¹And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for he did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him,

¹ܒܬܪ ܗܠܝܢ ܡܗܠܟ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܨܒܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܡܗܠܟܘ ܒܝܗܘܕ ܡܛܠ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܛܠܗ ܀

²and the feast of the Jews was nigh — that of tabernacles —

²ܘܩܪܝܒ ܗܘܐ ܥܕܥܕܐ ܕܡܛܠܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

³his brethren, therefore, said unto him, `Remove hence, and go away to Judea, that thy disciples also may behold thy works that thou dost;

³ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܝܫܘܥ ܫܢܐ ܠܟ ܡܟܐ ܘܙܠ ܠܝܗܘܕ ܕܢܚܙܘܢ ܬܠܡܝܕܝܟ ܥܒܕܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܀

⁴for no one in secret doth anything, and himself seeketh to be in public; if thou dost these things — manifest thyself to the world;`

⁴ܠܝܬ ܓܝܪ ܐܢܫ ܕܥܒܕ ܡܕܡ ܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܘܨܒܐ ܗܘ ܕܒܓܠܝܐ ܢܗܘܐ ܐܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܥܒܕ ܐܢܬ ܚܘܐ ܢܦܫܟ ܠܥܠܡܐ ܀

⁵for not even were his brethren believing in him.

⁵ܐܦ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܗܘܘ ܒܗ ܒܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁶Jesus, therefore, saith to them, `My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;

⁶ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܝܫܘܥ ܙܒܢܝ ܕܝܠܝ ܥܕܡܐ ܠܗܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܛܐ ܙܒܢܟܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܕܝܠܟܘܢ ܒܟܠ ܥܕܢ ܡܛܝܒ ܀

⁷the world is not able to hate you, but me it doth hate, because I testify concerning it that its works are evil.

⁷ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚ ܥܠܡܐ ܠܡܤܢܟܘܢ ܠܝ ܕܝܢ ܤܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܐܢܐ ܡܤܗܕ ܐܢܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܕܥܒܕܘܗܝ ܒܝܫܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

⁸Ye — go ye up to this feast; I do not yet go up to this feast, because my time hath not yet been fulfilled;`

⁸ܐܢܬܘܢ ܤܩܘ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܗܢܐ ܐܢܐ ܠܐ ܤܠܩ ܐܢܐ ܗܫܐ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܗܢܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܙܒܢܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܫܠܡ ܀

⁹and saying these things to them, he remained in Galilee.

⁹ܗܠܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܘܦܫ ܠܗ ܒܓܠܝܠܐ ܀

¹⁰And when his brethren went up, then also he himself went up to the feast, not manifestly, but as in secret;

¹⁰ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܤܠܩܘ ܐܚܘܗܝ ܠܥܕܥܕܐ ܗܝܕܝܢ ܐܦ ܗܘ ܤܠܩ ܠܐ ܒܓܠܝܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܒܛܘܫܝܐ ܀

¹¹the Jews, therefore, were seeking him, in the feast, and said, `Where is that one?`

¹¹ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܕܝܢ ܒܥܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܗ ܒܥܕܥܕܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܝܟܘ ܗܘ ܀

¹²and there was much murmuring about him among the multitudes, some indeed said — `He is good;` and others said, `No, but he leadeth astray the multitude;`

¹²ܘܪܛܢܐ ܤܓܝܐܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܐ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܓܝܪ ܕܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܛܒ ܗܘ ܘܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܐ ܐܠܐ ܡܛܥܐ ܠܥܡܐ ܀

¹³no one, however, was speaking freely about him, through fear of the Jews.

