	BISHOPS Bishops' Bible of 1568	ESV English Standard Version	NIV New International Version
1	After these thynges, Iesus went about in Galilee: For he would not go about in Iurie, because that the Iewes sought to kyll hym.	After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him.	After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders there were looking for a way to kill him.
2	The Iewes feaste of tabernacles was at hande.	Now the Jews’ Feast of Booths was at hand.	But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles was near,
3	His brethren therfore sayde vnto him: Get thee hence, and go into Iurie, that thy disciples also may see thy workes that thou doest.	So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing.	Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do.
4	For there is no man that doeth any thyng in secrete, and he hym selfe seketh to be knowen openly. Yf thou do suche thynges, shewe thy selfe to the worlde.	For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.”	No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.”
5	For his brethren beleued not in hym.	For not even his brothers believed in him.	For even his own brothers did not believe in him.
6	Then Iesus sayde vnto them, My tyme is not yet come: but your tyme is alway redy.	Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here.	Therefore Jesus told them, “My time is not yet here; for you any time will do.
7	The worlde can not hate you, but me it hateth, because I testifie of it, that the workes therof are euyll.	The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil.	The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify that its works are evil.
8	Go ye vp vnto this feast: I wyll not go vp yet vnto this feast, for my tyme is not yet full come.	You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.”	You go to the festival. I am not going up to this festival, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9	When he had saide these wordes vnto them, he abode styll in Galilee.	After saying this, he remained in Galilee.	After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10	But assoone as his brethre were gone vp, then went he also vp vnto the feaste, not openly, but as it were priuilie.	But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.	However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret.
11	Then sought hym the Iewes at the feaste, and sayde, where is he?	The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?”	Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus and asking, “Where is he?”
12	And much murmuryng of hym was there among the people: For some said, he is good: other sayde, nay, but he deceaueth the people.	And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.”	Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”
13	Howebeit, no man spake openlye of hym, for feare of the Iewes.	Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.	But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.
14	Nowe when halfe of the feast was done, Iesus went vp into the temple, and taught.	About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.	Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.
15	And the Iewes marueyled, saying: howe knoweth he the scriptures, seyng that he neuer learned?	The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?”	The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”
16	Iesus aunswered them, & sayde: My doctrine is not myne, but his yt sent me.	So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.	Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.
17	Yf any man wyll do his wyll, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.	If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.	Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
18	He that speaketh of hym selfe, seketh his owne praise: But he that seketh his praise that sent hym, the same is true, & no vnryghteousnes is in hym.	The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.	Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.
19	Dyd not Moyses geue you a lawe, & yet none of you kepeth the lawe? Why go ye about to kyll me?	Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”	Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
20	The people aunswered and sayde: Thou hast the deuyll, who goeth about to kyll thee?	The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”	“You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21	Iesus aunswered, & said vnto the: I haue done one worke, & ye al marueyle.	Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it.	Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
22	Moyses therefore gaue vnto you the circumcisio (not because it is of Moyses, but of the fathers) And yet ye on the Sabboth day, circumcise a man.	Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.	Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath.
23	Yf a man on the Sabboth day receaue circumcision, without breakyng of the lawe of Moyses: disdayne ye at me, because I haue made a man euerywhyt whole on the Sabboth day?	If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well?	Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath?
24	Iudge not after the vtter appearaunce, but iudge with a ryghteous iudgement.	Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”	Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”
25	The sayde some of them of Hierusale: Is not this he, whom they go about to kyll?	Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?	At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?
26	But loe, he speaketh boldly, & they saye nothyng to hym. Do the rulers knowe in deede that this is very Christ?	And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?	Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Messiah?
27	Howbeit, we know this man whence he is: but when Christe cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.	But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”	But we know where this man is from; when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28	Then cryed Iesus in the temple, as he taught, saying: Ye both knowe me, and whence I am, ye knowe. And I am not come of my selfe: but he that set me is true, whom ye knowe not.	So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.	Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,
29	But I knowe him, for I am of him, and he hath sent me.	I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”	but I know him because I am from him and he sent me.”
30	Then they sought to take hym: but no man layde handes on hym, because his houre was not yet come.	So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.	At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31	Many of the people beleued on hym, and saide: When Christe commeth, wyl he do mo miracles then these that this man hath done?	Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”	Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?”
32	The pharisees hearde, that the people murmured such thinges concerning hym: And the pharisees and the hye priestes sent seruauntes to take hym.	The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.	The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33	Then sayde Iesus vnto them: yet am I a litle whyle with you, and then go I vnto hym that sent me.	Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.	Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am going to the one who sent me.
34	Ye shall seke me, & shall not fynde me: & where I am thither can ye not come.	You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.”	You will look for me, but you will not find me; and where I am, you cannot come.”
35	Then sayde the Iewes among them selues: Whyther wyll he go, that we shall not fynde hym? Wyll he go vnto the dispearsed among the Gretians, & teache the gentiles?	The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? Does he intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?	The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
36	What maner of saying is this that he sayde, ye shall seke me, and shall not fynde me: and where I am, thyther can ye not come?	What does he mean by saying, ‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?”	What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”
37	In the last day, that great day of the feast, Iesus stoode and cryed, saying: Yf any man thirste, let him come vnto me and drynke:	On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink.	On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.
38	He that beleueth on me, as saith the scripture, out of his belly shall flowe ryuers of water of lyfe.	Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”	Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
39	(But this spake he of the spirite, which they yt beleue on hym, should receaue. For the holy ghost was not yet there because Iesus was not yet glorified.)	Now this he said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.	By this he meant the Spirit, whom those who believed in him were later to receive. Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40	Many of the people therfore, when they hearde this saying, sayde: Of a trueth this is the prophete.	When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This really is the Prophet.”	On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”
41	But other sayde, this is Christe: But some saide, shall Christe come out of Galilee?	Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “Is the Christ to come from Galilee?	Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?
42	Sayth not the scripture, that Christe shall come of the seede of Dauid, and out of the towne of Bethlehem, where Dauid was?	Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the offspring of David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”	Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”
43	So was there discention among the people, because of hym.	So there was a division among the people over him.	Thus the people were divided because of Jesus.
44	And some of them woulde haue taken hym, but no man layde handes on him.	Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.	Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.
45	Then came the seruauntes to the hye priestes & pharisees: and they sayde vnto them, why haue ye not brought him?	The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”	Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46	The seruauntes aunswered: Neuer man spake as this man doeth.	The officers answered, “No one ever spoke like this man!”	“No one ever spoke the way this man does,” the guards replied.
47	Then aunswered them the pharisees: Are ye also deceaued?	The Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?	“You mean he has deceived you also?” the Pharisees retorted.
48	Doth any of the rulers or of the pharisees beleue on hym?	Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him?	“Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
49	But this common people which know not the lawe, are cursed.	But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”	No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50	Nicodemus sayth vnto the, he that came to Iesus by nyght, and was one of them:	Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them,	Nicodemus, who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked,
51	Doth our lawe iudge any man, before it heare hym, and knowe what he hath done?	“Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?”	“Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52	They aunswered, and saide vnto him: Art thou also of Galilee? Search & loke: For out of Galilee aryseth no prophete.	They replied, “Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”	They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”
53	And euery man went vnto his owne house.	[[They went each to his own house,	Then they all went home,
