John 7:43-50 in English

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

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

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man so spake.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?

⁴⁸ Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that knoweth not the law are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),

⁴³ So there was a division among the crowd because of Jesus.

⁴⁴ Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

⁴⁵ When the officers went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, they asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him in?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered, “You haven’t been deceived, too, have you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him?

⁴⁹ But this accursed crowd doesn’t know the Law.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (who came to Jesus before, being one of them) asked them,

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

⁴⁹ But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

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

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man so spake.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also led astray?

⁴⁸ Hath any of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude which knoweth not the law are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to him before, being one of them),

⁴³ So the people were divided because of what they thought about Jesus.

⁴⁴ Some people wanted to seize him, but no one tried to do that.

⁴⁵ So the Temple guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees, the ones who had sent them to arrest Jesus. They said to the guards, “Why did you not seize him and bring him here?”

⁴⁶ They replied, “No one ever spoke such amazing things as this man does!”

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees replied, “Have you been deceived {Has he deceived you}, too?

⁴⁸ ◄None of our rulers nor any of us Pharisees have believed that ‘he is the Messiah!/he came from God!’/Have any of our Jewish rulers or any of us Pharisees believed that ‘he is the Messiah?/he came from God?’► RHQ

⁴⁹ Not one! But, on the contrary, some of this crowd have believed in him. They do not know the true teachings of our laws! They will go to hell for listening to him!”

⁵⁰ Then Nicodemus spoke. He was the one who earlier went to Jesus at night. He was also a member of the Jewish council. He said to the rest of the Council members,

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

⁴⁵ Then the servants went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why have you not got him with you?

⁴⁶ The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees said to them, Have you, like the others, been given false ideas?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers belief in him, or any one of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But these people who have no knowledge of the law are cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus — he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them — said to them,

⁴³ There was a division therefore in the crowd on account of him.

⁴⁴ But some of them desired to take him, but no one laid hands upon him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spoke thus, as this man speaks.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye also deceived?

⁴⁸ Has any one of the rulers believed on him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this crowd, which does not know the law, are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus says to them (being one of themselves),

⁴³ So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?

⁴⁶ The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them: Are you also seduced?

⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this multitude, that knoweth not the law, are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus said to them, (he that came to him by night, who was one of them:)

⁴³ Therefore a division occurred among the crowd because of Him.

⁴⁴ Now some of them wished to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

⁴⁵ Then the attendants came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring Him?”

⁴⁶ The attendants answered them, “No man ever spoke like this Man!”

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him?

⁴⁹ But this crowd which does not know the law is accursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to Him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So there developed a division in the crowd because of Him.

⁴⁴ Further, some of them were wanting to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him.

⁴⁵ Then the operatives came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why haven't you brought him?”

⁴⁶ The operatives answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ So the Pharisees answered them: “You haven't been fooled too, have you?

⁴⁸ None of the rulers or the Pharisees have believed into him, have they?

⁴⁹ But this crowd that doesn't know the law is accursed!”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (the one who came to Him at night, being one of them) says to them,

⁴³ So the crowd had a strong difference of opinion about him.

⁴⁴ Some wanted to arrest him, but nobody laid a hand on him.

⁴⁵ Then the guards returned to the chief priests and the Pharisees who asked them, “Why didn't you bring him in?”

⁴⁶ “Nobody ever spoke like this man does,” the guards replied.

⁴⁷ “Have you been fooled too?” the Pharisees asked them.

⁴⁸ “Has a single one of the rulers or Pharisees believed in him? No!

⁴⁹ But this crowd that knows nothing about teachings of the law—they're damned anyway!”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus, who had previously gone to meet Jesus, was one of them and asked them,

⁴³ So was there dissension among the people for him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would haue taken him, but no man layde handes on him.

⁴⁵ Then came the officers to the hie Priests and Pharises, and they said vnto them, Why haue ye not brought him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Neuer man spake like this man.

⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharises, Are yee also deceiued?

⁴⁸ Doeth any of the rulers, or of the Pharises beleeue in him?

⁴⁹ But this people, which know not the Law, are cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus said vnto them, (he that came to Iesus by night, and was one of them.)

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.

⁴⁷ Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?

⁴⁹ But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)

⁴³ So there was a division among the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them wished to seize him; but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, Why did ye not bring him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.

⁴⁷ The Pharisees answered them, Have ye also been deceived?

⁴⁸ Hath any one of the rulers believed in him? or of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ but this multitude that know not the Law are accursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith to them, being one of them,

⁴³ So there was a sharp division amongst the people because of Jesus.

⁴⁴ Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.

⁴⁵ When the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, they were asked, “Why have you not brought him?”

