Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1Post hæc autem ambulabat Jesus in Galilæam: non enim volebat in Judæam ambulare, quia quærebant eum Judæi interficere.
2Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
2Erat autem in proximo dies festus Judæorum, Scenopegia.
3And his brethren said to him: Pass from hence, and go into Judea; that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou dost.
3Dixerunt autem ad eum fratres ejus: Transi hinc, et vade in Judæam, ut et discipuli tui videant opera tua, quæ facis.
4For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.
4Nemo quippe in occulto quid facit, et quærit ipse in palam esse: si hæc facis, manifesta teipsum mundo.
5For neither did his brethren believe in him.
5Neque enim fratres ejus credebant in eum.
6Then Jesus said to them: My time is not yet come; but your time is always ready.
6Dicit ergo eis Jesus: Tempus meum nondum advenit: tempus autem vestrum semper est paratum.
7The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth: because I give testimony of it, that the works thereof are evil.
7Non potest mundus odisse vos: me autem odit, quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo quod opera ejus mala sunt.
8Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.
8Vos ascendite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascendo ad diem festum istum: quia meum tempus nondum impletum est.
9When he had said these things, he himself stayed in Galilee.
9Hæc cum dixisset, ipse mansit in Galilæa.
10But after his brethren were gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but, as it were, in secret.
10Ut autem ascenderunt fratres ejus, tunc et ipse ascendit ad diem festum non manifeste, sed quasi in occulto.
11The Jews therefore sought him on the festival day, and said: Where is he?
11Judæi ergo quærebant eum in die festo, et dicebant: Ubi est ille?
12And there was much murmuring among the multitude concerning him. For some said: He is a good man. And others said: No, but he seduceth 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 man spoke openly of him, for fear of the Jews.
13Nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Judæorum.
14Now about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
14Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat.
15And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?
15Et mirabantur Judæi, dicentes: Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?
16Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
16Respondit eis Jesus, et dixit: Mea doctrina non est mea, sed ejus qui misit me.
17If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
17Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.
18He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.
18Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quærit; qui autem quærit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.
19Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?
19Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem?
20Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?
20Quid me quæritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit: Dæmonium habes: quis te quæret interficere?
21Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:
21Respondit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini:
22Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
22propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem (non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.
23If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?
23Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi: mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?
24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.
24Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate.
25Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
25Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interficere?
26And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?
26et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?
27But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
27Sed hunc scimus unde sit: Christus autem cum venerit, nemo scit unde sit.
28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching, and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am: and I am not come of myself; but he that sent me, is true, whom you know not.
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.
29I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.
29Ego scio eum: quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.
30They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
30Quærebant ergo eum apprehendere: et nemo misit in illum manus, quia nondum venerat hora ejus.
31But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
31De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant: Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quæ hic facit?
32The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
32Audierunt pharisæi turbam murmurantem de illo hæc: et miserunt principes et pharisæi ministros ut apprehenderent eum.
33Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.
33Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc modicum tempus vobiscum sum: et vado ad eum qui me misit.
34You shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.
34Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi ego sum, vos non potestis venire.
35The Jews therefore said 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?
35Dixerunt ergo Judæi ad semetipsos: Quo hic iturus est, quia non inveniemus eum? numquid in dispersionem gentium iturus est, et docturus gentes?
36What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me, and shall 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?
37And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, 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.
38He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
38Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquæ vivæ.
39Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive, who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
39Hoc autem dixit de Spiritu, quem accepturi erant credentes in eum: nondum enim erat Spiritus datus, quia Jesus nondum erat glorificatus.
40Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
40Ex illa ergo turba cum audissent hos sermones ejus, dicebant: Hic est vere propheta.
41Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?
41Alii dicebant: Hic est Christus. Quidam autem dicebant: Numquid a Galilæa venit Christus?
42Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
42nonne Scriptura dicit: Quia ex semine David, et de Bethlehem castello, ubi erat David, venit Christus?
43So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
43Dissensio itaque facta est in turba propter eum.
44And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.
44Quidam autem ex ipsis volebant apprehendere eum: sed nemo misit super eum manus.
45The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
45Venerunt ergo ministri ad pontifices et pharisæos. Et dixerunt eis illi: Quare non adduxistis illum?
46The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
46Responderunt ministri: Numquam sic locutus est homo, sicut hic homo.
47The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?
47Responderunt ergo eis pharisæi: Numquid et vos seducti estis?
48Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
48numquid ex principibus aliquis credidit in eum, aut ex pharisæis?
49But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.
49sed turba hæc, quæ non novit legem, maledicti sunt.
50Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)
50Dixit Nicodemus ad eos, ille qui venit ad eum nocte, qui unus erat ex ipsis:
51Doth our law judge any man, unless it first hear him, and know what he doth?
51Numquid lex nostra judicat hominem, nisi prius audierit ab ipso, et cognoverit quid faciat?
52They answered, and said to him: Art thou also a Galilean? Search the scriptures, and see, that out of Galilee a prophet riseth not.
52Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et tu Galilæus es? scrutare Scripturas, et vide quia a Galilæa propheta non surgit.
53And every man returned to his own house.
53Et reversi sunt unusquisque in domum suam.
