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.
John 7
English Standard Version
Jesus at the Feast of Booths
7 After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because (A)the Jews[a] were seeking to kill him. 2 Now (B)the Jews' Feast of (C)Booths was at hand. 3 (D)So his brothers[b] said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, (E)show yourself to the world.” 5 (F)For not even (G)his brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, (H)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but (I)it hates me because I testify about it that (J)its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not[c] going up to this feast, for (K)my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee.
10 But after (L)his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 (M)The Jews (N)were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much (O)muttering about him among the people. (P)While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, (Q)he is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet (R)for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.
14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up (S)into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore (T)marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,[d] when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, (U)“My teaching is not mine, but his (V)who sent me. 17 (W)If anyone's will is to do God's[e] will, (X)he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I (Y)am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority (Z)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. 19 (AA)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. (AB)Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, (AC)“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did (AD)one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 (AE)Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but (AF)from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, (AG)are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 (AH)Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
Can This Be the Christ?
25 Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom (AI)they seek to kill? 26 And here he is, (AJ)speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that (AK)the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But (AL)we know (AM)where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, (AN)no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, (AO)as he taught in the temple, (AP)“You know me, and you know where I come from. But (AQ)I have not come of my own accord. (AR)He who sent me is true, (AS)and him you do not know. 29 (AT)I know him, for I come (AU)from him, and (AV)he sent me.” 30 (AW)So they were seeking to arrest him, but (AX)no one laid a hand on him, (AY)because his hour had not yet come. 31 Yet (AZ)many of the people believed in him. They said, (BA)“When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
Officers Sent to Arrest Jesus
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd (BB)muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent (BC)officers to arrest him. 33 Jesus then said, (BD)“I will be with you a little longer, and then (BE)I am going to him who sent me. 34 (BF)You will seek me and you will not find me. Where I am you cannot come.” 35 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we will not find him? (BG)Does he intend to go to (BH)the Dispersion among (BI)the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying, (BJ)‘You will seek me and you will not find me,’ and, ‘Where I am you cannot come’?”
Rivers of Living Water
37 (BK)On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, (BL)“If anyone thirsts, let him (BM)come to me and drink. 38 Whoever believes in me, (BN)as[f] the Scripture has said, (BO)‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of (BP)living water.’” 39 Now (BQ)this he said about the Spirit, (BR)whom those who believed in him were to receive, (BS)for as yet the Spirit had not been (BT)given, (BU)because Jesus was not yet glorified.
Division Among the People
40 When they heard these words, (BV)some of the people said, “This really is (BW)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (BX)the Christ.” But some said, (BY)“Is the Christ to come from Galilee? 42 Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes (BZ)from the offspring of David, and comes (CA)from Bethlehem, the village (CB)where David was?” 43 So there was (CC)a division among the people over him. 44 (CD)Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him.
45 (CE)The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why did you not bring him?” 46 The officers answered, (CF)“No one ever spoke like this man!” 47 The Pharisees answered them, (CG)“Have you also been deceived? 48 (CH)Have any of the authorities or the Pharisees believed in him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.” 50 (CI)Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, 51 (CJ)“Does our law judge a man without first (CK)giving him a hearing and learning what he does?” 52 They replied, (CL)“Are you from Galilee too? Search and see that (CM)no prophet arises from Galilee.”

Juan 7
Ang Salita ng Diyos
Dumalo si Jesus sa Kapistahan sa Araw ng mga Kubol
7 Pagkatapos ng mga bagay na ito, si Jesus ay naglibot sa Galilea. Ayaw niyang maglibot sa Judea dahil ang mga Judio ay naghahanap ng pagkakataon upang siya ay patayin.
2 Ang Kapistahan ng mga Kubol ng mga Judio ay malapit na. 3 Kaya nga, sinabi sa kaniya ng mga kapatid niyang lalaki: Umalis ka rito. Pumunta ka sa Judea nang makita rin ng iyong mga alagad ang mga gawang ginagawa mo. 4 Ito ay sapagkat ang isang tao na nagnanais na makilala ng madla ay hindi gumagawa ng anuman ng palihim. Kung dahil ginagawa mo ang mga bagay na ito, ipakita mo ang iyong sarili sa sanlibutan. 5 Ito ay sapagkat maging ang mga kapatid niyang lalaki ay hindi sumasampalataya sa kaniya.