¹³ܠܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܢܫ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܗܘܐ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܡܛܠ ܕܚܠܬܐ ܕܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܀

¹⁴And it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple, and he was teaching,

¹⁴ܟܕ ܕܝܢ ܦܠܓܘ ܝܘܡܬܐ ܕܥܕܥܕܐ ܤܠܩ ܝܫܘܥ ܠܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܡܠܦ ܗܘܐ ܀

¹⁵and the Jews were wondering, saying, `How hath this one known letters — not having learned?`

¹⁵ܘܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܝܕܥ ܗܢܐ ܤܦܪܐ ܟܕ ܠܐ ܝܠܦ ܀

¹⁶Jesus answered them and said, `My teaching is not mine, but His who sent me;

¹⁶ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܝܘܠܦܢܝ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܕܝܠܝ ܐܠܐ ܕܗܘ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

¹⁷if any one may will to do His will, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or — I do speak from myself.

¹⁷ܡܢ ܕܨܒܐ ܕܢܥܒܕ ܨܒܝܢܗ ܡܤܬܟܠ ܝܘܠܦܢܝ ܐܢ ܡܢ ܐܠܗܐ ܗܘ ܐܘ ܐܢܐ ܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܡܡܠܠ ܐܢܐ ܀

¹⁸`He who is speaking from himself his own glory doth seek, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him;

¹⁸ܡܢ ܕܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܪܥܝܢܗ ܡܡܠܠ ܫܘܒܚܐ ܠܢܦܫܗ ܒܥܐ ܗܘ ܕܝܢ ܕܫܘܒܚܐ ܕܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܗ ܒܥܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܘܥܘܠܐ ܒܠܒܗ ܠܐ ܐܝܬ ܀

¹⁹hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?`

¹⁹ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢܟܘܢ ܢܛܪ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܀

²⁰The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?`

²⁰ܡܢܐ ܒܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܩܛܠܢܝ ܥܢܐ ܟܢܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܝܘܐ ܐܝܬ ܠܟ ܡܢܘ ܒܥܐ ܠܡܩܛܠܟ ܀

²¹Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,

²¹ܥܢܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܚܕ ܥܒܕܐ ܥܒܕܬ ܘܟܠܟܘܢ ܡܬܕܡܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܀

²²because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision — not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers — and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;

²²ܡܛܠ ܗܢܐ ܡܘܫܐ ܝܗܒ ܠܟܘܢ ܓܙܘܪܬܐ ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܡܢܗ ܗܝ ܡܢ ܡܘܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܡܢ ܐܒܗܬܐ ܗܝ ܘܒܫܒܬܐ ܓܙܪܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܀

²³if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?

²³ܐܢ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܡܬܓܙܪ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܢܫܬܪܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܡܘܫܐ ܥܠܝ ܪܛܢܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܕܟܠܗ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܚܠܡܬ ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܫܒܬܐ ܀

²⁴judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.`

²⁴ܠܐ ܬܗܘܘܢ ܕܝܢܝܢ ܒܡܤܒ ܒܐܦܐ ܐܠܐ ܕܝܢܐ ܟܐܢܐ ܕܘܢܘ ܀

²⁵Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

²⁵ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܐ ܡܢ ܐܘܪܫܠܡ ܠܘ ܗܢܘ ܗܘ ܕܒܥܝܢ ܠܡܩܛܠ ܀

²⁶and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

²⁶ܘܗܐ ܓܠܝܐܝܬ ܡܡܠܠ ܘܡܕܡ ܠܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܕܠܡܐ ܝܕܥܘ ܩܫܝܫܝܢ ܕܗܢܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

²⁷but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.`

²⁷ܐܠܐ ܠܗܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܬܝ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܝܕܥ ܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܗܘ ܀

²⁸Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

²⁸ܘܐܪܝܡ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܗ ܟܕ ܡܠܦ ܒܗܝܟܠܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܘܠܝ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܐܝܡܟܐ ܐܢܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܘܡܢ ܨܒܘܬ ܢܦܫܝ ܠܐ ܐܬܝܬ ܐܠܐ ܫܪܝܪ ܗܘ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܗܘ ܕܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܝܕܥܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܗ ܀

²⁹and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.`

²⁹ܐܢܐ ܕܝܢ ܝܕܥ ܐܢܐ ܠܗ ܕܡܢ ܠܘܬܗ ܐܢܐ ܘܗܘ ܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

