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.

Jesus Goes to the Festival of Tabernacles
7 After this, Jesus went around in Galilee. He did not want[a] to go about in Judea because the Jewish leaders(A) there were looking for a way to kill him.(B) 2 But when the Jewish Festival of Tabernacles(C) was near, 3 Jesus’ brothers(D) said to him, “Leave Galilee and go to Judea, so that your disciples there may see the works you do. 4 No one who wants to become a public figure acts in secret. Since you are doing these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For even his own brothers did not believe in him.(E)
6 Therefore Jesus told them, “My time(F) is not yet here; for you any time will do. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me(G) because I testify that its works are evil.(H) 8 You go to the festival. I am not[b] going up to this festival, because my time(I) has not yet fully come.” 9 After he had said this, he stayed in Galilee.
10 However, after his brothers had left for the festival, he went also, not publicly, but in secret. 11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were watching for Jesus(J) and asking, “Where is he?”
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”(K) 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.(L)
Jesus Teaches at the Festival
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.(M) 15 The Jews(N) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning(O) without having been taught?”(P)
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.(Q) 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out(R) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,(S) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law?(T) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”(U)
20 “You are demon-possessed,”(V) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle,(W) and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision(X) (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs),(Y) you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”(Z)
Division Over Who Jesus Is
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?(AA) 26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities(AB) really concluded that he is the Messiah?(AC) 27 But we know where this man is from;(AD) when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from.”
28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts,(AE) cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from.(AF) I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true.(AG) You do not know him, 29 but I know him(AH) because I am from him and he sent me.”(AI)
30 At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him,(AJ) because his hour had not yet come.(AK) 31 Still, many in the crowd believed in him.(AL) They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs(AM) than this man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.
33 Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time,(AN) and then I am 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 The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered(AQ) among the Greeks,(AR) and teach the Greeks? 36 What did he mean when he said, ‘You will look for me, but you will not find me,’ and ‘Where I am, you cannot come’?”(AS)
37 On the last and greatest day of the festival,(AT) Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink.(AU) 38 Whoever believes(AV) in me, as Scripture has said,(AW) rivers of living water(AX) will flow from within them.”[c](AY) 39 By this he meant the Spirit,(AZ) whom those who believed in him were later to receive.(BA) Up to that time the Spirit had not been given, since Jesus had not yet been glorified.(BB)
40 On hearing his words, some of the people said, “Surely this man is the Prophet.”(BC)
41 Others said, “He is the Messiah.”
Still others asked, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?(BD) 42 Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants(BE) and from Bethlehem,(BF) the town where David lived?” 43 Thus the people were divided(BG) because of Jesus. 44 Some wanted to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him.(BH)
Unbelief of the Jewish Leaders
45 Finally the temple guards went back to the chief priests and the Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring him in?”
46 “No one ever spoke the way this man does,”(BI) the guards replied.
47 “You mean he has deceived you also?”(BJ) the Pharisees retorted. 48 “Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?(BK) 49 No! But this mob that knows nothing of the law—there is a curse on them.”
50 Nicodemus,(BL) who had gone to Jesus earlier and who was one of their own number, asked, 51 “Does our law condemn a man without first hearing him to find out what he has been doing?”
52 They replied, “Are you from Galilee, too? Look into it, and you will find that a prophet does not come out of Galilee.”(BM)
[The earliest manuscripts and many other ancient witnesses do not have John 7:53—8:11. A few manuscripts include these verses, wholly or in part, after John 7:36, John 21:25, Luke 21:38 or Luke 24:53.]
53 Then they all went home,

Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Si Jesus at ang Kanyang mga Kapatid
7 Pagkatapos nito, nilibot ni Jesus ang Galilea. Iniwasan niyang pumunta sa Judea dahil gusto siyang patayin ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio roon. 2 Nang malapit na ang pista ng mga Judio na tinatawag na Pista ng Pagtatayo ng mga Kubol,[a] 3 sinabi ng mga kapatid ni Jesus sa kanya, “Bakit hindi ka umalis dito at pumunta sa Judea para makita ng mga tagasunod mo ang mga ginagawa mo? 4 Dahil walang taong gumagawa nang patago kung gusto niyang sumikat. Gumagawa ka na rin lang ng himala, ipakita mo na sa lahat!” 5 (Sinabi ito ng mga kapatid ni Jesus dahil kahit sila ay hindi sumasampalataya sa kanya.) 6 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi pa ngayon ang panahon para sa akin, pero kayo, pwede nʼyong gawin kahit anong oras ang gusto ninyo. 7 Hindi sa inyo napopoot ang mga taong makamundo, ngunit sa akin sila napopoot, dahil inilalantad ko ang kasamaan nila. 8 Kayo na lang ang pumunta sa pista. Hindi ako pupunta dahil hindi pa ito ang panahon ko.” 9 Pagkasabi niya nito, nagpaiwan siya sa Galilea.
