John 7
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Remained In Galilee Because They Were Seeking To Kill Him In Judea
7 And after these things Jesus was walking in Galilee. For He was not willing to be walking in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him.
Jesus Goes To Jerusalem For The Feast of Tabernacles
2 Now the Tent-pitching[a] Feast of the Jews was near. 3 So His brothers said to Him, “Pass-on from here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] also will see Your works which You are doing. 4 For no one does something in secret and himself seeks to be in public. If You are doing these things, make Yourself known[b] to the world”. 5 (For not even His brothers were believing in Him). 6 So Jesus says to them, “My time[c] is not yet here, but your time is always ready. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it is hating Me because I am testifying about it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the Feast. I am not going up to this Feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”. 9 And having said these things, He remained in Galilee. 10 But when His brothers went up to the Feast, then He also went up— not openly, but as in secret. 11 Then the Jews were seeking-for Him at the Feast, and saying “Where is that One?” 12 And there was much grumbling about Him among the crowds. Some were saying that “He is good”. But others were saying, “No, but He is deceiving the crowd”. 13 Yet no one was speaking with openness[d] about Him because of fear of the Jews.
In The Middle of The Feast, Jesus Began Teaching In The Temple:
14 Now the Feast already being-at-the-middle, Jesus went up to the temple, and was teaching.
My Teaching Is From God And For His Glory. Why Do You Want To Kill Me?
15 Then the Jews were marveling, saying, “How does this One know writings[e], not having learned?” 16 So Jesus responded to them and said “My teaching is not Mine, but the One’s having sent Me. 17 If anyone is willing[f] to be doing His will, he will know about the teaching— whether it is from God, or I am speaking from Myself. 18 The one speaking from himself is seeking his own glory. But the One seeking the glory of the One having sent Him— this One is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. 19 Has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you is doing the Law! Why are you seeking to kill Me?”
Do Not Judge According To Appearance
20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?” 21 Jesus responded and said to them, “I did one[g] work, and you all marvel! 22 For this reason[h] Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but it is from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on a Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry[i] at Me because I made an entire man sound[j] on a Sabbath? 24 Do not be judging according to appearance, but be judging the righteous judgment”.
The God Whom You Do Not Know Sent Me To You
25 Then some of the people-of-Jerusalem were saying, “Is not this the One Whom they are seeking to kill? 26 And look— He is speaking in public, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers did not perhaps really know[k] that this One is the Christ, did they? 27 However, we know where this One is from. But when the Christ is coming, no one knows where He is from”. 28 So Jesus cried-out while teaching in the temple and saying, “You both know Me and You know where I am from. And[l] I have not come of Myself. However, the One having sent Me is true— Whom you do not know. 29 I know Him, because I am from Him. And that One sent Me forth”. 30 Therefore they were seeking to seize Him. And no one put his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
I Will Be With You a Short Time Longer, Then I Am Returning To God
31 But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they were saying, “When the Christ comes, He will not do more[m] signs than the ones which this One did, will He?” 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him. And the chief priests and the Pharisees sent out officers in order that they might seize Him. 33 So Jesus said, “I am with you a short time longer, and [then] I am going to the One having sent Me. 34 You will seek Me, and will not find Me. And where I am, you are not able to come”. 35 Then the Jews said to themselves, “Where is this One going to go that we will not find Him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion of the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is He? 36 What is this statement that He said: ‘You will seek Me and will not find Me. And where I am, you are not able to come’?”
On The Last Day Jesus Said, Come To Me. The Crowd Remained Divided Over Him
37 Now on the last day, the great day of the Feast, Jesus was standing there. And He cried-out, saying, “If anyone is thirsting, let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one believing in Me, just as the Scripture said— Rivers of living water will flow from his[n] belly”. 39 Now He said this concerning the Spirit, Whom the ones having believed in Him were going to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 40 Then some from the crowd, having heard these words, were saying “This One is truly the Prophet[o]”. 41 Others were saying “This One is the Christ”. But the[p] ones were saying “The Christ is not indeed[q] coming from Galilee, is He? 42 Did not the Scripture say that the Christ comes from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So a division took place in the crowd because of Him. 44 And some of them were wanting to seize Him, but no one put his hands on Him.
