Juan 7
La Biblia de las Américas
La fiesta de los Tabernáculos
7 Después de esto, Jesús andaba por Galilea(A), pues no quería andar por Judea porque los judíos(B) procuraban matarle(C). 2 Y la fiesta de los judíos, la de los Tabernáculos(D), estaba cerca. 3 Por eso sus hermanos(E) le dijeron: Sal de aquí, y vete a Judea para que también tus discípulos(F) vean las obras que tú haces. 4 Porque nadie hace nada en secreto cuando[a] procura ser conocido en público. Si haces estas cosas, muéstrate al mundo. 5 Porque ni aun sus hermanos(G) creían en Él. 6 Entonces Jesús les dijo*: Mi tiempo aún no ha llegado(H), pero vuestro tiempo es siempre oportuno. 7 El mundo no puede odiaros a vosotros, pero a mí me odia(I), porque yo doy testimonio de él, que sus acciones son malas(J). 8 Subid vosotros a la fiesta; yo no subo a esta fiesta porque aún mi tiempo no se ha cumplido(K). 9 Y habiéndoles dicho esto, se quedó en Galilea.
Jesús sube a la fiesta en secreto
10 Pero cuando sus hermanos(L) subieron a la fiesta, entonces Él también subió; no abiertamente, sino en[b] secreto. 11 Por eso los judíos(M) le buscaban en la fiesta(N) y decían: ¿Dónde está ese? 12 Y había mucha murmuración entre la gente acerca de Él. Unos decían: Él es bueno. Otros decían: No, al contrario, extravía a la gente(O). 13 Sin embargo, nadie hablaba abiertamente de Él por miedo a los judíos(P).
Jesús enseña durante la fiesta
14 Pero ya a mitad de la fiesta, Jesús subió al templo y se puso a enseñar(Q). 15 Entonces los judíos(R) se maravillaban, diciendo: ¿Cómo puede este saber de letras(S) sin haber estudiado? 16 Jesús entonces les respondió y dijo: Mi enseñanza(T) no es mía, sino del que me envió. 17 Si alguien quiere hacer su voluntad, sabrá si mi enseñanza es de Dios o si hablo de mí mismo(U). 18 El que habla de sí mismo busca su propia gloria; pero el que busca la gloria del que le envió(V), este es verdadero y no hay injusticia en Él. 19 ¿No os dio Moisés la ley(W), y sin embargo ninguno de vosotros la cumple[c]? ¿Por qué procuráis matarme(X)? 20 La multitud contestó: ¡Tienes un demonio(Y)! ¿Quién procura matarte? 21 Respondió Jesús y les dijo: Una sola obra hice(Z) y todos os admiráis. 22 Por eso Moisés os ha dado la circuncisión(AA) (no porque sea de Moisés, sino de los padres(AB)), y en el día de reposo circuncidáis al hombre. 23 Y si para no violar la ley de Moisés un hombre recibe la circuncisión en el día de reposo(AC), ¿por qué estáis enojados conmigo porque sané por completo a un hombre en el día de reposo? 24 No juzguéis por la apariencia, sino juzgad con[d] juicio justo(AD).