Pumunta si Jesus sa Pista
10 Pagkaalis ng mga kapatid ni Jesus papunta sa pista, pumunta rin si Jesus pero palihim. 11 Doon sa pista, hinahanap siya ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio. “Nasaan kaya siya?” tanong nila. 12 Maraming bulung-bulungan ang mga tao tungkol kay Jesus. May nagsasabi, “Mabuti siyang tao.” Sabi naman ng iba, “Hindi, niloloko lang niya ang mga tao.” 13 Pero walang nagsasalita tungkol sa kanya nang hayagan dahil sa takot sa mga pinuno ng mga Judio.
14 Nang kalagitnaan na ng pista, pumunta si Jesus sa templo at nangaral. 15 Namangha sa kanya ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio, at sinabi nila, “Paano niya nalaman ang mga bagay na ito, gayong hindi naman siya nakapag-aral?” 16 Kaya sinabi ni Jesus sa kanila, “Hindi galing sa akin ang mga itinuturo ko, kundi sa nagsugo sa akin. 17 Malalaman ng sinumang gustong sumunod sa kalooban ng Dios kung ang itinuturo koʼy galing nga sa Dios o sa akin lang. 18 Ang nagtuturo nang mula sa sarili niyang karunungan ay naghahangad lang na papurihan siya. Ngunit ang naghahangad na papurihan ang nagsugo sa kanya ay tapat at hindi sinungaling. 19 Hindi baʼt ibinigay sa inyo ni Moises ang Kautusan? Ngunit wala ni isa man sa inyo ang sumusunod sa Kautusan. Dahil kung sinusunod ninyo ang Kautusan, bakit gusto nʼyo akong patayin?” 20 Sumagot ang mga tao, “Sinasaniban ka na siguro ng masamang espiritu! Sino naman ang gustong pumatay sa iyo?” 21 Sinabi sa kanila ni Jesus, “Nagtaka kayo dahil may pinagaling ako noong Araw ng Pamamahinga. 22 Hindi baʼt ibinigay sa inyo ni Moises ang utos tungkol sa pagtutuli? (Hindi ito nagmula kay Moises kundi sa mga nauna pang mga ninuno). At dahil dito, tinutuli nʼyo ang bata kahit sa Araw ng Pamamahinga. 23 Ngayon, kung tinutuli nʼyo nga ang bata sa Araw ng Pamamahinga para hindi masuway ang utos ni Moises, bakit kayo nagagalit sa akin dahil pinagaling ko ang isang tao sa Araw ng Pamamahinga? 24 Huwag kayong humusga ayon lang sa nakikita ninyo, kundi humusga kayo ayon sa nararapat.”
Nagtanong ang mga Tao kung si Jesus nga ba ang Cristo
25 Sinabi ng ilang taga-Jerusalem, “Hindi ba ito ang taong gustong patayin ng mga pinuno natin? 26 Pero tingnan ninyo, lantaran siyang nangangaral at walang sinasabi ang mga pinuno laban sa kanya. Baka kinikilala na nilang siya ang Cristo? 27 Pero alam natin kung saan siya nanggaling, pero ang Cristo na darating ay walang nakakaalam kung saan siya manggagaling.”
28 Habang nagtuturo si Jesus sa templo, sinabi niya nang malakas, “Totoo bang kilala ninyo ako at kung saan ako nanggaling? Sinasabi ko sa inyo ang totoo, hindi ako naparito sa sarili kong kagustuhan. Ang tunay na Dios ang nagsugo sa akin, pero hindi ninyo siya kilala. 29 Kilala ko siya dahil nanggaling ako sa kanya, at siya ang nagsugo sa akin.” 30 Dahil sa mga sinabing ito ni Jesus, gusto na sana siyang dakpin ng mga pinuno ng mga Judio, pero walang humuli sa kanya dahil hindi pa ito ang oras niya. 31 Sa kabila nito, marami pa rin sa mga tao ang sumampalataya sa kanya. Sinabi nila, “Siya na nga ang Cristo, dahil walang makakahigit sa mga himalang ginagawa niya.”