Most of The Jewish Rulers And Pharisees Did Not Believe In Him
45 Then the officers went to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those ones said to them, “For what reason did you not bring Him?” 46 The officers answered, “Never did a man speak in this manner”. 47 Then the Pharisees responded to them, “You also have not been deceived, have you? 48 Someone from the rulers did not believe in Him, did he, or from the Pharisees? 49 But this crowd not knowing the Law— they are accursed ones”. 50 Nicodemus— the one having come to Him formerly, being one of them— says to them, 51 “Our Law does not judge the person unless it first hears from him, and knows what he is doing, does it ?” 52 They responded and said to him, “You also are not from Galilee, are you? Search and see that a prophet does not arise from Galilee”. 53 And[r] each one went to his house,

New Living Translation
Jesus and His Brothers
7 After this, Jesus traveled around Galilee. He wanted to stay out of Judea, where the Jewish leaders were plotting his death. 2 But soon it was time for the Jewish Festival of Shelters, 3 and Jesus’ brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, where your followers can see your miracles! 4 You can’t become famous if you hide like this! If you can do such wonderful things, show yourself to the world!” 5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
6 Jesus replied, “Now is not the right time for me to go, but you can go anytime. 7 The world can’t hate you, but it does hate me because I accuse it of doing evil. 8 You go on. I’m not going[a] to this festival, because my time has not yet come.” 9 After saying these things, Jesus remained in Galilee.
Jesus Teaches Openly at the Temple
10 But after his brothers left for the festival, Jesus also went, though secretly, staying out of public view. 11 The Jewish leaders tried to find him at the festival and kept asking if anyone had seen him. 12 There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some argued, “He’s a good man,” but others said, “He’s nothing but a fraud who deceives the people.” 13 But no one had the courage to speak favorably about him in public, for they were afraid of getting in trouble with the Jewish leaders.
14 Then, midway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach. 15 The people[b] were surprised when they heard him. “How does he know so much when he hasn’t been trained?” they asked.
16 So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me. 17 Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own. 18 Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies. 19 Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me.”
20 The crowd replied, “You’re demon possessed! Who’s trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus replied, “I did one miracle on the Sabbath, and you were amazed. 22 But you work on the Sabbath, too, when you obey Moses’ law of circumcision. (Actually, this tradition of circumcision began with the patriarchs, long before the law of Moses.) 23 For if the correct time for circumcising your son falls on the Sabbath, you go ahead and do it so as not to break the law of Moses. So why should you be angry with me for healing a man on the Sabbath? 24 Look beneath the surface so you can judge correctly.”
Is Jesus the Messiah?
25 Some of the people who lived in Jerusalem started to ask each other, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill? 26 But here he is, speaking in public, and they say nothing to him. Could our leaders possibly believe that he is the Messiah? 27 But how could he be? For we know where this man comes from. When the Messiah comes, he will simply appear; no one will know where he comes from.”
28 While Jesus was teaching in the Temple, he called out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I come from. But I’m not here on my own. The one who sent me is true, and you don’t know him. 29 But I know him because I come from him, and he sent me to you.” 30 Then the leaders tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his time[c] had not yet come.
31 Many among the crowds at the Temple believed in him. “After all,” they said, “would you expect the Messiah to do more miraculous signs than this man has done?”
32 When the Pharisees heard that the crowds were whispering such things, they and the leading priests sent Temple guards to arrest Jesus. 33 But Jesus told them, “I will be with you only a little longer. Then I will return to the one who sent me. 34 You will search for me but not find me. And you cannot go where I am going.”
35 The Jewish leaders were puzzled by this statement. “Where is he planning to go?” they asked. “Is he thinking of leaving the country and going to the Jews in other lands?[d] Maybe he will even teach the Greeks! 36 What does he mean when he says, ‘You will search for me but not find me,’ and ‘You cannot go where I am going’?”
Jesus Promises Living Water
37 On the last day, the climax of the festival, Jesus stood and shouted to the crowds, “Anyone who is thirsty may come to me! 38 Anyone who believes in me may come and drink! For the Scriptures declare, ‘Rivers of living water will flow from his heart.’”[e] 39 (When he said “living water,” he was speaking of the Spirit, who would be given to everyone believing in him. But the Spirit had not yet been given,[f] because Jesus had not yet entered into his glory.)
Division and Unbelief
40 When the crowds heard him say this, some of them declared, “Surely this man is the Prophet we’ve been expecting.”[g] 41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.” Still others said, “But he can’t be! Will the Messiah come from Galilee? 42 For the Scriptures clearly state that the Messiah will be born of the royal line of David, in Bethlehem, the village where King David was born.”[h] 43 So the crowd was divided about him. 44 Some even wanted him arrested, but no one laid a hand on him.
