Juan 7
Dios Habla Hoy
Los hermanos de Jesús no creían en él
7 Después de esto, Jesús andaba por la región de Galilea. No quería estar en Judea, porque allí los judíos lo buscaban para matarlo. 2 Pero como se acercaba la fiesta de las Enramadas, una de las fiestas de los judíos, 3 sus hermanos le dijeron:
—No te quedes aquí; vete a Judea, para que los seguidores que tienes allá también vean lo que haces. 4 Pues cuando uno quiere ser conocido, no hace las cosas en secreto. Ya que haces cosas como éstas, hazlas delante de todo el mundo.
5 Y es que ni siquiera sus hermanos creían en él. 6 Jesús les dijo:
—Todavía no ha llegado mi hora, pero para ustedes cualquier hora es buena. 7 Los que son del mundo no pueden odiarlos a ustedes; pero a mí me odian, porque yo hago ver claramente que lo que hacen es malo. 8 Vayan ustedes a la fiesta; yo no voy, porque todavía no se ha cumplido mi hora.
9 Les dijo esto, y se quedó en Galilea.
Jesús en la fiesta de las Enramadas
10 Pero después que se fueron sus hermanos, también Jesús fue a la fiesta, aunque no públicamente, sino casi en secreto. 11 Los judíos lo buscaban en la fiesta, y decían:
—¿Dónde estará ese hombre?
12 Entre la gente se hablaba mucho de él. Unos decían: «Es un hombre de bien»; pero otros decían: «No es bueno; engaña a la gente.»
13 Sin embargo, nadie hablaba abiertamente de él, por miedo a los judíos.
14 Hacia la mitad de la fiesta, Jesús entró en el templo y comenzó a enseñar. 15 Los judíos decían admirados:
—¿Cómo sabe éste tantas cosas, sin haber estudiado?
16 Jesús les contestó:
—Mi enseñanza no es mía, sino de aquel que me envió. 17 Si alguien está dispuesto a hacer la voluntad de Dios, podrá reconocer si mi enseñanza viene de Dios o si hablo por mi propia cuenta. 18 El que habla por su cuenta, busca su propia gloria; pero quien busca la gloria del que lo envió, ése dice la verdad y en él no hay nada reprochable.
19 »¿No es verdad que Moisés les dio a ustedes la ley? Sin embargo, ninguno de ustedes la obedece. ¿Por qué quieren matarme?
20 La gente le contestó:
—¡Estás endemoniado! ¿Quién quiere matarte?
21 Jesús les dijo:
—Todos ustedes se admiran por una sola cosa que hice en sábado. 22 Sin embargo, Moisés les mandó practicar el rito de la circuncisión (aunque no procede de Moisés, sino de los patriarcas), y ustedes circuncidan a un hombre aunque sea en sábado. 23 Ahora bien, si por no faltar a la ley de Moisés ustedes circuncidan al niño aunque sea en sábado, ¿por qué se enojan conmigo por haber sanado en sábado al hombre entero? 24 No juzguen ustedes por las apariencias. Cuando juzguen, háganlo con rectitud.
Jesús habla de su origen
25 Algunos de los que vivían en Jerusalén comenzaron entonces a preguntar:
—¿No es a éste al que andan buscando para matarlo? 26 Pues ahí está, hablando en público, y nadie le dice nada. ¿Será que las autoridades creen de veras que este hombre es el Mesías? 27 Pero nosotros sabemos de dónde viene éste; en cambio, cuando venga el Mesías, nadie sabrá de dónde viene.
28 Al oír esto, Jesús, que estaba enseñando en el templo, dijo con voz fuerte:
—¡Así que ustedes me conocen y saben de dónde vengo! Pero no he venido por mi propia cuenta, sino que vengo enviado por uno que es digno de confianza y a quien ustedes no conocen. 29 Yo lo conozco porque procedo de él, y él me ha enviado.
30 Entonces quisieron arrestarlo, pero ninguno le echó mano porque todavía no había llegado su hora. 31 Muchos creyeron en él, y decían:
—Cuando venga el Mesías, ¿acaso hará más señales milagrosas que este hombre?
Los fariseos intentan arrestar a Jesús
32 Los fariseos oyeron lo que la gente decía de Jesús; y ellos y los jefes de los sacerdotes mandaron a unos guardianes del templo a que lo arrestaran. 33 Entonces Jesús dijo:
—Voy a estar con ustedes solamente un poco de tiempo, y después regresaré al que me ha enviado. 34 Ustedes me buscarán, pero no me encontrarán, porque no podrán ir a donde yo voy a estar.
35 Los judíos comenzaron entonces a preguntarse unos a otros:
—¿A dónde se va a ir este, que no podremos encontrarlo? ¿Acaso va a ir a los judíos que viven dispersos en el extranjero, y a enseñar a los paganos? 36 ¿Qué quiere decir eso de que “Me buscarán, pero no me encontrarán, porque no podrán ir a donde yo voy a estar”?
Ríos de agua viva
37-38 El último día de la fiesta era el más importante. Aquel día Jesús, puesto de pie, dijo con voz fuerte:
—Si alguien tiene sed, venga a mí, y el que cree en mí, que beba. Como dice la Escritura, del interior de aquél correrán ríos de agua viva.
39 Con esto, Jesús quería decir que los que creyeran en él recibirían el Espíritu; y es que el Espíritu todavía no estaba, porque Jesús aún no había sido glorificado.
División entre la gente
40 Había algunos entre la gente que cuando oyeron estas palabras dijeron:
—Seguro que este hombre es el profeta.
41 Otros decían:
—Éste es el Mesías.
Pero otros decían:
—No, porque el Mesías no puede proceder de Galilea. 42 La Escritura dice que el Mesías tiene que ser descendiente del rey David, y que procederá de Belén, el mismo pueblo de donde era David.
43 Así que la gente se dividió por causa de Jesús. 44 Algunos querían llevárselo preso, pero nadie lo hizo.
Las autoridades no creían en Jesús
45 Los guardianes del templo volvieron a donde estaban los fariseos y los jefes de los sacerdotes, que les preguntaron:
—¿Por qué no lo trajeron?
46 Los guardianes contestaron:
—¡Jamás ningún hombre ha hablado así!
47 Entonces los fariseos les dijeron:
—¿También ustedes se han dejado engañar? 48 ¿Acaso ha creído en él alguno de nuestros jefes, o de los fariseos? 49 Pero esta gente, que no conoce la ley, está maldita.
50 Nicodemo, el fariseo que en una ocasión había ido a ver a Jesús, les dijo:
51 —Según nuestra ley, no podemos condenar a un hombre sin antes haberlo oído para saber qué es lo que ha hecho.
52 Ellos le contestaron:
—¿También tú eres de Galilea? Estudia las Escrituras y verás que de Galilea jamás procede un profeta.

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 Jews’ 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.
