Jesús va a la fiesta de los Tabernáculos
7 Algún tiempo después, Jesús andaba por Galilea. No tenía ningún interés en ir a Judea, porque allí los judíos buscaban la oportunidad para matarlo. 2 Faltaba poco tiempo para la fiesta judía de los Tabernáculos,[a] 3 así que los hermanos de Jesús le dijeron:
―Deberías salir de aquí e ir a Judea, para que tus discípulos vean las obras que realizas, 4 porque nadie que quiera darse a conocer actúa en secreto. Ya que haces estas cosas, deja que el mundo te conozca.
5 Lo cierto es que ni siquiera sus hermanos creían en él. 6 Por eso Jesús les dijo:
―Para vosotros cualquier tiempo es bueno, pero mi tiempo aún no ha llegado. 7 El mundo no tiene motivos para aborreceros; a mí, sin embargo, me aborrece porque yo testifico que sus obras son malas. 8 Subid vosotros a la fiesta. Yo no voy todavía[b] a esta fiesta porque mi tiempo aún no ha llegado.
9 Dicho esto, se quedó en Galilea. 10 Sin embargo, cuando sus hermanos hubieron subido a la fiesta, fue también él, no públicamente, sino en secreto. 11 Por eso las autoridades judías lo buscaban durante la fiesta, y decían: «¿Dónde se habrá metido?»
12 Entre la multitud corrían muchos rumores acerca de él. Unos decían: «Es una buena persona». Otros alegaban: «No, lo que pasa es que engaña a la gente». 13 Sin embargo, por temor a los judíos, nadie hablaba de él abiertamente.
Jesús enseña en la fiesta
14 Jesús esperó hasta la mitad de la fiesta para subir al templo y comenzar a enseñar. 15 Los judíos se admiraban y decían: «¿De dónde sacó este tantos conocimientos sin haber estudiado?»
16 ―Mi enseñanza no es mía —replicó Jesús—, sino del que me envió. 17 El que esté dispuesto a hacer la voluntad de Dios reconocerá si mi enseñanza proviene de Dios o si yo hablo por mi propia cuenta. 18 El que habla por cuenta propia busca su vanagloria; en cambio, el que busca glorificar al que lo envió es una persona íntegra y sin doblez. 19 ¿No os ha dado Moisés la ley a vosotros? Sin embargo, ninguno de vosotros la cumple. ¿Por qué tratáis entonces de matarme?
20 ―Estás endemoniado —contestó la multitud—. ¿Quién quiere matarte?
21 ―Hice un milagro y todos vosotros os asombrasteis. 22 Por eso Moisés os dio la circuncisión, que en realidad no proviene de Moisés, sino de los patriarcas, y aun en sábado la practicáis. 23 Ahora bien, si para cumplir la ley de Moisés circuncidáis a un varón incluso en sábado, ¿por qué os enfurecéis conmigo si en sábado lo sano por completo? 24 No juzguéis por las apariencias; juzgad con justicia.
¿Es este el Cristo?
25 Algunos de los que vivían en Jerusalén comentaban: «¿No es este al que quieren matar? 26 Ahí está, hablando abiertamente, y nadie le dice nada. ¿Será que las autoridades se han convencido de que es el Cristo? 27 Nosotros sabemos de dónde viene este hombre, pero cuando venga el Cristo nadie sabrá su procedencia».
28 Por eso Jesús, que seguía enseñando en el templo, exclamó:
―¡Con que me conocéis y sabéis de dónde vengo! No he venido por mi propia cuenta, sino que me envió uno que es digno de confianza. Vosotros no lo conocéis, 29 pero yo sí lo conozco porque vengo de parte suya, y él mismo me ha enviado.
30 Entonces quisieron arrestarlo, pero nadie le echó mano, porque aún no había llegado su hora. 31 Con todo, muchos de entre la multitud creyeron en él y decían: «Cuando venga el Cristo, ¿acaso va a hacer más señales que este hombre?»
32 Los fariseos oyeron a la multitud que murmuraba estas cosas acerca de él, y junto con los jefes de los sacerdotes mandaron unos guardias del templo para arrestarlo.
33 ―Estaré con vosotros un poco más de tiempo —afirmó Jesús—, y luego volveré al que me envió. 34 Me buscaréis, pero no me encontraréis, porque adonde yo esté no podréis llegar vosotros.