25 Entonces algunos de Jerusalén decían: ¿No es este al que procuran matar? 26 Y ved, habla en público y no le dicen nada. ¿No será que en verdad los gobernantes(AE) reconocen que este es el Cristo[e]? 27 Sin embargo, nosotros sabemos de dónde es este; pero cuando venga el Cristo, nadie sabrá de dónde es(AF). 28 Jesús entonces, mientras enseñaba(AG) en el templo, exclamó en alta voz, diciendo: Vosotros me conocéis y sabéis de dónde soy(AH). Yo no he venido por mi propia cuenta(AI), pero el que me envió es verdadero, a quien vosotros no conocéis. 29 Yo le conozco(AJ), porque procedo de Él(AK), y Él me envió(AL). 30 Procuraban, pues, prenderle(AM); pero nadie le echó mano porque todavía no había llegado su hora(AN). 31 Pero muchos de la multitud creyeron en Él(AO), y decían: Cuando el Cristo[f](AP) venga, ¿acaso hará más señales[g](AQ) que las que este ha hecho? 32 Los fariseos oyeron a la multitud murmurando estas cosas acerca de Él, y los principales sacerdotes y los fariseos enviaron alguaciles(AR) para que le prendieran(AS). 33 Entonces Jesús dijo: Por un poco más de tiempo estoy con vosotros(AT); después voy al que me envió(AU). 34 Me buscaréis y no me hallaréis; y donde yo esté, vosotros no podéis ir(AV). 35 Decían entonces los judíos(AW) entre sí: ¿Adónde piensa irse este(AX) que no le hallemos? ¿Será acaso que quiere irse a la dispersión(AY) entre los griegos(AZ) y enseñar a los griegos? 36 ¿Qué quiere decir esto que ha dicho: «Me buscaréis y no me hallaréis; y donde yo esté, vosotros no podéis ir(BA)»?
La gran invitación
37 Y en el último día, el gran día de la fiesta(BB), Jesús puesto en pie, exclamó en alta voz, diciendo: Si alguno tiene sed, que venga a mí y beba[h](BC). 38 El que cree en mí, como ha dicho la Escritura: «De lo más profundo de su ser[i] brotarán ríos de agua(BD) viva(BE)». 39 Pero Él decía esto del Espíritu(BF), que los que habían creído en Él habían de recibir; porque el Espíritu no había sido dado todavía[j](BG), pues Jesús aún no había sido glorificado(BH). 40 Entonces algunos de la multitud, cuando oyeron estas palabras, decían: Verdaderamente este es el Profeta(BI). 41 Otros decían: Este es el Cristo[k]. Pero otros decían: ¿Acaso el Cristo[l] ha de venir de Galilea(BJ)? 42 ¿No ha dicho la Escritura que el Cristo viene de la descendencia de David, y de Belén(BK), la aldea de donde era David? 43 Así que se suscitó una división(BL) entre la multitud por causa de Él. 44 Y algunos de ellos querían prenderle, pero nadie le echó mano(BM).
Los alguaciles confundidos
45 Entonces los alguaciles(BN) vinieron a los principales sacerdotes y fariseos, y estos les dijeron: ¿Por qué no le trajisteis? 46 Los alguaciles(BO) respondieron: ¡Jamás hombre alguno ha hablado como este hombre habla(BP)! 47 Entonces los fariseos les contestaron: ¿Es que también vosotros os habéis dejado engañar(BQ)? 48 ¿Acaso ha creído en Él alguno de los gobernantes(BR), o de los fariseos? 49 Pero esta multitud que no conoce de la ley, maldita es. 50 Nicodemo(BS), el que había venido a Jesús[m] antes, y que era uno de ellos, les dijo*: 51 ¿Acaso juzga nuestra ley a un hombre a menos que le oiga primero(BT) y sepa lo que hace? 52 Respondieron y le dijeron: ¿Es que tú también eres de Galilea(BU)? Investiga, y verás que ningún profeta surge de Galilea. 53 [n]Y cada uno se fue a su casa.

Amplified Bible
Jesus Teaches at the Feast
7 After this, Jesus walked [from place to place] in Galilee, for He would not walk in Judea because the Jews were seeking to kill Him. 2 Now the Jewish [a]Feast of Tabernacles (Booths) was approaching. 3 So His [b]brothers said to Him, “Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples [there] may also see the works that You do. 4 No one does anything in secret when he wants to be known publicly. If You [must] do these things, show Yourself openly to the world and make Yourself known!” 5 For not even His brothers believed in Him. 6 So Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come; but any time is right for you. 7 The world cannot hate you [since you are part of it], but it does hate Me because I denounce it and testify that its deeds are evil. 8 Go up to the feast yourselves. I am not going up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come.” 9 Having said these things to them, He stayed behind in Galilee.
