁים עָלָיו כָּזֹאת וַיִּשְׁלְחוּ הַפְּרוּשִׁים וְרָאשֵׁי הַכֹּהֲנִים מְשָׁרְתִים לְתָפְשׂוֹ	32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him. And the leaders and the Pharisees sent attendants to apprehend him.
33 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם יֵשׁוּעַ אַךְ־לְמִצְעָר עוֹדֶנִּי עִמָּכֶם וְהָלַכְתִּי אֶל־אֲשֶׁר שְׁלָחָנִי	33 Therefore, Jesus said to them: “For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.
34 תְּשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא תִמְצָאֻנְנִי וּבַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי שָׁם אַתֶּם לֹא תוּכְלוּ לָבוֹא	34 You shall seek me, and you will not find me. And where I am, you are not able to go.”
35 וַיֹּאמְרוּ הַיְּהוּדִים אִישׁ אֶל־רֵעֵהוּ אָנָה יֵלֵךְ זֶה וַאֲנַחְנוּ לֹא נִמְצָאֵהוּ הֲכִי יֵלֵךְ אֶל־הַנְּפוֹצִים בֵּין הַיְּוָנִים וִילַמֵּד אַנְשֵׁי יָוָן	35 And so the Jews said among themselves: “Where is this place to which he will go, such that we will not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?
36 מַה־זֶּה הַדָּבָר אֲשֶׁר אָמַר תְּשַׁחֲרֻנְנִי וְלֹא תִמְצָאֻנְנִי וּבַאֲשֶׁר אֲנִי שָׁם אַתֶּם לֹא תוּכְלוּ לָבוֹא	36 What is this word that he spoke, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me; and where I am, you are not able to go?’ ”
37 וַיְהִי בְּיוֹם הֶחָג הָאַחֲרוֹן הַגָּדוֹל עָמַד יֵשׁוּעַ וַיִּקְרָא לֵאמֹר אִישׁ כִּי יִצְמָא יָבֹא־נָא אֵלַי וְיִשְׁתֶּה	37 Then, on the last great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and crying out, saying: “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink:
38 הַמַּאֲמִין בִּי כִּדְבַר הַכָּתוּב מִבִּטְנוֹ יִנְהֲרוּ נַהֲרֵי מַיִם חַיִּים	38 whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, ‘From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.’ ”
39 וְזֹאת אָמַר עַל־הָרוּחַ אֲשֶׁר יִקָּחֻהוּ הַמַּאֲמִינִים בּוֹ כִּי טֶרֶם־נִתַּן רוּחַ הַקֹּדֶשׁ יַעַן אֲשֶׁר יֵשׁוּעַ עוֹד לֹא נִתְפָּאָר	39 Now he said this about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would soon be receiving. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40 וְרַבִּים מֵהֲמוֹן הָעָם כְּשָׁמְעָם אֶת־הַדָּבָר הַזֶּה אָמְרוּ אָכֵן זֶה הוּא הַנָּבִיא	40 Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, “This one truly is the Prophet.”
41 וְיֵשׁ אֲשֶׁר אָמְרוּ זֶה הוּא הַמָּשִׁיחַ וַאֲחֵרִים אָמְרוּ הֲמִן־הַגָּלִיל יָבֹא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	41 Others were saying, “He is the Christ.” Yet certain ones were saying: “Does the Christ come from Galilee?
42 הֲלֹא הַכָּתוּב אֹמֵר כִּי מִזֶּרַע דָּוִד וּמִכְּפַר בֵּית־לֶחֶם מְקוֹם דָּוִד יֵצֵא הַמָּשִׁיחַ	42 Does Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the offspring of David and from Bethlehem, the town where David was?”
43 וַתְּהִי מַחֲלֹקֶת בְּתוֹךְ הָעָם עַל־אֹדוֹתָיו	43 And so there arose a dissension among the multitude because of him.
44 וּמִקְצָתָם רָצוּ לְתָפְשׂוֹ וְאִישׁ לֹא־שָׁלַח בּוֹ יָד	44 Now certain ones among them wanted to apprehended him, but no one laid hands upon him.
45 וַיָּשׁוּבוּ הַמְשָׁרְתִים אֶל־הַכֹּהֲנִים הַגְּדוֹלִים וְהַפְּרוּשִׁים וְהֵמָּה אָמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם מַדּוּעַ לֹא־הֲבֵאתֶם אֹתוֹ	45 Therefore, the attendants went to the high priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them, “Why have you not brought him?”
46 וַיַּעֲנוּ הָעֲבָדִים מֵעוֹלָם לֹא־דִבֶּר אִישׁ כָּאִישׁ הַזֶּה	46 The attendants responded, “Never has a man spoken like this man.”
47 וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֲלֵיהֶם הַפְּרוּשִׁים הֲכִי נִדַּחְתֶּם גַּם־אַתֶּם	47 And so the Pharisees answered them: “Have you also been seduced?
48 הֲגַם־הֶאֱמִין בּוֹ אִישׁ מִן־הַשָּׂרִים אוֹ מִן־הַפְּרוּשִׁים	48 Have any of the leaders believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?
49 רַק הֶהָמוֹן הַזֶּה אֲשֶׁר אֵינָם יֹדְעִים אֶת־הַתּוֹרָה אֲרוּרִים הֵמָּה	49 But this crowd, which does not know the law, they are accursed.”
50 וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵיהֶם נַקְדִּימוֹן אֲשֶׁר־בָּא אֵלָיו בַּלַּיְלָה וְהוּא הָיָה אֶחָד מֵהֶם	50 Nicodemus, the one who came to him by night and who was one of them, said to them,
51 הֲתִשְׁפֹּט תּוֹרָתֵנוּ אִישׁ בְּטֶרֶם תַּחְקְרֵהוּ לָדַעַת אֶת־אֲשֶׁר עָשָׂה	51 “Does our law judge a man, unless it has first heard him and has known what he has done?”
52 וַיַּעֲנוּ וַיֹּאמְרוּ אֵלָיו הֲגַם־אַתָּה מִן־הַגָּלִיל דְּרָשׁ־נָא וּרְאֵה כִּי לֹא־קָם נָבִיא מִן־הַגָּלִיל	52 They responded and said to him: “Are you also a Galilean? Study the Scriptures, and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee.”
53 וַיֵּלְכוּ אִישׁ אִישׁ לְבֵיתוֹ	53 And each one returned to his own house.
