Hindi Sumampalataya kay Jesus ang Kanyang mga Kapatid
7 Pagkatapos nito'y nilibot ni Jesus ang Galilea. Iniwasan niya ang Judea dahil nais siyang patayin ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio roon. 2 Nalalapit(A) na noon ang Pista ng mga Tolda, isa sa mga pista ng mga Judio, 3 kaya't sinabi kay Jesus ng kanyang mga kapatid, “Bakit hindi ka umalis dito at pumunta sa Judea para makita ng iyong mga tagasunod ang ginagawa mo? 4 Walang taong naglilihim ng kanyang ginagawa kung ang hangad niya'y maging tanyag. Ginagawa mo rin lamang ang mga bagay na ito, magpakilala ka na sa sanlibutan.” 5 Maging ang mga kapatid ni Jesus ay hindi naniniwala sa kanya.
6 Sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi pa dumating ang aking panahon; sa inyo'y maaari kahit anong panahon. 7 Hindi kayo kapopootan ng sanlibutan, ngunit ako'y kinapopootan nila, sapagkat pinapatotohanan kong masasama ang mga gawa nito. 8 Kayo na lamang ang pumunta sa pista. Hindi ako pupunta[a] sapagkat hindi pa dumating ang aking panahon.” 9 Pagkasabi nito, nagpaiwan siya sa Galilea.
Nagturo si Jesus sa Pista ng mga Tolda
10 Pagkaalis ng kanyang mga kapatid, si Jesus ay palihim na pumunta rin sa pista. 11 Hinahanap siya roon ng mga Judio. “Nasaan kaya siya?” tanong nila. 12 Pabulong na pinag-uusapan siya ng marami. “Siya'y mabuting tao,” sabi ng ilan. “Hindi, inililigaw niya ang mga tao,” sabi naman ng iba. 13 Ngunit walang nangahas magsalita nang hayagan tungkol sa kanya dahil sa takot sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio.
14 Nang kalagitnaan na ng pista, pumasok si Jesus sa Templo at nagturo. 15 Nagtaka ang mga Judio at naitanong nila, “Saan kaya nakakuha ng karunungan ang taong ito gayong hindi naman siya nakapag-aral?”
16 Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus, “Hindi sa akin ang itinuturo ko, kundi sa nagsugo sa akin. 17 Kung talagang nais ninumang sumunod sa kalooban ng Diyos, malalaman niya kung ang itinuturo ko'y mula nga sa Diyos, o kung ang sinasabi ko ay galing lamang sa akin. 18 Ang nagtuturo ng galing sa sarili niya ay naghahangad ng sariling karangalan. Ngunit ang taong naghahangad na maparangalan ang nagsugo sa kanya ay tapat at hindi nagsisinungaling. 19 Hindi ba't ibinigay sa inyo ni Moises ang Kautusan? Bakit wala ni isa man sa inyo ang tumutupad nito? Bakit nais ninyo akong patayin?”
20 Sumagot ang mga tao, “Sinasapian ka ng demonyo! Sino ba ang gustong pumatay sa iyo?”
21 Sumagot si Jesus, “Isang bagay pa lamang ang ginawa ko'y nagtataka na kayong lahat. 22 Ibinigay(B) sa inyo ni Moises ang utos tungkol sa pagtutuli bagaman hindi ito nagmula sa kanya kundi sa inyong mga ninuno, at ginagawa ninyo ito kahit Araw ng Pamamahinga. 23 Kung(C) tinutuli ang isang sanggol na lalaki kahit Araw ng Pamamahinga para masunod ang utos ni Moises, bakit kayo nagagalit sa akin dahil nagpagaling ako ng isang tao sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? 24 Huwag kayong humatol batay sa anyo, kundi humatol kayo batay sa matuwid na pamantayan.”
Siya na nga Kaya ang Cristo?
25 Sinabi ng ilang taga-Jerusalem, “Hindi ba ito ang taong nais nilang patayin? 26 Hayan! Lantaran siyang nagsasalita, ngunit wala silang sinasabi laban sa kanya! Baka naman alam na ng mga pinuno na siya nga ang Cristo! 27 Ngunit pagdating ng Cristo ay walang makakaalam kung saan siya magmumula, subalit alam natin kung saan nagmula ang taong ito!”
28 Kaya't habang si Jesus ay nagtuturo sa Templo, sumigaw siya, “Ako ba'y talagang kilala ninyo? Alam nga ba ninyo kung saan ako nagmula? Hindi ako naparito dahil sa aking sariling kagustuhan lamang. Karapat-dapat paniwalaan ang nagsugo sa akin. Hindi ninyo siya nakikilala, 29 ngunit nakikilala ko siya, sapagkat sa kanya ako nagmula, at siya ang nagsugo sa akin.”
30 Nais na siyang dakpin ng ilang naroroon, ngunit walang nangahas sapagkat hindi pa dumating ang kanyang panahon. 31 Marami sa mga tao ang naniwala sa kanya. Ang sabi nila, “Pagparito ng Cristo, gagawa kaya siya ng mas marami pang himala higit kaysa sa mga ginawa ng taong ito?”
Nag-utos ang mga Pariseo na Dakpin si Jesus
32 Nakarating sa mga Pariseo ang usap-usapan ng mga tao tungkol kay Jesus, kaya't inutusan nila at ng mga punong pari ang ilang bantay sa Templo na dakpin si Jesus.
