Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t 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 feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2Erat autem in proximo dies festus Judæorum, Scenopegia.
3His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3Dixerunt autem ad eum fratres ejus: Transi hinc, et vade in Judæam, ut et discipuli tui videant opera tua, quæ facis.
4For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal 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 brothers didn’t believe in him.
5Neque enim fratres ejus credebant in eum.
6Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has 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 can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7Non potest mundus odisse vos: me autem odit, quia ego testimonium perhibeo de illo quod opera ejus mala sunt.
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8Vos ascendite ad diem festum hunc, ego autem non ascendo ad diem festum istum: quia meum tempus nondum impletum est.
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9Hæc cum dixisset, ipse mansit in Galilæa.
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, 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 at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11Judæi ergo quærebant eum in die festo, et dicebant: Ubi est ille?
12There 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.”
12Et murmur multum erat in turba de eo. Quidam enim dicebant: Quia bonus est. Alii autem dicebant: Non, sed seducit turbas.
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13Nemo tamen palam loquebatur de illo propter metum Judæorum.
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14Jam autem die festo mediante, ascendit Jesus in templum, et docebat.
15The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15Et mirabantur Judæi, dicentes: Quomodo hic litteras scit, cum non didicerit?
16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his 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 about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
17Si quis voluerit voluntatem ejus facere, cognoscet de doctrina, utrum ex Deo sit, an ego a meipso loquar.
18He 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.
18Qui a semetipso loquitur, gloriam propriam quærit; qui autem quærit gloriam ejus qui misit eum, hic verax est, et injustitia in illo non est.
19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19Nonne Moyses dedit vobis legem: et nemo ex vobis facit legem?
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20Quid me quæritis interficere? Respondit turba, et dixit: Dæmonium habes: quis te quæret interficere?
21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
21Respondit Jesus et dixit eis: Unum opus feci, et omnes miramini:
22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22propterea Moyses dedit vobis circumcisionem (non quia ex Moyse est, sed ex patribus), et in sabbato circumciditis hominem.
23If 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?
23Si circumcisionem accipit homo in sabbato, ut non solvatur lex Moysi: mihi indignamini quia totum hominem sanum feci in sabbato?
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24Nolite judicare secundum faciem, sed justum judicium judicate.
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25Dicebant ergo quidam ex Jerosolymis: Nonne hic est, quem quærunt interficere?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26et ecce palam loquitur, et nihil ei dicunt. Numquid vere cognoverunt principes quia hic est Christus?
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
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 know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
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 sent me.”
29Ego scio eum: quia ab ipso sum, et ipse me misit.
30They sought therefore to take 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.
31But 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?”
31De turba autem multi crediderunt in eum, et dicebant: Christus cum venerit, numquid plura signa faciet quam quæ hic facit?
32The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32Audierunt pharisæi turbam murmurantem de illo hæc: et miserunt principes et pharisæi ministros ut apprehenderent eum.
33Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33Dixit ergo eis Jesus: Adhuc modicum tempus vobiscum sum: et vado ad eum qui me misit.
34You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
34Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi ego sum, vos non potestis venire.
35The 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?
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 word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’ ?”
36quis est hic sermo, quem dixit: Quæretis me, et non invenietis: et ubi sum ego, vos non potestis venire?
37Now 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!
37In novissimo autem die magno festivitatis stabat Jesus, et clamabat dicens: Si quis sitit, veniat ad me et bibat.
38He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
38Qui credit in me, sicut dicit Scriptura, flumina de ventre ejus fluent aquæ vivæ.
39But 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.
39Hoc autem dixit de Spiritu, quem accepturi erant credentes in eum: nondum enim erat Spiritus datus, quia Jesus nondum erat glorificatus.
40Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
40Ex illa ergo turba cum audissent hos sermones ejus, dicebant: Hic est vere propheta.
41Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41Alii dicebant: Hic est Christus. Quidam autem dicebant: Numquid a Galilæa venit Christus?
42Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42nonne Scriptura dicit: Quia ex semine David, et de Bethlehem castello, ubi erat David, venit Christus?
43So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
43Dissensio itaque facta est in turba propter eum.
44Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
44Quidam autem ex ipsis volebant apprehendere eum: sed nemo misit super eum manus.
45The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
45Venerunt ergo ministri ad pontifices et pharisæos. Et dixerunt eis illi: Quare non adduxistis illum?
46The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
46Responderunt ministri: Numquam sic locutus est homo, sicut hic homo.
47The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
47Responderunt ergo eis pharisæi: Numquid et vos seducti estis?
48Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
48numquid ex principibus aliquis credidit in eum, aut ex pharisæis?
49But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
49sed turba hæc, quæ non novit legem, maledicti sunt.
50Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
50Dixit Nicodemus ad eos, ille qui venit ad eum nocte, qui unus erat ex ipsis:
51“Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
51Numquid lex nostra judicat hominem, nisi prius audierit ab ipso, et cognoverit quid faciat?
52They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
52Responderunt, et dixerunt ei: Numquid et tu Galilæus es? scrutare Scripturas, et vide quia a Galilæa propheta non surgit.
53Everyone went to his own house,
53Et reversi sunt unusquisque in domum suam.
