John 7
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The Unbelief of Jesus’ Brothers
7 After this, Jesus traveled in Galilee,(A) since He did not want to travel in Judea(B) because the Jews(C) were trying to kill Him.(D) 2 The Jewish Festival of Tabernacles[a][b](E) was near, 3 so His brothers(F) said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea so Your disciples can see Your works(G) that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he’s seeking public recognition. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 (For not even His brothers believed in Him.)
6 Jesus told them, “My time(H) has not yet arrived, but your time is always at hand. 7 The world cannot hate(I) you, but it does hate Me because I testify about it—that its deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the festival yourselves. I’m not going up to the festival yet,[c] because My time has not yet fully come.” 9 After He had said these things, He stayed in Galilee.
Jesus at the Festival of Tabernacles
10 After His brothers had gone up to the festival, then He also went up, not openly but secretly. 11 The Jews were looking for Him at the festival and saying, “Where is He?” 12 And there was a lot of discussion about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He’s a good(J) man.” Others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He’s deceiving(K) the people.” 13 Still, nobody was talking publicly about Him because they feared the Jews.
14 When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple complex(L) and began to teach. 15 Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures,(M) since He hasn’t been trained?”
16 Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me.(N) 17 If anyone wants to do His will,(O) he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own. 18 The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory.(P) But He who seeks the glory(Q) of the One who sent Him is true,(R) and there is no unrighteousness in Him.(S) 19 Didn’t Moses(T) give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law!(U) Why do you want to kill Me?”
20 “You have a demon!” the crowd responded. “Who wants to kill You?”
21 “I did one work,(V) and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered. 22 “Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision(W)—not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers(X)—and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.(Y) 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath(Z) so that the law of Moses(AA) won’t be broken, are you angry at Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging(AB) according to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgment.”
The Identity of the Messiah
25 Some of the people of Jerusalem(AC) were saying, “Isn’t this the man they want to kill? 26 Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities(AD) know He is the Messiah?(AE) 27 But we know where this man is from.(AF) When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from.”
28 As He was teaching in the temple complex,(AG) Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me(AH) is true. You don’t know Him;(AI) 29 I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”(AJ)
30 Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour[d] had not yet come. 31 However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done,(AK) will He?”
32 The Pharisees(AL) heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests(AM) and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him.
33 Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time.(AN) Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.(AO) 34 You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”(AP)
35 Then the Jews(AQ) said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion[e](AR) among the Greeks(AS) and teach the Greeks, does He? 36 What is this remark He made: ‘You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’(AT)?”
The Promise of the Spirit
37 On the last and most important day of the festival,(AU) Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me[f](AV) and drink!(AW) 38 The one who believes in Me,(AX) as the Scripture(AY) has said,[g] will have streams of living water(AZ) flow(BA) from deep within him.” 39 He said this about the Spirit.(BB) Those who believed in Jesus were going to receive the Spirit,(BC) for the Spirit[h] had not yet been received[i][j] because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
The People Are Divided over Jesus
40 When some from the crowd heard these words, they said, “This really is the Prophet!”[k](BD) 41 Others said, “This is the Messiah!” But some said, “Surely the Messiah doesn’t come from Galilee, does He? 42 Doesn’t the Scripture(BE) say that the Messiah comes from David’s(BF) offspring[l] and from the town of Bethlehem,(BG) where David once lived?” 43 So a division(BH) occurred among the crowd because of Him. 44 Some of them wanted to seize Him,(BI) but no one laid hands on Him.
Debate over Jesus’ Claims
45 Then the temple police(BJ) came to the chief priests(BK) and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why haven’t you brought Him?”
46 The police answered, “No man ever spoke like this!”[m](BL)
47 Then the Pharisees responded to them: “Are you fooled(BM) too? 48 Have any of the rulers(BN) or Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd, which doesn’t know the law, is accursed!”
50 Nicodemus(BO)—the one who came to Him previously, being one of them—said to them, 51 “Our law doesn’t judge a man before it hears from him and knows what he’s doing, does it?”(BP)
52 “You aren’t from Galilee(BQ) too, are you?” they replied. “Investigate and you will see that no prophet arises from Galilee.”[n](BR)
[53 So each one went to his house.

