Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1After this, Jesus traveled throughout Galilee. He did not want to travel in Judea, because the Jews there were trying to kill Him.
1Post hæc autem ambulabat Jesus in Galilæam: non enim volebat in Judæam ambulare, quia quærebant eum Judæi interficere.
2However, the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near.
2Erat autem in proximo dies festus Judæorum, Scenopegia.
3So Jesus’ brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing.
3Dixerunt autem ad eum fratres ejus: Transi hinc, et vade in Judæam, ut et discipuli tui videant opera tua, quæ facis.
4For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world.”
4Nemo quippe in occulto quid facit, et quærit ipse in palam esse: si hæc facis, manifesta teipsum mundo.
5For even His own brothers did not believe in Him.
5Neque enim fratres ejus credebant in eum.
6Therefore Jesus told them, “Although your time is always at hand, My time has not yet come.
6Dicit ergo eis Jesus: Tempus meum nondum advenit: tempus autem vestrum semper est paratum.
7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify that its works are evil.
7Non potest mundus odisse vos: me autem odit, quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo quod opera ejus mala sunt.
8Go up to the feast on your own. I am not going up to this feast, because My time has not yet come.”
8Vos ascendite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascendo ad diem festum istum: quia meum tempus nondum impletum est.
9Having said this, Jesus remained in Galilee.
9Hæc cum dixisset, ipse mansit in Galilæa.
10But after His brothers had gone up to the feast, He also went—not publicly, but in secret.
10Ut autem ascenderunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascendit ad diem festum non manifeste, sed quasi in occulto.
11So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
11Judæi ergo quærebant eum in die festo, et dicebant: Ubi est ille?
12Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
12Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicebant: Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicebant: Non, sed seducit turbas.
13Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
13Nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Judæorum.
14About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
14Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat.
15The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
15Et mirabantur Judæi, dicentes: Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?
16“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
16Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit: Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me.
17If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
17Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.
18He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.
18Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quærit; qui autem quærit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.
19Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
19Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem?
20“You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”
20Quid me quæritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit: Dæmonium habes: quis te quæret interficere?
21Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
21Respondit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini:
22But because Moses gave you circumcision, you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath (not that it is from Moses, but from the patriarchs.)
22propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem (non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.
23If a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with Me for making the whole man well on the Sabbath?
23Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi: mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?
24Stop judging by outward appearances, and start judging justly.”
24Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate.
25Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
25Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interficere?
26Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?
26et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?
27But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”
27Sed hunc scimus unde sit: Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.
28Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,
28Clamabat ergo Jesus in templo docens, et dicens: Et me scitis, et unde sim scitis: et a meipso non veni, sed est verus qui misit me, quem vos nescitis.
29but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
29Ego scio eum: quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.
30So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
30Quærebant ergo eum apprehendere: et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venerat hora ejus.
31Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said, “When the Christ comes, will He perform more signs than this man?”
31De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant: Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quæ hic facit?
32When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about Jesus, they and the chief priests sent officers to arrest Him.
32Audierunt pharisæi turbam murmurantem de illo hæc: et miserunt principes et pharisæi ministros ut apprehenderent eum.
33So Jesus said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
33Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc modicum tempus vobiscum sum: et vado ad eum qui me misit.
34You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
34Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi ego sum, vos non potestis venire.
35At this, the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go that we will not find Him? Will He go where the Jews are dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
35Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad semetipsos: Quo hic iturus est, quia non inveniemus eum? numquid in dispersionem gentium iturus est, et docturus gentes?
36What does He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me, but you will not find Me,’ and, ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
36quis est hic sermo, quem dixit: Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi sum ego, vos non potestis venire?
37On the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood up and called out in a loud voice, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
37In novissimo autem die magno festivitatis stabat Jesus, et clamabat dicens: Si quis sitit, veniat ad me et bibat.
38Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said: ‘Streams of living water will flow from within him.’”
38Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquæ vivæ.
39He was speaking about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were later to receive. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
39Hoc autem dixit de Spiritu, quem accepturi erant credentes in eum: nondum enim erat Spiritus datus, quia Jesus nondum erat glorificatus.
40On hearing these words, some of the people said, “This is truly the Prophet.”
40Ex illa ergo turba cum audissent hos sermones ejus, dicebant: Hic est vere propheta.
41Others declared, “This is the Christ.” But still others asked, “How can the Christ come from Galilee?
41Alii dicebant: Hic est Christus. Quidam autem dicebant: Numquid a Galilæa venit Christus?
42Doesn’t the Scripture say that the Christ will come from the line of David and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”
42nonne Scriptura dicit: Quia ex semine David, et de Bethlehem castello, ubi erat David, venit Christus?
43So there was division in the crowd because of Jesus.
43Dissensio itaque facta est in turba propter eum.
44Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.
44Quidam autem ex ipsis volebant apprehendere eum: sed nemo misit super eum manus.
45Then the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”
45Venerunt ergo ministri ad pontifices et pharisæos. Et dixerunt eis illi: Quare non adduxistis illum?
46“Never has anyone spoken like this man!” the officers answered.
46Responderunt ministri: Numquam sic locutus est homo, sicut hic homo.
47“Have you also been deceived?” replied the Pharisees.
47Responderunt ergo eis pharisæi: Numquid et vos seducti estis?
48“Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?
48numquid ex principibus aliquis credidit in eum, aut ex pharisæis?
49But this crowd that does not know the law, they are under a curse.”
49sed turba hæc, quæ non novit legem, maledicti sunt.
50Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who himself was one of them, asked,
50Dixit Nicodemus ad eos, ille qui venit ad eum nocte, qui unus erat ex ipsis:
51“Does our law convict a man without first hearing from him to determine what he has done?”
51Numquid lex nostra judicat hominem, nisi prius audierit ab ipso, et cognoverit quid faciat?
52“Aren’t you also from Galilee?” they replied. “Look into it, and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.”
52Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et tu Galilæus es? scrutare Scripturas, et vide quia a Galilæa propheta non surgit.
53Then each went to his own home.
53Et reversi sunt unusquisque in domum suam.