6 Kaya nga, sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Ang aking oras ay hindi pa dumarating ngunit ang inyong oras ay laging handa. 7 Hindi magagawa ng sangkatuhan na kapootan kayo ngunit ito ay napopoot sa akin dahil nagpatotoo ako patungkol dito. Nagpatotoo ako na ang mga gawa nito ay masama. 8 Sa kapistahang ito, umahon kayo. Hindi pa ako aahon sa kapistahang ito dahil ang aking oras ay hindi pa nagaganap. 9 Pagkasabi niya sa kanila ng mga bagay na ito, nanatili siya sa Galilea.
10 Pagkaahon ng mga kapatid niyang lalaki ay umahon din siya sa kapistahan. Umahon siya ng hindi hayag kundi palihim. 11 Hinanap nga siya ng mga Judio at nagtanong: Nasaan siya?
12 Nagkaroon ng maraming bulung-bulungan sa mga tao patungkol sa kaniya. Sabi ng iba, siya ay mabuti.
Sabi ng iba: Hindi. Kaniyang inililigaw ang mga tao.
13 Magkagayon man, walang nagsalita ng hayag patungkol sa kaniya dahil sa takot sa mga Judio.
Nagturo si Jesus sa Kapistahan
14 Nang nasa kalagitnaan na ang kapistahan ay umahon si Jesus sa templo at nagturo.
15 Namangha ang mga Judio na nagsasabi: Papaanong nakakabasa ang taong ito gayong hindi naman siya nag-aral?
16 Sumagot si Jesus sa kanila at sinabi: Ang aking turo ay hindi sa akin kundi sa kaniya na nagsugo sa akin. 17 Kung ang sinuman ay nagnanais na gumawa ng kalooban ng Diyos ay malalaman niya ang patungkol sa turo. Malalaman niya kung ito ay mula sa Diyos o ako ay nagsasalita mula sa aking sarili. 18 Siya na nagsasalita mula sa kaniyang sarili ay naghahanap ng kaniyang sariling kaluwalhatian. Siya na naghahanap ng kaluwalhatian ng nag-utos sa kaniya ay totoo. Sa kaniya ay walang kalikuan. 19 Hindi ba binigyan kayo ni Moises ng kautusan? Gayunman, walang nagsasagawa isa man sa inyo ng kautusan? Bakit hinahanap ninyo ako upang patayin?
20 Sumagot ang mga tao at sinabi: Ikaw ay mayroong demonyo. Sino ang naghahanap upang pumatay sa iyo?
21 Sumagot si Jesus at sinabi sa kanila: Isang gawa ang aking ginawa at kayong lahat ay namangha. 22 Kaya nga, binigyan kayo ni Moises ng pagtutuli, bagama’t hindi ito mula kay Moises kundi sa mga ninuno. At sa Araw ng Sabat ay tinutuli ninyo ang isang lalaki. 23 Sa araw ng Sabat ay nagtutuli kayo ng isang lalaki upang huwag lumabag sa kautusan ni Moises. Ano at nagagalit kayo sa akin dahil pinagaling ko ang isang lalaki sa araw ng Sabat? 24 Huwag kayong humatol ayon sa nakikita. Humatol kayo ng matuwid na paghatol.
Si Jesus ba ang Mesiyas?
25 Sinabi nga ng ilan sa mga taga-Jerusalem: Hindi ba siya ang kanilang hinahanap upang patayin?
26 Narito, siya ay hayagang nagsasalita at wala silang sinasabi sa kaniya. Totoo kayang kinikilala ng mga namumuno na ito nga ang Mesiyas? 27 Alam natin kung saan nagmula ang taong ito. Ngunit kapag dumating ang Mesiyas ay walang nakakaalam kung saan siya nagmula.
28 Sa malakas na tinig nga ay nagtuturo si Jesus sa templo. Kaniyang sinabi: Kilala ninyo ako at alam ninyo ang aking pinagmulan. Hindi ako narito nang sa sarili ko lamang. Subalit siya na nagsugo sa akin ay totoo. Hindi ninyo siya kilala. 29 Kilala ko siya dahil ako ay mula sa kaniya at ako ay sinugo niya.