35 «¿Dónde piensa irse este para que no podamos encontrarlo? —comentaban entre sí los judíos—. ¿Será que piensa ir a nuestra gente dispersa entre las naciones,[c] para enseñar a los griegos? 36 ¿Qué quiso decir con eso de que “me buscaréis, pero no me encontraréis”, y “adonde yo esté no podréis llegar vosotros”?»
Jesús en el último día de la fiesta
37 En el último día, el más solemne de la fiesta, Jesús se puso de pie y exclamó:
―¡Si alguno tiene sed, que venga a mí y beba! 38 De aquel que cree en mí, como dice[d] la Escritura, brotarán ríos de agua viva.
39 Con esto se refería al Espíritu que habrían de recibir más tarde los que creyeran en él. Hasta ese momento el Espíritu no había sido dado, porque Jesús no había sido glorificado todavía.
40 Al oír sus palabras, algunos de entre la multitud decían: «Verdaderamente este es el profeta». 41 Otros afirmaban: «¡Es el Cristo!» Pero otros objetaban: «¿Cómo puede el Cristo venir de Galilea? 42 ¿Acaso no dice la Escritura que el Cristo vendrá de la descendencia de David, y de Belén, el pueblo de donde era David?» 43 Por causa de Jesús la gente estaba dividida. 44 Algunos querían arrestarlo, pero nadie le puso las manos encima.
Incredulidad de los dirigentes judíos
45 Los guardias del templo volvieron a los jefes de los sacerdotes y a los fariseos, quienes los interrogaron:
―¿Se puede saber por qué no lo habéis traído?
46 ―¡Nunca nadie ha hablado como ese hombre! —declararon los guardias.
47 ―¿Así que también vosotros os habéis dejado engañar? —replicaron los fariseos—. 48 ¿Acaso ha creído en él alguno de los gobernantes o de los fariseos? 49 ¡No! Pero esta gente, que no sabe nada de la ley, está bajo maldición.
50 Nicodemo, que era uno de ellos y que antes había ido a ver a Jesús, les interpeló:
51 ―¿Acaso nuestra ley condena a un hombre sin antes escucharlo y averiguar lo que hace?
52 ―¿No eres tú también de Galilea? —protestaron—. Investiga y verás que de Galilea no ha salido ningún profeta.[e]
53 Entonces todos se fueron a casa.

Jesus’ Brothers Disbelieve
7 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for He did not want to walk in Judea, (A)because the [a]Jews sought to kill Him. 2 (B)Now the Jews’ Feast of Tabernacles was at hand. 3 (C)His brothers therefore said to Him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that Your disciples also may see the works that You are doing. 4 For no one does anything in secret while he himself seeks to be known openly. If You do these things, show Yourself to the world.” 5 For (D)even His (E)brothers did not believe in Him.
6 Then Jesus said to them, (F)“My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready. 7 (G)The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me (H)because I testify of it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to this feast. I am not [b]yet going up to this feast, (I)for My time has not yet fully come.” 9 When He had said these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
The Heavenly Scholar
10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then (J)the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12 And (K)there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. (L)Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly of Him (M)for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and (N)taught. 15 (O)And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 [c]Jesus answered them and said, (P)“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 (Q)If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 (R)He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who (S)seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and (T)no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 (U)Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? (V)Why do you seek to kill Me?”
20 The people answered and said, (W)“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 (X)Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, (Y)but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because (Z)I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 (AA)Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
Could This Be the Christ?
25 Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to (AB)kill? 26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. (AC)Do the rulers know indeed that this is [d]truly the Christ? 27 (AD)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, (AE)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and (AF)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me (AG)is true, (AH)whom you do not know. 29 [e]But (AI)I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30 Therefore (AJ)they sought to take Him; but (AK)no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. 31 And (AL)many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
Jesus and the Religious Leaders
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him. 33 Then Jesus said [f]to them, (AM)“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I (AN)go to Him who sent Me. 34 You (AO)will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you (AP)cannot come.”
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to (AQ)the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”
The Promise of the Holy Spirit
37 (AR)On the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, (AS)“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. 38 (AT)He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, (AU)out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” 39 (AV)But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those [g]believing in Him would receive; for the [h]Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet (AW)glorified.
Who Is He?
40 Therefore [i]many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is (AX)the Prophet.” 41 Others said, “This is (AY)the Christ.”
But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee? 42 (AZ)Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, (BA)where David was?” 43 So (BB)there was a division among the people because of Him. 44 Now (BC)some of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
Rejected by the Authorities
45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”
46 The officers answered, (BD)“No man ever spoke like this Man!”
47 Then the Pharisees answered them, “Are you also deceived? 48 Have any of the rulers or the Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this crowd that does not know the law is accursed.”