⁴⁶ “No one ever spoke as he speaks!” they answered.

⁴⁷ “What! Have you been led astray too?” the Pharisees replied.

⁴⁸ “Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ As for these people who do not know the Law — they are cursed!”

⁵⁰ But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them,

⁴³ So there was a sharp division among the people because of Jesus.

⁴⁴ Some of them wanted to arrest him, and yet no one touched him.

⁴⁵ When the officers returned to the chief priests and Pharisees, they were asked, “Why have you not brought him?”

⁴⁶ “No one ever spoke as he speaks!” they answered.

⁴⁷ “What! Have you been led astray too?” the Pharisees replied.

⁴⁸ “Have any of our leading men believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ As for these people who do not know the Law — they are cursed!”

⁵⁰ But one of their number, Nicodemus, who before this had been to see Jesus, said to them,

⁴³ So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees Separated, and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees Separated therefore answered them, “You are not also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees Separated?

⁴⁹ True, these 'am-ha'aretz ·people of the land· do, but they know nothing about the Torah ·Teaching·, they are under a curse!”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus Victory people (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So was ther dissencion amonge the people aboute him.

⁴⁴ And some of them wolde have taken him: but no man layed hondes on him.

⁴⁵ Then came the ministres to the hye prestes and pharises. And they sayde vnto the: why have ye not brought him?

⁴⁶ The servautes answered never man spake as this man doeth.

⁴⁷ Then answered the the pharises: are ye also disceaved?

⁴⁸ Doth eny of the rulers or of the pharises beleve on him?

⁴⁹ But the comen people whiche knowe not the lawe are cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus sayde vnto them: He that came to Iesus by nyght and was one of them.

⁴³ So there arose a division in the crowds because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ Then the officers came back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “Never has anyone spoken like this.”

⁴⁷ So the Pharisees answered them, “Have you also been deceived?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers believed in him, or any of the Pharisees?

⁴⁹ But this crowd that does not know the law, they are cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (one of the Pharisees, who came to him earlier) said to them,

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So there was a division among the people because of him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him?

⁴⁶ The officers answered, Never man spoke like this man.

⁴⁷ Then the Pharisees answered them, Are ye also deceived?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharisees believed on him?

⁴⁹ But this people who know not the law are cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith to them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them)

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the Torah is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ So a division arose in the multitude because of him.

⁴⁴ Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.

⁴⁵ The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”

⁴⁶ The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

⁴⁷ The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?

⁴⁸ Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this multitude that doesn’t know the Torah is cursed.”

⁵⁰ Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,

⁴³ Therefore dissension was made among the people for him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken him, but no man set hands on him.

⁴⁵ Therefore the ministers came to the bishops, and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why brought ye not him?

⁴⁶ The ministers answered, Never man spake so, as this man speaketh.

⁴⁷ Therefore the Pharisees answered to them, Whether ye be deceived also?

⁴⁸ whether any of the princes, or of the Pharisees believed in him?

⁴⁹ But this people, that knoweth not the law, be cursed.

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith to them, he that came to him by night, that was one of them,

⁴³ Therefore dissension was made among the people for him.

⁴⁴ And some of them would have taken (hold of) him, but no man set (his) hands on him.

⁴⁵ Therefore the ministers came to the bishops, and Pharisees, and they said to them, Why brought ye not him? (And so the servants came back to the high priests, and the Pharisees, and they said to them, Why have ye not brought him back to us?)

⁴⁶ The ministers answered (or The servants answered), Never (a) man spake so, as this man speaketh.

⁴⁷ Therefore the Pharisees answered to them, Whether ye be deceived also?

⁴⁸ whether any of the princes, or (we) of the Pharisees believed in him? (do any of the leaders, yea, the high priests, or we of the Pharisees believe in him?)

⁴⁹ But this people, that knoweth not the law, be cursed. (Let these people, who do not know the Law, be cursed!)

⁵⁰ Nicodemus saith to them, he that came to him by night, that was one of them,

⁴³ Therfor discencioun was maad among the puple for hym.

⁴⁴ For summe of hem wolden haue take hym, but no man sette hondis on hym.

⁴⁵ Therfor the mynystris camen to bischopis and Farisees, and thei seiden to hem, Whi brouyten ye not hym?

⁴⁶ The mynystris answeriden, Neuere man spak so, as this man spekith.

⁴⁷ Therfor the Farisees answeriden to hem, Whether ye ben disseyued also?

⁴⁸ whether ony of the pryncis or of the Farisees bileueden in hym?

⁴⁹ But this puple, that knowith not the lawe, ben cursid.

⁵⁰ Nychodeme seith to hem, he that cam to hym bi nyyt, that was oon of hem, Whethir oure lawe demith a man,

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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