1550 Stephanus New Testament
7 και περιεπατει ο ιησους μετα ταυτα εν τη γαλιλαια ου γαρ ηθελεν εν τη ιουδαια περιπατειν οτι εζητουν αυτον οι ιουδαιοι αποκτειναι
2 ην δε εγγυς η εορτη των ιουδαιων η σκηνοπηγια
3 ειπον ουν προς αυτον οι αδελφοι αυτου μεταβηθι εντευθεν και υπαγε εις την ιουδαιαν ινα και οι μαθηται σου θεωρησωσιν τα εργα σου α ποιεις
4 ουδεις γαρ εν κρυπτω τι ποιει και ζητει αυτος εν παρρησια ειναι ει ταυτα ποιεις φανερωσον σεαυτον τω κοσμω
5 ουδε γαρ οι αδελφοι αυτου επιστευον εις αυτον
6 λεγει ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω παρεστιν ο δε καιρος ο υμετερος παντοτε εστιν ετοιμος
7 ου δυναται ο κοσμος μισειν υμας εμε δε μισει οτι εγω μαρτυρω περι αυτου οτι τα εργα αυτου πονηρα εστιν
8 υμεις αναβητε εις την εορτην ταυτην εγω ουπω αναβαινω εις την εορτην ταυτην οτι ο καιρος ο εμος ουπω πεπληρωται
9 ταυτα δε ειπων αυτοις εμεινεν εν τη γαλιλαια
10 ως δε ανεβησαν οι αδελφοι αυτου τοτε και αυτος ανεβη εις την εορτην ου φανερως αλλ ως εν κρυπτω
11 οι ουν ιουδαιοι εζητουν αυτον εν τη εορτη και ελεγον που εστιν εκεινος
12 και γογγυσμος πολυς περι αυτου ην εν τοις οχλοις οι μεν ελεγον οτι αγαθος εστιν αλλοι δε ελεγον ου αλλα πλανα τον οχλον
13 ουδεις μεντοι παρρησια ελαλει περι αυτου δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων
14 ηδη δε της εορτης μεσουσης ανεβη ο ιησους εις το ιερον και εδιδασκεν
15 και εθαυμαζον οι ιουδαιοι λεγοντες πως ουτος γραμματα οιδεν μη μεμαθηκως
16 απεκριθη αυτοις ο ιησους και ειπεν η εμη διδαχη ουκ εστιν εμη αλλα του πεμψαντος με
17 εαν τις θελη το θελημα αυτου ποιειν γνωσεται περι της διδαχης ποτερον εκ του θεου εστιν η εγω απ εμαυτου λαλω
18 ο αφ εαυτου λαλων την δοξαν την ιδιαν ζητει ο δε ζητων την δοξαν του πεμψαντος αυτον ουτος αληθης εστιν και αδικια εν αυτω ουκ εστιν
19 ου μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν τον νομον και ουδεις εξ υμων ποιει τον νομον τι με ζητειτε αποκτειναι
20 απεκριθη ο οχλος και ειπεν δαιμονιον εχεις τις σε ζητει αποκτειναι
21 απεκριθη ο ιησους και ειπεν αυτοις εν εργον εποιησα και παντες θαυμαζετε
22 δια τουτο μωσης δεδωκεν υμιν την περιτομην ουχ οτι εκ του μωσεως εστιν αλλ εκ των πατερων και εν σαββατω περιτεμνετε ανθρωπον
23 ει περιτομην λαμβανει ανθρωπος εν σαββατω ινα μη λυθη ο νομος μωσεως εμοι χολατε οτι ολον ανθρωπον υγιη εποιησα εν σαββατω
24 μη κρινετε κατ οψιν αλλα την δικαιαν κρισιν κρινατε
25 ελεγον ουν τινες εκ των ιεροσολυμιτων ουχ ουτος εστιν ον ζητουσιν αποκτειναι
26 και ιδε παρρησια λαλει και ουδεν αυτω λεγουσιν μηποτε αληθως εγνωσαν οι αρχοντες οτι ουτος εστιν αληθως ο χριστος
27 αλλα τουτον οιδαμεν ποθεν εστιν ο δε χριστος οταν ερχηται ουδεις γινωσκει ποθεν εστιν
28 εκραξεν ουν εν τω ιερω διδασκων ο ιησους και λεγων καμε οιδατε και οιδατε ποθεν ειμι και απ εμαυτου ουκ εληλυθα αλλ εστιν αληθινος ο πεμψας με ον υμεις ουκ οιδατε
29 εγω δε οιδα αυτον οτι παρ αυτου ειμι κακεινος με απεστειλεν
30 εζητουν ουν αυτον πιασαι και ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον την χειρα οτι ουπω εληλυθει η ωρα αυτου
31 πολλοι δε εκ του οχλου επιστευσαν εις αυτον και ελεγον οτι ο χριστος οταν ελθη μητι πλειονα σημεια τουτων ποιησει ων ουτος εποιησεν
32 ηκουσαν οι φαρισαιοι του οχλου γογγυζοντος περι αυτου ταυτα και απεστειλαν οι φαρισαιοι και οι αρχιερεις υπηρετας ινα πιασωσιν αυτον