30 Humahanap nga sila ng pagkakataon upang hulihin siya ngunit walang humuli sa kaniya dahil hindi pa dumarating ang kaniyang oras. 31 Marami sa mga tao ang sumampalataya sa kaniya. Kanilang sinabi: Kapag dumating ang Mesiyas, gagawa ba siya ng mas maraming tanda? Mas marami pa kaya kaysa sa ginawa ng lalaking ito?
32 Nang nag-usap-usap ang mga tao patungkol sa kaniya, narinig ito ng mga Fariseo. Ang mga Fariseo at ang mga pinunong-saserdote ay nagsugo ng mga tanod ng templo upang hulihin siya.
33 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila: Makakasama pa ninyo ako ng maikling panahon. Pagkatapos, ako ay pupunta sa nagsugo sa akin. 34 Hahanapin ninyo ako at hindi ninyo ako matatagpuan. Hindi kayo makakapunta sa kinaroroonan ko.
35 Ang mga Judio nga ay nag-usap-usap: Saan ba siya papunta na hindi natin siya matatagpuan? Siya ba ay pupunta sa mga Judio na kumalat sa mga Griyego at tuturuan ang mga Griyego? 36 Ano ang salitang ito na sinabi niyang, hahanapin ninyo ako at hindi ninyo ako matatagpuan. Hindi kayo makakapunta sa paroroonan ko.
37 Sa huli at dakilang araw ng kapistahan tumayo si Jesus. Sa malakas na tinig siya ay nagsabi: Kung ang sinuman ay nauuhaw, hayaan siyang lumapit sa akin at uminom. 38 Mangyayari sa sumasampalataya sa akin ang gaya ng sinabi ng kasulatan: Magkakaroon siya ng ilog ng tubig na buhay. Ito ay aagos mula sa loob niya. 39 Sinabi niya ito patungkol sa Espiritu na tatanggapin na ng mga sumasampalataya sa kaniya sapagkat hindi pa naibibigay ang Banal na Espiritu dahil hindi pa naluluwalhati si Jesus.
40 Marami nga sa mga tao, nang marinig ang pananalitang ito ay nagsabi: Totoong ito na nga ang propeta.
41 Ang iba ay nagsabi: Ito ang Mesiyas.
Ang iba naman ay nagsabi: Kung gayon, manggagaling ba ang Mesiyas sa Galilea?
42 Hindi ba sinabi ng kasulatan: Ang Mesiyas ay magmumula sa lahi ni David? Hindi ba siya ay magmumula sa Bethlehem, ang bayang kinaroonan ni David? 43 Nagkaroon nga ng pagkabaha-bahagi ang mga tao dahil kay Jesus. 44 Ang iba ay nagnais na hulihin siya ngunit walang humuli sa kaniya.
Hindi Sumampalataya ang mga Tagapanguna ng mga Judio
45 Ang mga tanod ay pumunta sa mga pinunong-saserdote at mga Fariseo. Sinabi nila sa kanila: Bakit hindi ninyo siya dinala?
46 Sumagot ang mga tanod: Walang taong nakapagsalita tulad ng taong ito.
47 Sumagot nga sa kanila ang mga Fariseo: Nailigaw rin ba kayo? 48 Mayroon ba sa mga pinuno o sa mga Fariseo na sumampalataya sa kaniya? 49 Ang mga taong ito na hindi nakakaalam ng kautusan ay mga isinumpa.
50 Si Nicodemo, na pumunta kay Jesus nang gabi, ay kasama nila. Sinabi niya sa kanila: 51 Hindi ba ang ating kautusan ay hindi humahatol sa isang tao kung hindi muna siya naririnig nito o hindi muna inaalam ang kaniyang ginagawa?
52 Sumagot sila at sinabi sa kaniya: Ikaw ba ay taga-Galilea rin? Saliksikin mo at tingnan sapagkat walang propetang nagbuhat sa Galilea.
53 Ang bawat isa ay umuwi sa kani-kaniyang tahanan.
