Juan 7
Biblia del Jubileo
7 ¶ Y pasadas estas cosas andaba Jesús en Galilea; que no quería andar en Judea, porque los judíos procuraban matarle.
2 Y estaba cerca la Fiesta de los judíos, la de los Tabernáculos.
3 Y le dijeron sus hermanos: Pásate de aquí, y vete a Judea, para que tus discípulos también vean las obras que haces.
4 Que ninguno que procura ser claro, hace algo en oculto. Si estas cosas haces, manifiéstate al mundo.
5 Porque ni aun sus hermanos creían en él.
6 Les dice entonces Jesús: Mi tiempo aún no es venido; mas vuestro tiempo siempre es presto.
7 No puede el mundo aborreceros a vosotros; mas a mí me aborrece, porque yo doy testimonio de él, que sus obras son malas.
8 Vosotros subid a esta Fiesta; yo no subo aún a esta Fiesta, porque mi tiempo aún no es cumplido.
9 Y habiéndoles dicho esto, permaneció en Galilea.
10 Mas como sus hermanos hubieron subido, entonces él también subió al día de la Fiesta, no manifiestamente, sino como en cubierto.
11 Y le buscaban los judíos en la Fiesta, y decían: ¿Dónde está aquel?
12 Y había grande murmullo de él en el pueblo, porque unos decían: Bueno es; y otros decían: No, antes engaña al pueblo.
13 Mas ninguno hablaba abiertamente de él, por miedo de los judíos.
14 ¶ Y al medio de la Fiesta subió Jesús al Templo, y enseñaba.
15 Y se maravillaban los judíos, diciendo: ¿Cómo sabe éste letras, no habiendo aprendido?
16 Les respondió Jesús, y dijo: Mi doctrina no es mía, sino de aquel que me envió.
17 El que quisiere hacer su voluntad, conocerá de la doctrina si viene de Dios, o si yo hablo de mí mismo.
18 El que habla de sí mismo, gloria propia busca; mas el que busca la gloria del que le envió, éste es verdadero, y no hay en él injusticia.
19 ¿No os dio Moisés la ley, y ninguno de vosotros cumple la ley? ¿Por qué me procuráis matar?
20 Respondió el pueblo, y dijo: Demonio tienes; ¿quién te procura matar?
21 Jesús respondió, y les dijo: Una obra hice, y todos os maravilláis.
22 Cierto, Moisés os dio la circuncisión (no porque sea de Moisés, sino de los padres); y en sábado circuncidáis al hombre.
23 Si recibe un hombre la circuncisión en sábado, sin que la ley de Moisés sea quebrantada, ¿os enojáis conmigo porque en sábado hice sano del todo a un hombre?
24 No juzguéis según lo que parece, mas juzgad con justo juicio.
25 Decía entonces uno de los de Jerusalén: ¿No es éste al que buscan para matarle?
26 Y he aquí, habla públicamente, y no le dicen nada; ¿han por ventura entendido verdaderamente los príncipes, que éste es el Cristo?
27 Mas éste, sabemos de dónde es; y cuando viniere el Cristo, nadie sabrá de dónde sea.
28 Entonces clamaba Jesús en el Templo, enseñando y diciendo: Y a mí me conocéis, y sabéis de dónde soy; pero no he venido de mí mismo; mas el que me envió es verdadero, al cual vosotros no ignoráis.
29 Pero yo le conozco, porque de él soy, y él me envió.
30 Entonces procuraban prenderle; mas ninguno puso en él mano, porque aún no había venido su hora.
31 Y muchos del pueblo creyeron en él, y decían: El Cristo, cuando viniere, ¿hará más señales que las que éste hace?
32 Los fariseos oyeron al pueblo que murmuraba de él estas cosas; y los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los fariseos enviaron servidores que le prendieran.
33 Y Jesús dijo: Aún un poco de tiempo estaré con vosotros, e iré al que me envió.
34 Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir.
35 Entonces los judíos dijeron entre sí: ¿A dónde se ha de ir éste que no le hallemos? ¿Se ha de ir a los esparcidos entre los griegos, y a enseñar a los griegos?
36 ¿Qué dicho es éste que dijo: Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir?
37 ¶ Mas en el postrer día, el día grande de la Fiesta, se puso de pie y clamó, diciendo: Si alguno tiene sed, venga a mí y beba.
38 El que cree en mí, como dice la Escritura, ríos de agua viva correrán de su vientre.
39 (Y esto dijo del Espíritu que habían de recibir los que creyeran en él; porque aún no era dado el Espíritu Santo, porque Jesús aún no era glorificado.)
40 Entonces muchos del pueblo, oyendo este dicho, decían: Verdaderamente éste es el profeta.
41 Otros decían: Este es el Cristo. Algunos sin embargo decían: ¿De Galilea ha de venir el Cristo?
42 ¿No dice la Escritura, que de la simiente de David, y de la aldea de Belén, de donde era David, vendrá el Cristo?
43 Así que había disensión entre el pueblo por él.
44 Y algunos de ellos querían prenderle; mas ninguno echó sobre él manos.
45 ¶ Y los servidores vinieron a los sumo sacerdotes y a los fariseos; y ellos les dijeron: ¿Por qué no le trajisteis?
46 Los servidores respondieron: Nunca ha hablado nadie así como este hombre.
47 Entonces los fariseos les respondieron: ¿Habéis sido también vosotros engañados?
48 ¿Ha creído en él alguno de los príncipes, o de los fariseos?
49 Sino este pueblo que no sabe la ley, malditos son.
50 Les dice Nicodemo (el que vino a él de noche, el cual era uno de ellos):
51 ¿Nuestra ley juzga por ventura a un hombre, si primero no oyere de él, y entendiere lo que ha hecho?
52 Respondieron y le dijeron: ¿No eres tú también galileo? Escudriña y ve que de Galilea nunca se levantó profeta.
53 Y se fue cada uno a su casa.
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.”

BRG Bible
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.