33 ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους ετι μικρον χρονον μεθ υμων ειμι και υπαγω προς τον πεμψαντα με
34 ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
35 ειπον ουν οι ιουδαιοι προς εαυτους που ουτος μελλει πορευεσθαι οτι ημεις ουχ ευρησομεν αυτον μη εις την διασποραν των ελληνων μελλει πορευεσθαι και διδασκειν τους ελληνας
36 τις εστιν ουτος ο λογος ον ειπεν ζητησετε με και ουχ ευρησετε και οπου ειμι εγω υμεις ου δυνασθε ελθειν
37 εν δε τη εσχατη ημερα τη μεγαλη της εορτης ειστηκει ο ιησους και εκραξεν λεγων εαν τις διψα ερχεσθω προς με και πινετω
38 ο πιστευων εις εμε καθως ειπεν η γραφη ποταμοι εκ της κοιλιας αυτου ρευσουσιν υδατος ζωντος
39 τουτο δε ειπεν περι του πνευματος ου εμελλον λαμβανειν οι πιστευοντες εις αυτον ουπω γαρ ην πνευμα αγιον οτι ο ιησους ουδεπω εδοξασθη
40 πολλοι ουν εκ του οχλου ακουσαντες τον λογον ελεγον ουτος εστιν αληθως ο προφητης
41 αλλοι ελεγον ουτος εστιν ο χριστος αλλοι δε ελεγον μη γαρ εκ της γαλιλαιας ο χριστος ερχεται
42 ουχι η γραφη ειπεν οτι εκ του σπερματος δαβιδ και απο βηθλεεμ της κωμης οπου ην δαβιδ ο χριστος ερχεται
43 σχισμα ουν εν τω οχλω εγενετο δι αυτον
44 τινες δε ηθελον εξ αυτων πιασαι αυτον αλλ ουδεις επεβαλεν επ αυτον τας χειρας
45 ηλθον ουν οι υπηρεται προς τους αρχιερεις και φαρισαιους και ειπον αυτοις εκεινοι διατι ουκ ηγαγετε αυτον
46 απεκριθησαν οι υπηρεται ουδεποτε ουτως ελαλησεν ανθρωπος ως ουτος ο ανθρωπος
47 απεκριθησαν ουν αυτοις οι φαρισαιοι μη και υμεις πεπλανησθε
48 μη τις εκ των αρχοντων επιστευσεν εις αυτον η εκ των φαρισαιων
49 αλλ ο οχλος ουτος ο μη γινωσκων τον νομον επικαταρατοι εισιν
50 λεγει νικοδημος προς αυτους ο ελθων νυκτος προς αυτον εις ων εξ αυτων
51 μη ο νομος ημων κρινει τον ανθρωπον εαν μη ακουση παρ αυτου προτερον και γνω τι ποιει
52 απεκριθησαν και ειπον αυτω μη και συ εκ της γαλιλαιας ει ερευνησον και ιδε οτι προφητης εκ της γαλιλαιας ουκ εγηγερται
53 και επορευθη εκαστος εις τον οικον αυτου
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.
Juan 7
Reina Valera Contemporánea
Incredulidad de los hermanos de Jesús
7 Después de estas cosas, Jesús andaba en Galilea; no quería andar en Judea porque los judíos procuraban matarlo. 2 Como ya estaba cerca la fiesta de los judíos, la de los tabernáculos,(A) 3 sus hermanos le dijeron: «Sal de aquí y vete a Judea, para que también tus discípulos vean las obras que haces. 4 Porque ninguno que procura darse a conocer hace algo en secreto. Ya que haces estas cosas, manifiéstate al mundo.» 5 Y es que ni siquiera sus hermanos creían en él. 6 Entonces Jesús les dijo: «Para mí, el momento aún no ha llegado; para ustedes, cualquier momento es siempre bueno. 7 El mundo no puede odiarlos a ustedes; pero a mí me odia, porque yo hago constar que sus obras son malas. 8 Vayan ustedes a la fiesta; yo no iré todavía a esa fiesta, porque el momento para mí aún no ha llegado.» 9 Después de decirles esto, se quedó en Galilea.
Jesús en la fiesta de los tabernáculos
10 Pero después de que sus hermanos se fueron, también él fue a la fiesta, aunque no abiertamente, sino como en secreto. 11 Los judíos lo buscaban en la fiesta, y decían: «¿Y dónde está ése?» 12 También la multitud murmuraba mucho acerca de él. Algunos decían: «Él es una buena persona», pero otros decían: «No lo es, sino que engaña a la gente», 13 aunque por miedo a los judíos ninguno hablaba abiertamente de él.