45 When the Temple guards returned without having arrested Jesus, the leading priests and Pharisees demanded, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 “We have never heard anyone speak like this!” the guards responded.
47 “Have you been led astray, too?” the Pharisees mocked. 48 “Is there a single one of us rulers or Pharisees who believes in him? 49 This foolish crowd follows him, but they are ignorant of the law. God’s curse is on them!”
50 Then Nicodemus, the leader who had met with Jesus earlier, spoke up. 51 “Is it legal to convict a man before he is given a hearing?” he asked.
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Search the Scriptures and see for yourself—no prophet ever comes[i] from Galilee!”
[The most ancient Greek manuscripts do not include John 7:53–8:11.]
53 Then the meeting broke up, and everybody went home.

Juan 7
Ang Bagong Tipan: Filipino Standard Version
7 Pagkatapos ng mga ito naglakbay si Jesus sa Galilea. Iniwasan niyang dumaan sa Judea, sapagkat gusto siyang patayin ng mga Judio roon. 2 (A)Malapit na noon ang pista ng mga Kubol na ipinagdiriwang ng mga Judio. 3 Kaya sinabi ng mga kapatid ni Jesus sa kanya, “Umalis ka na at pumunta ka sa Judea, upang makita ng mga alagad mo ang mga ginagawa mo. 4 Sapagkat hindi gumagawa nang palihim ang sinumang nagnanais na makilala. Dahil ginagawa mo ang mga ito, ilantad mo ang iyong sarili sa lahat.” 5 Sapagkat maging ang mga kapatid niya ay hindi naniwala sa kanya. 6 Kaya't sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi pa ito ang panahon ko, ngunit ang panahon ninyo ay laging naririyan. 7 Hindi kayo kamumuhian ng sanlibutan, ngunit namumuhi ito sa akin dahil nagpapatotoo ako na ang mga gawa nito ay masama. 8 Kayo na lang ang magpunta sa pista. Hindi ako pupunta dahil hindi pa ito ang panahon ko.” 9 Pagkasabi niya ng mga ito, nagpaiwan siya sa Galilea. 10 Subalit pagkaalis ng kanyang mga kapatid patungo sa pista, pumunta din siya nang palihim at walang pinagsabihan sinuman. 11 Hinahanap siya ng mga Judio sa pista at ipinagtanong kung nasaan siya. 12 At maraming usap-usapan tungkol sa kanya ang mga tao. Ang ilan ay nagsabi, “Siya ay mabuting tao.” Ang sabi naman ng iba, “Inililigaw niya ang mga tao.” 13 Gayunman, walang Judiong nagsalita nang hayagan tungkol sa kanya dahil sa takot sa kanilang mga pinuno. 14 Nang kalagitnaan na ng pista ay nagpunta si Jesus sa templo at nagturo. 15 Nagtaka ang mga Judio. Ang sabi nila, “Paanong nalaman ng taong ito ang mga kasulatan gayong hindi naman siya nakapag-aral?” 16 Kaya't sumagot si Jesus, “Hindi sa akin ang itinuturo ko, kundi sa kanya na nagsugo sa akin. 17 Ang sinumang naghahangad na gawin ang kalooban ng nagsugo sa akin ay makaaalam kung ang itinuturo ko ay galing sa Diyos o nagsasalita lamang ako mula sa sarili. 18 Ang nagsasalita mula sa kanyang sarili ay naghahangad ng sariling karangalan. Ngunit ang nagsisikap na parangalan ang nagsugo sa kanya, ang taong ito ay tapat, at hindi nagsisinungaling. 19 Hindi ba si Moises ang nagbigay sa inyo ng kautusan? Subalit wala naman sa inyo ang tumutupad nito. Bakit sinisikap ninyo akong patayin?” 20 Sumagot ang mga tao, “Sinasaniban ka ng demonyo. Sino'ng gustong pumatay sa iyo?” 21 Sinagot sila ni Jesus, “Gumawa ako ng himala at lahat kayo ay namangha. 22 (B)Ibinigay sa inyo ni Moises ang batas ng pagtutuli bagama't hindi ito galing kay Moises kundi sa mga ninuno. Nagtutuli kayo sa araw ng Sabbath. 23 (C)Kung ang pagtutuli sa araw ng Sabbath ay hindi paglabag sa Kautusan ni Moises, bakit kayo nagagalit sa akin sa pagpapagaling ko sa isang tao sa araw ng Sabbath?” 