33 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Makakasama pa ninyo ako nang kaunting panahon at babalik na ako sa nagsugo sa akin. 34 Hahanapin ninyo ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako makikita sapagkat hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko.”
35 Nag-usap-usap ang mga Judio, “Saan kaya pupunta ang taong ito at hindi na raw natin siya makikita? Pupunta kaya siya sa ating mga kababayang napadpad sa lupain ng mga Griego upang magturo sa kanila? 36 Ano kaya ang ibig niyang sabihin nang kanyang sinabing, ‘Hahanapin ninyo ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako makikita,’ at ‘Hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko’?”
Daloy ng Tubig na Nagbibigay-buhay
37 Sa(D) kahuli-hulihan at pinakatanging araw ng pista, tumayo si Jesus at nagsalita nang malakas, “Kayong mga nauuhaw ay lumapit sa akin at uminom. 38 Ang(E) sumasampalataya sa akin, ayon sa sinasabi ng Kasulatan, ‘Mula sa kanyang puso ay dadaloy ang tubig na nagbibigay-buhay.’[b]” 39 Ang tinutukoy niya'y ang Espiritung tatanggapin ng mga sumasampalataya sa kanya. Sapagkat hindi pa naipagkakaloob noon ang Espiritu dahil si Jesus ay hindi pa niluwalhati.
Nagtalu-talo ang mga Tao tungkol sa Cristo
40 Sinabi ng ilang nakarinig sa kanya, “Tunay ngang ito ang Propetang hinihintay natin!” 41 “Siya na nga ang Cristo!” sabi naman ng iba. Ngunit may nagsabi rin, “Maaari bang magmula sa Galilea ang Cristo? Di ba hindi? 42 Hindi(F) ba sinasabi sa Kasulatan na ang Cristo ay magmumula sa lipi ni David, at ipanganganak sa Bethlehem na bayan ni David?” 43 Nagkaroon ng pagkakabaha-bahagi sa mga tao dahil sa kanya. 44 Gusto ng iba na dakpin siya, ngunit wala namang nangahas na humuli sa kanya.
Ang Di-paniniwala ng mga Pinuno
45 Nang bumalik ang mga bantay ng Templo, tinanong sila ng mga punong pari at ng mga Pariseo, “Bakit hindi ninyo siya dinala rito?”
46 Sumagot ang mga bantay, “Wala pa po kaming narinig na nagsalita nang tulad ng taong ito!”
47 “Pati ba kayo'y nalinlang na rin?” tanong ng mga Pariseo. 48 “Mayroon bang pinuno o Pariseong naniniwala sa kanya? 49 Ang mga taong bayan na ito na walang nalalaman sa Kautusan ay mga sinumpa!”
50 Isa(G) sa mga naroon ay si Nicodemo, ang Pariseong nagsadya kay Jesus noong una. At siya'y nagtanong, 51 “Hindi ba't labag sa ating Kautusan na hatulan ang isang tao nang di muna nililitis at inaalam kung ano ang kanyang ginawa?”
52 Sumagot sila, “Ikaw ba'y taga-Galilea rin? Saliksikin mo ang Kasulatan at makikita mong walang propetang magmumula sa Galilea.”
Pinatawad ang Babaing Nangalunya
[53 Pagkatapos nito, umuwi na ang lahat.
John 7
New King James Version
Jesus’ Brothers Disbelieve
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, (A)because the [a]Jews sought to kill Him. 2 (B)Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 (C)His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For (D)even His (E)brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Then Jesus said to them, (F)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 (G)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me (H)because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not [b]yet going up to this feast, (I)for My time has not yet fully come.” 9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
The Heavenly Scholar
10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then (J)the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12 And (K)there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. (L)Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly of Him (M)for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and (N)taught. 15 (O)And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 [c]Jesus answered them and said, (P)“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 (Q)If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 (R)He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who (S)seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and (T)no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 (U)Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? (V)Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The people answered and said, (W)“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 (X)Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, (Y)but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because (Z)I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 (AA)Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Could This Be the Christ?
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to (AB)kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. (AC)Do the rulers know indeed that this is [d]truly the Christ? 27 (AD)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, (AE)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and (AF)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me (AG)is true, (AH)whom you do not know. 29 [e]But (AI)I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore (AJ)they sought to take Him; but (AK)no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And (AL)many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
Jesus and the Religious Leaders
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then Jesus said [f]to them, (AM)“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I (AN)go to Him who sent Me. 34 You (AO)will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you (AP)cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to (AQ)the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
37 (AR)On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, (AS)“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 (AT)He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, (AU)out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 (AV)But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those [g]believing in Him would receive; for the [h]Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet (AW)glorified.
Who Is He?
40 Therefore [i]many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is (AX)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (AY)the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 (AZ)Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, (BA)where David was?” 43 So (BB)there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now (BC)some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Rejected by the Authorities
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”
46 The officers answered, (BD)“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus (BE)(he who came to [j]Jesus [k]by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 (BF)“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for (BG)no prophet [l]has arisen out of Galilee.”
An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World
53 [m]And everyone went to his own house.

John 7
King James Version
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
2 Now the Jew's feast of tabernacles was at hand.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, shew thyself to the world.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews 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?
36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)
40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
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,)
51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
53 And every man went unto his own house.