50 Nicodemus (BE)(he who came to [j]Jesus [k]by night, being one of them) said to them, 51 (BF)“Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?”
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and look, for (BG)no prophet [l]has arisen out of Galilee.”
An Adulteress Faces the Light of the World
53 [m]And everyone went to his own house.

Đức Giê-su Giảng Trong Kỳ Lễ Lều Tạm
7 Sau các việc ấy, Đức Giê-su đi khắp miền Ga-li-lê; Ngài không muốn lui tới miền Giu-đê nữa vì người Do Thái đang âm mưu giết Ngài. 2 Gần đến kỳ lễ Lều Tạm của người Do Thái, 3 các em trai của Đức Giê-su nói với Ngài: “Sao anh không rời đây mà lên Giu-đê để các môn đệ anh được thấy những việc anh làm? 4 Vì có ai muốn được nhiều người biết mà lại làm việc một cách kín đáo? Đã làm được những việc này thì anh nên ra mặt cho thiên hạ biết đi!” 5 Vì các em Ngài không tin theo Ngài, 6 nên Đức Giê-su bảo họ: “Thời điểm của Ta chưa tới, nhưng đối với các ngươi, thì giờ nào cũng thuận tiện. 7 Thiên hạ làm sao ghét các ngươi được, nhưng họ ghét Ta, vì chính Ta đã làm chứng rằng những việc họ làm là gian ác. 8 Các ngươi cứ lên dự lễ; Ta chưa lên dự kỳ lễ này đâu, vì giờ của Ta chưa tới!” 9 Sau khi nói những lời ấy, Ngài nán lại xứ Ga-li-lê.
10 Sau khi các em Ngài đã lên dự lễ rồi, thì chính Ngài cũng đi, nhưng kín đáo chứ không công khai. 11 Trong kỳ lễ, người Do Thái đi tìm Ngài và hỏi nhau: “Người ấy đâu rồi?”
12 Đám đông xì xào bàn tán nhiều về Ngài. Người thì nói: “Ông ấy là người nhân đức!” Kẻ khác lại bảo: “Không phải đâu, ông ấy chỉ mị dân!” 13 Tuy nhiên, không ai dám nói công khai về Ngài vì sợ người Do Thái.
14 Đến giữa kỳ lễ, Đức Giê-su lên đền thờ giảng dạy. 15 Người Do Thái kinh ngạc bảo nhau: “Người này không học mà sao lại hiểu biết kinh sách như vậy?”
16 Đức Giê-su đáp: “Giáo lý Ta dạy không phải của Ta mà là của Đấng đã sai Ta đến! 17 Người nào chịu làm theo ý Ngài sẽ biết giáo lý này đến từ Đức Chúa Trời hay là chính Ta tự nói ra. 18 Kẻ tự ý mình mà nói thì chỉ tìm danh vọng riêng cho mình. Còn người lo tôn vinh Đấng đã sai mình mới là người chân thật, không có gì bất chính. 19 Môi-se đã chẳng ban bố Kinh Luật cho các ngươi sao? Thế mà không một ai trong các ngươi vâng giữ Kinh Luật ấy. Sao các ngươi lại tìm cách giết Ta?”
20 Đoàn dân trả lời: “Ông bị quỷ nhập rồi, chứ có ai tìm giết ông đâu!”
21 Đức Giê-su nói: “Ta mới làm một việc mà tất cả các ngươi đều đã kinh ngạc. 22 Vì Môi-se đã truyền cho các ngươi lễ cắt bì (thật ra, không phải Môi-se mà các tổ phụ truyền lại), nên các ngươi làm lễ cắt bì cho người ta trong ngày Sa-bát. 23 Người ta được phép chịu lễ cắt bì trong ngày Sa-bát mà vẫn khỏi phạm luật Môi-se, thì cũng trong ngày Sa-bát, Ta chữa lành toàn thân một người, sao các ngươi lại tức giận với Ta? 24 Đừng xét theo bề ngoài nhưng hãy lấy lẽ công minh mà xét!”