³⁰They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

³⁰ܘܒܥܘ ܠܡܐܚܕܗ ܘܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܪܡܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܬ ܗܘܬ ܫܥܬܗ ܀

³¹and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — `The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?`

³¹ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܡܐ ܕܐܬܐ ܠܡܐ ܕܝܬܝܪܢ ܡܢ ܗܠܝܢ ܐܬܘܬܐ ܕܥܒܕ ܗܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may take him;

³²ܘܫܡܥܘ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܟܢܫܐ ܕܡܡܠܠܝܢ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܗܠܝܢ ܘܫܕܪܘ ܗܢܘܢ ܘܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܕܚܫܐ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

³³Jesus, therefore, said to them, `Yet a little time I am with you, and I go away unto Him who sent me;

³³ܘܐܡܪ ܝܫܘܥ ܩܠܝܠ ܬܘܒ ܙܒܢܐ ܥܡܟܘܢ ܐܢܐ ܘܐܙܠ ܐܢܐ ܠܘܬ ܡܢ ܕܫܕܪܢܝ ܀

³⁴ye will seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye are not able to come.`

³⁴ܘܬܒܥܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚܘܢܢܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܀

³⁵The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, `Whither is this one about to go that we shall not find him? — to the dispersion of the Greeks is he about to go? and to teach the Greeks;

³⁵ܐܡܪܝܢ ܝܗܘܕܝܐ ܒܢܦܫܗܘܢ ܠܐܝܟܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܗܢܐ ܠܡܐܙܠ ܕܚܢܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܚܢܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܟܝ ܠܐܬܪܘܬܐ ܕܥܡܡܐ ܥܬܝܕ ܕܢܐܙܠ ܘܢܠܦ ܠܚܢܦܐ ܀

³⁶what is this word that he said, Ye will seek me, and ye shall not find? and, Where I am, ye are not able to come?`

³⁶ܡܢܐ ܗܝ ܗܕܐ ܡܠܬܐ ܕܐܡܪ ܕܬܒܥܘܢܢܝ ܘܠܐ ܬܫܟܚܘܢܢܝ ܘܐܝܟܐ ܕܐܢܐ ܐܝܬܝ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܐ ܡܫܟܚܝܢ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܠܡܐܬܐ ܀

³⁷And in the last, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, `If any one doth thirst, let him come unto me and drink;

³⁷ܒܝܘܡܐ ܕܝܢ ܪܒܐ ܕܐܝܬܘܗܝ ܐܚܪܝܐ ܕܥܕܥܕܐ ܩܐܡ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܘܩܥܐ ܘܐܡܪ ܐܢ ܐܢܫ ܨܗܐ ܢܐܬܐ ܠܘܬܝ ܘܢܫܬܐ ܀

³⁸he who is believing in me, according as the Writing said, Rivers out of his belly shall flow of living water;`

³⁸ܟܠ ܡܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢ ܒܝ ܐܝܟܢܐ ܕܐܡܪܘ ܟܬܒܐ ܢܗܪܘܬܐ ܕܡܝܐ ܚܝܐ ܢܪܕܘܢ ܡܢ ܟܪܤܗ ܀

³⁹and this he said of the Spirit, which those believing in him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

³⁹ܗܕܐ ܕܝܢ ܐܡܪ ܥܠ ܪܘܚܐ ܕܥܬܝܕܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܠܡܩܒܠܘ ܐܝܠܝܢ ܕܡܗܝܡܢܝܢ ܒܗ ܠܐ ܓܝܪ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܬܝܗܒܬ ܗܘܬ ܪܘܚܐ ܡܛܠ ܕܠܐ ܥܕܟܝܠ ܐܫܬܒܚ ܗܘܐ ܝܫܘܥ ܀

⁴⁰Many, therefore out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, `This is truly the Prophet;`

⁴⁰ܤܓܝܐܐ ܕܝܢ ܡܢ ܟܢܫܐ ܕܫܡܥܘ ܡܠܘܗܝ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܘ ܫܪܝܪܐܝܬ ܢܒܝܐ ܀

⁴¹others said, `This is the Christ;` and others said, `Why, out of Galilee doth the Christ come?