Inutusan ang mga Guwardya sa Templo na Dakpin si Jesus
32 Narinig ng mga Pariseo ang usap-usapan ng mga tao tungkol kay Jesus. Kaya inutusan nila at ng mga namamahalang pari ang mga guwardya sa templo na dakpin si Jesus. 33 Sinabi ni Jesus, “Sandali nʼyo na lang akong makakasama, at pagkatapos nitoʼy babalik na ako sa nagsugo sa akin. 34 Hahanapin nʼyo ako, pero hindi nʼyo makikita, dahil hindi kayo makakapunta sa pupuntahan ko.” 35 Nagtanungan ang mga pinuno ng mga Judio, “Saan kaya niya balak pumunta at hindi na raw natin siya makikita? Pupunta kaya siya sa mga lugar ng mga Griego, kung saan nagsipangalat ang mga kapwa natin Judio, para mangaral sa mga Griego? 36 Bakit kaya niya sinabing, ‘Hahanapin ninyo ako ngunit hindi ninyo ako makikita, dahil hindi kayo makakapunta sa aking pupuntahan’?”
Ang Tubig na Nagbibigay-buhay
37 Nang dumating ang huli at pinakamahalagang araw ng pista, tumayo si Jesus at sinabi nang malakas, “Ang sinumang nauuhaw ay lumapit sa akin at uminom. 38 Sapagkat sinasabi sa Kasulatan na dadaloy ang tubig na nagbibigay-buhay mula sa puso ng sumasampalataya sa akin.” 39 (Ang tubig na tinutukoy ni Jesus ay ang Banal na Espiritu na malapit nang tanggapin ng mga sumasampalataya sa kanya. Hindi pa naipagkakaloob ang Banal na Espiritu nang panahong iyon dahil hindi pa nakabalik sa langit si Jesus.)
Ang Paniniwala ng mga Tao tungkol kay Jesus
40 Maraming tao ang nakarinig sa sinabing iyon ni Jesus, at sinabi ng ilan sa kanila, “Siya na nga ang Propeta na hinihintay natin!” 41 Sinabi naman ng iba, “Siya na nga ang Cristo!” Pero may nagsabi rin, “Hindi siya ang Cristo, dahil hindi maaaring manggaling ang Cristo sa Galilea. 42 Hindi baʼt sinasabi sa Kasulatan na ang Cristo ay manggagaling sa lahi ni Haring David, at ipapanganak sa Betlehem na bayan ni David?” 43 Kaya iba-iba ang paniniwala ng mga tao tungkol kay Jesus. 44 Gusto ng ilan na dakpin siya, pero walang humuli sa kanya.
Ayaw Maniwala ng mga Pinuno ng mga Judio kay Jesus
45 Bumalik ang mga guwardya ng templo sa mga namamahalang pari at mga Pariseo na nag-utos sa kanila na dakpin si Jesus. Tinanong sila ng mga ito, “Bakit hindi ninyo siya dinala rito?” 46 Sumagot sila, “Ngayon lang po kami nakarinig ng katulad niyang magsalita.” 47 Sinabi ng mga Pariseo, “Kung ganoon, pati kayo ay naloko na rin ng taong iyon? 48 May nakita na ba kayong mga pinuno o mga Pariseong sumasampalataya sa kanya? 49 Wala! Mga tao lang na walang alam sa Kautusan ni Moises ang sumasampalataya sa kanya. Sumpain sila ng Dios!” 50 Isa sa mga Pariseong naroon ay si Nicodemus, na minsang dumalaw kay Jesus. Sinabi niya sa mga kasamahan niya, 51 “Hindi baʼt labag sa Kautusan natin na hatulan ang isang tao hanggaʼt hindi siya nalilitis at inaalam kung ano ang ginawa niya?” 52 Sumagot sila kay Nicodemus, “Taga-Galilea ka rin ba? Magsaliksik ka sa Kasulatan at makikita mong walang propetang nanggagaling sa Galilea.” 53 [Pagkatapos nito, nag-uwian na silang lahat.]