25 Vậy, vài người dân thành Giê-ru-sa-lem hỏi nhau: “Đây không phải là người mà họ đang tìm cách giết sao? 26 Kìa, sao người ấy phát biểu công khai mà không ai nói gì cả? Hay là cấp lãnh đạo đã biết người này thật là Chúa Cứu Thế? 27 Khi Chúa Cứu Thế xuất hiện thì không ai biết Ngài từ đâu đến, còn người này chúng ta đã rõ lai lịch!”
28 Đang giảng dạy trong đền thờ, Đức Giê-su liền lên tiếng nói rằng: “Phải, các ngươi biết Ta và biết Ta từ đâu đến! Ta không tự mình đến đây, nhưng có Đấng Chân Thật đã sai Ta mà các ngươi không biết. 29 Còn Ta thì biết Ngài vì Ta từ Ngài mà đến và Ngài là Đấng đã sai Ta.”
30 Vậy, họ tìm cách bắt Ngài, nhưng chưa ai ra tay được, vì giờ của Ngài chưa tới. 31 Tuy nhiên, nhiều người trong đoàn dân tin Ngài và nói: “Khi Chúa Cứu Thế đến, chắc gì đã làm được nhiều dấu lạ hơn người này!”
Âm Mưu Bắt Chúa
32 Những người Pha-ri-si nghe đoàn dân xì xào bàn tán về Ngài như vậy, liền cùng với các thượng tế sai thuộc hạ đi bắt Ngài.
33 Đức Giê-su nói: “Ta còn ở với các ngươi ít lâu nữa rồi Ta sẽ đi về cùng Đấng đã sai Ta. 34 Dù các ngươi có tìm Ta cũng chẳng gặp, vì các ngươi không thể đến được nơi Ta ở!”
35 Người Do Thái bảo nhau: “Người này sắp đi đâu mà chúng ta sẽ không gặp được? Hay ông ta đi đến với kiều bào tản lạc ở hải ngoại giữa vòng người Hy Lạp để giảng dạy cho người Hy Lạp nữa? 36 Ông ta ngụ ý gì mà lại nói rằng: Các ngươi có tìm Ta cũng chẳng gặp được và các ngươi không thể đến nơi Ta ở?”
Nước Hằng Sống
37 Đến ngày cuối là ngày trọng thể của kỳ lễ, Đức Giê-su đứng lên, phán: “Người nào khát, hãy đến cùng Ta mà uống! 38 Người nào tin Ta thì sông nước hằng sống sẽ tuôn trào từ cõi lòng người ấy, như Kinh Thánh đã nói.” 39 Đức Giê-su nói điều này để chỉ về Thánh Linh mà những người tin Ngài sắp nhận lãnh. Thật ra, Thánh Linh chưa được ban vì Đức Giê-su chưa được hiển vinh.
40 Nghe những lời này, một số người trong đoàn dân bảo: “Người này chính thật là vị tiên tri!”
41 Số khác lại nói: “Người này chính là Chúa Cứu Thế!” Nhưng cũng có những người khác thắc mắc: “Chúa Cứu Thế mà lại xuất thân từ miền Ga-li-lê sao? 42 Kinh Thánh đã chẳng từng dạy rằng Chúa Cứu Thế phải ra từ dòng vua Đa-vít, cùng nguyên quán Bết-lê-hem với vua Đa-vít sao?” 43 Do đó, dân chúng chia rẽ nhau vì cớ Ngài. 44 Một số người muốn bắt giữ Ngài, nhưng chẳng một ai dám ra tay.
45 Khi đám thuộc hạ trở về, các thượng tế và người Pha-ri-si hỏi họ: “Sao không giải hắn đến đây?”
46 Họ đáp: “Chưa bao giờ có ai ăn nói hay như người này!”
47 Người Pha-ri-si hỏi vặn lại: “Chính các ngươi cũng bị lừa sao? 48 Có ai trong bậc quan quyền hay người Pha-ri-si tin hắn đâu? 49 Nhưng đám dân này không biết Kinh Luật thật đáng bị rủa sả!”
50 Trong nhóm Pha-ri-si có Ni-cô-đem là người đã đến gặp Ngài trước đây lên tiếng: 51 “Luật lệ của chúng ta đâu cho phép xét xử một người trước khi nghe người ấy nói và biết việc người ấy làm?”
52 Họ đáp: “Ông cũng xuất thân từ Ga-li-lê sao? Cứ tra cứu Kinh Thánh ông sẽ thấy rõ rằng không một vị tiên tri nào của Chúa xuất thân từ Ga-li-lê cả!” 53 Thế là mọi người bỏ đi, ai về nhà nấy.

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,

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.