⁴¹ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܗܢܘ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܐܚܪܢܐ ܐܡܪܝܢ ܕܠܡܐ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܐܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁴²Did not the Writing say, that out of the seed of David, and from Bethlehem — the village where David was — the Christ doth come?`

⁴²ܠܐ ܗܘܐ ܟܬܒܐ ܐܡܪ ܕܡܢ ܙܪܥܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܘܡܢ ܒܝܬ ܠܚܡ ܩܪܝܬܐ ܕܝܠܗ ܕܕܘܝܕ ܐܬܐ ܡܫܝܚܐ ܀

⁴³A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of him.

⁴³ܘܗܘܬ ܗܘܬ ܦܠܓܘܬܐ ܒܟܢܫܐ ܡܛܠܬܗ ܀

⁴⁴And certain of them were willing to seize him, but no one laid hands on him;

⁴⁴ܘܐܝܬ ܗܘܘ ܐܢܫܝܢ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܕܨܒܝܢ ܗܘܘ ܕܢܐܚܕܘܢܝܗܝ ܐܠܐ ܠܐ ܐܢܫ ܐܪܡܝ ܥܠܘܗܝ ܐܝܕܝܐ ܀

⁴⁵the officers came, therefore, unto the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, `Wherefore did ye not bring him?`

⁴⁵ܘܐܬܘ ܕܚܫܐ ܗܢܘܢ ܠܘܬ ܪܒܝ ܟܗܢܐ ܘܦܪܝܫܐ ܘܐܡܪܘ ܠܗܘܢ ܟܗܢܐ ܠܡܢܐ ܠܐ ܐܝܬܝܬܘܢܝܗܝ ܀

⁴⁶The officers answered, `Never so spake man — as this man.`

⁴⁶ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܕܚܫܐ ܠܐ ܡܡܬܘܡ ܗܟܢܐ ܡܠܠ ܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܝܟ ܕܡܡܠܠ ܓܒܪܐ ܗܢܐ ܀

⁴⁷The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, `Have ye also been led astray?

⁴⁷ܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗܘܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬܘܢ ܛܥܝܬܘܢ ܀

⁴⁸did any one out of the rulers believe in him? or out of the Pharisees?

⁴⁸ܠܡܐ ܐܢܫ ܡܢ ܪܫܐ ܐܘ ܡܢ ܦܪܝܫܐ ܗܝܡܢܘ ܒܗ ܀

⁴⁹but this multitude, that is not knowing the law, is accursed.`

⁴⁹ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܥܡܐ ܗܢܐ ܕܠܐ ܝܕܥ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܠܝܛܝܢ ܐܢܘܢ ܀

⁵⁰Nicodemus saith unto them — he who came by night unto him — being one of them,

⁵⁰ܐܡܪ ܠܗܘܢ ܢܝܩܕܡܘܤ ܚܕ ܡܢܗܘܢ ܗܘ ܕܐܬܐ ܗܘܐ ܠܘܬ ܝܫܘܥ ܒܠܠܝܐ ܀

⁵¹`Doth our law judge the man, if it may not hear from him first, and know what he doth?`

⁵¹ܕܠܡܐ ܢܡܘܤܐ ܕܝܠܢ ܡܚܝܒ ܠܒܪܢܫܐ ܐܠܐ ܐܢ ܢܫܡܥ ܡܢܗ ܠܘܩܕܡ ܘܢܕܥ ܡܢܐ ܥܒܕ ܀

⁵²They answered and said to him, `Art thou also out of Galilee? search and see, that a prophet out of Galilee hath not risen;`

⁵²ܥܢܘ ܘܐܡܪܝܢ ܠܗ ܠܡܐ ܐܦ ܐܢܬ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܐܢܬ ܒܨܝ ܘܚܙܝ ܕܢܒܝܐ ܡܢ ܓܠܝܠܐ ܠܐ ܩܐܡ ܀

⁵³and each one went on to his house, but Jesus went on to the mount of the Olives.

⁵³ܐܙܠ ܗܟܝܠ ܟܠܚܕ ܠܒܝܬܗ ܀