24 Huwag kayong humusga batay sa panlabas na anyo, kundi maging matuwid kayo sa inyong mga hatol.” 25 Kaya’t sinabi ng ilang taga-Jerusalem, “Hindi ba ito ang taong gusto nilang patayin? 26 At narito siya at hayagang nagsasalita, ngunit wala silang sinasabing anuman laban sa kanya. Kinikilala na kaya ng mga pinuno na siya ang Cristo? 27 Ngunit alam natin kung saan galing ang taong ito; at pagdating ng Cristo, walang makaaalam kung saan siya manggagaling.” 28 Kaya sumigaw si Jesus habang nagtuturo sa templo, “Kilala ba talaga ninyo ako at alam ninyo kung saan ako galing? Hindi ako naparito para sa sarili ko lamang. Ang nagsugo sa akin ay tapat, at siya ang hindi ninyo nakikilala. 29 Kilala ko siya, sapagkat galing ako sa kanya, at siya ang nagsugo sa akin.” 30 Dahil dito, tinangka nilang dakpin siya, subalit wala ni isa mang nangahas sapagkat hindi pa dumarating ang oras niya. 31 Gayunman, marami sa mga naroon ang sumampalataya sa kanya. Sinabi nila, “Kapag dumating ang Cristo, gagawa ba siya ng mas maraming himala kaysa ginawa ng taong ito?” 32 Narinig ng mga Fariseo ang usap-usapan ng mga tao tungkol sa kanya, kaya nagpadala ang mga punong pari at mga Fariseo ng mga kawal para dakpin siya. 33 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus, “Sandaling panahon na lamang ninyo ako makakasama, at pagkatapos ay pupunta na ako sa kanya na nagsugo sa akin. 34 Hahanapin ninyo ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako matatagpuan. At kung saan ako naroroon ay hindi ninyo ako mapupuntahan.” 35 Nag-usap-usap ang mga Judio, “Saan ba nagbabalak pumunta ng taong ito na hindi natin matatagpuan? Pupunta kaya siya sa lugar ng mga kababayan nating nakatira kasama ng mga Griyego at magtuturo sa kanila? 36 Ano'ng ibig niyang sabihin sa sinabi niyang, ‘Hahanapin ninyo ako at hindi ninyo ako matatagpuan,’ at ‘Kung saan ako naroroon hindi ninyo ako mapupuntahan’?” 37 (D)Sa huli at natatanging araw ng pista, tumayo si Jesus at sumigaw. Sinabi niya, “Lumapit sa akin ang sinumang nauuhaw at uminom. 38 (E)Ang sumasampalataya sa akin, tulad ng sinabi ng kasulatan, ‘Mula sa kanyang puso ay dadaloy ang ilog ng tubig ng buhay.’ ” 39 Sinabi niya ito tungkol sa Espiritu, na tatanggapin ng mga sumasampalataya sa kanya. Hindi pa naibibigay ang Espiritu, sapagkat hindi pa naluluwalhati si Jesus. 40 Nang marinig ng ilang tao ang mga salitang ito, sinabi nila, “Tunay na ito nga ang propeta.” 41 Ang iba’y nagsabi, “Ito ang Cristo.” Subalit sinabi ng ilan, “Sa Galilea ba manggagaling ang Cristo? 42 (F)Hindi ba sinabi ng kasulatan na ang Cristo ay magmumula sa lahi ni David at sa Bethlehem na pinanggalingan ni David?” 43 Kaya nagkaroon ng pagkakahati sa mga tao dahil sa kanya. 44 May ilang nais dumakip sa kanya, subalit walang nangahas na gawin iyon.
45 Bumalik ang mga kawal sa mga punong pari at mga Fariseo na nagsabi sa kanila, “Bakit hindi ninyo siya dala?” 46 Sumagot ang mga kawal, “Wala pa pong nakapagsasalita na tulad ng taong iyon.” 47 Tinanong sila ng mga Fariseo, “Pati ba kayo ay nalinlang na? 48 Mayroon bang mga pinuno o mga Fariseong naniwala sa kanya? 49 Ngunit ang mga taong ito na walang nalalaman sa kautusan ay mga sinumpa.” 50 (G)Si Nicodemo na nagpunta noon kay Jesus, at isa rin sa mga kasamahan nila, ay nagsabi sa kanila, 51 “Hinuhusgahan ba ng batas natin ang isang taong hindi man lamang natin napapakinggan at inaalam ang kanyang ginagawa?” 52 Sumagot sila sa kanya, “Taga-Galilea ka rin ba? Magsaliksik ka at malalaman mong walang propetang magmumula sa Galilea.” 53 At nagsiuwi na ang lahat.
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.