14 A la mitad de la fiesta, Jesús fue al templo y comenzó a enseñar. 15 Y los judíos se asombraban, y decían: «¿Cómo es que éste sabe de letras, sin haber estudiado?» 16 Jesús les respondió: «Esta enseñanza no es mía, sino de aquel que me envió. 17 El que quiera hacer la voluntad de Dios, sabrá si la enseñanza es de Dios, o si yo hablo por mi propia cuenta. 18 El que habla por su propia cuenta, busca su propia gloria; pero el que busca la gloria del que lo envió, éste es verdadero, y en él no hay injusticia. 19 ¿Acaso no les dio Moisés la ley, y ninguno de ustedes la cumple? ¿Por qué procuran matarme?» 20 La multitud le respondió: «Tienes un demonio. ¿Quién procura matarte?» 21 Jesús les respondió: «Hice una obra, ¡y todos se quedan asombrados! 22 Por cierto, Moisés les dio la circuncisión(B) (no porque sea de Moisés, sino de los padres(C)), ¡y en el día de reposo ustedes circuncidan al hombre! 23 Si para no quebrantar la ley de Moisés, el hombre es circuncidado en el día de reposo, ¿por qué ustedes se enojan conmigo por sanar completamente a un hombre en el día de reposo?(D) 24 Sean justos en sus juicios, y no juzguen según las apariencias.»
¿Es éste el Cristo?
25 Algunos de Jerusalén decían: «¿Qué, no es éste al que buscan para matarlo? 26 Pero véanlo hablar tranquilamente, y nadie le dice nada. ¿Será que en verdad las autoridades han reconocido que éste es el Cristo? 27 Bien sabemos de dónde viene éste, pero cuando venga el Cristo nadie sabrá de dónde viene.» 28 Mientras Jesús enseñaba en el templo, exclamó: «A mí me conocen, y saben de dónde soy, y que no he venido por mi cuenta; pero el que me envió, a quien ustedes no conocen, es verdadero. 29 Yo sí lo conozco, porque de él procedo, y él fue quien me envió.» 30 Y aunque procuraban aprehenderlo, ninguno le puso la mano encima, porque su hora aún no había llegado. 31 Pero muchos de la multitud creyeron en él, y decían: «El Cristo, cuando venga, ¿hará más señales que las que éste hace?»
Los fariseos envían alguaciles para arrestar a Jesús
32 Los fariseos oyeron que la gente murmuraba estas cosas acerca de él; entonces los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos enviaron guardias para que lo arrestaran. 33 Pero Jesús dijo: «Voy a estar con ustedes un poco más de tiempo, y luego volveré al que me envió. 34 Ustedes me buscarán, pero no me hallarán; a donde yo voy a estar, ustedes no podrán venir.» 35 Los judíos dijeron entre sí: «¿Y a dónde se irá éste, que no podremos hallarlo? ¿Acaso se irá a los que andan dispersos entre los griegos, para enseñar a los griegos? 36 ¿Qué significa esto de que: “Me buscarán, pero no me hallarán”; y de que “a donde yo voy a estar, ustedes no podrán venir”?»
Ríos de agua viva
37 En el último y gran día de la fiesta,(E) Jesús se puso en pie y en voz alta dijo: «Si alguno tiene sed, venga a mí y beba. 38 Del interior del que cree en mí, correrán ríos de agua viva, como dice la Escritura.»(F) 39 Jesús se refería al Espíritu que recibirían los que creyeran en él. El Espíritu aún no había venido, porque Jesús aún no había sido glorificado.
División entre la gente
40 Algunos de la multitud, al oír estas palabras, decían: «En verdad, éste es el profeta.» 41 Otros decían: «Éste es el Cristo.» Pero algunos otros decían: «¿Y de Galilea habría de venir el Cristo? 42 ¿Acaso no dice la Escritura que el Cristo será descendiente de David, y que vendrá de la aldea de Belén,(G) de donde era David?» 43 Y por causa de él hubo disensión entre la gente. 44 Algunos de ellos querían aprehenderlo; pero ninguno le puso la mano encima.
¡Nunca nadie ha hablado así!
45 Los guardias fueron adonde estaban los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos, y éstos les dijeron: «¿Por qué no lo han traído?» 46 Los guardias respondieron: «¡Nunca antes alguien ha hablado como este hombre!» 47 Pero los fariseos les respondieron: «¿También ustedes han sido engañados? 48 ¿Acaso ha creído en él alguno de los gobernantes, o de los fariseos? 49 Pero esta gente, que no conoce la ley, está bajo maldición.» 50 Nicodemo, que había ido a hablar con Jesús de noche(H) y era uno de ellos, les dijo: 51 «¿Acaso nuestra ley juzga a un hombre sin antes oírlo y sin saber lo que ha hecho?» 52 Los fariseos le respondieron: «¿Qué, también tú eres galileo? Escudriña y verás que de Galilea nunca ha surgido un profeta.»