10 But [afterward], when His brothers had gone up to the feast, He went up too, not publicly [with a caravan], but quietly [because He did not want to be noticed]. 11 So the Jews kept looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?” 12 There was a lot of whispered discussion and murmuring among the crowds about Him. Some were saying, “He is a good man”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He misleads the people [giving them false ideas].” 13 Yet no one was speaking out openly and freely about Him for fear of [the leaders of] the Jews.
14 When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple [court] and began to teach. 15 Then the Jews were perplexed. They said, “How [c]did this man become learned [so versed in the Scriptures and theology] [d]without formal training?” 16 Jesus answered them by saying, “My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. 17 If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know whether the teaching is of God or whether I speak on My own accord and by My own authority. 18 He who speaks on his own accord seeks glory and honor for himself. But He who seeks the glory and the honor of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness or deception in Him.
19 “Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law. Why do you want to kill Me [for not keeping it]?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon [You are out of Your mind]! Who wants to kill You?” 21 Jesus replied, “I did one [e]work, and you are all astounded.(A) 22 For this reason Moses has given you [God’s law regarding] circumcision (not that it originated with Moses, but with the patriarchs) and you circumcise a man [even] on the Sabbath. 23 If, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, a man undergoes [f]circumcision on the Sabbath, why are you angry with Me for making a man’s whole body well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge by appearance [superficially and arrogantly], but judge fairly and righteously.”
25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Is this not the Man they want to kill? 26 Look, He is speaking publicly, and they say nothing to Him! Is it possible that the rulers really know that this is the Christ? 27 But we know where this Man is from; whenever the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.” 28 Then Jesus called out as He taught in the temple, “You know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come on my own initiative [as self-appointed], but He who sent Me is true, and Him you do not know. 29 I know Him Myself because I am from Him [I came from His very presence] and it was He [personally] who sent Me.” 30 So they were eager to arrest Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His time had not yet come. 31 But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they kept saying, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs and exhibit more proofs than this Man?”
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things [under their breath] about Him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent [g]guards to arrest Him. 33 Therefore Jesus said, “For a little while longer I am [still] with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me. 34 You will look for Me, and will not [be able to] find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” 35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion [of Jews scattered and living] among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36 What does this statement of His mean, ‘You will look for Me, and will not [be able to] find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”
37 Now on the last and most important day of the feast, Jesus stood and called out [in a loud voice], “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink! 38 He who believes in Me [who adheres to, trusts in, and relies on Me], as the Scripture has said, ‘From his innermost being will flow continually rivers of living water.’”(B) 39 But He was speaking of the [Holy] Spirit, whom those who believed in Him [as Savior] were to receive afterward. The Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified (raised to honor).
Division of People over Jesus
40 Listening to these words, some of the people said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”(C) 41 Others said, “This is the Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed)!” But others said, “Surely the Christ is not going to come out of Galilee, is He? 42 Does the Scripture not say that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David lived?”(D) 43 So the crowd was divided because of Him. 44 Some of them wanted to arrest Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
45 Then the guards went [back] to the chief priests and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why did you not bring Him [here with you]?” 46 The guards replied, “Never [at any time] has a man talked the way this Man talks!” 47 Then the Pharisees said to them, “Have you also been deluded and swept off your feet? 48 Has any of the rulers or Pharisees believed in Him? 49 But this [ignorant, contemptible] crowd that does not know the Law is accursed and doomed!” 50 Nicodemus (the one who came to Jesus before and was one of them) asked, 51 “Does our Law convict someone without first giving him a hearing and finding out what he is [accused of] doing?” 52 They responded, “Are you also from Galilee? Search [and read the Scriptures], and see [for yourself] that no prophet comes from Galilee!” 53 [h][And everyone went to his own house.

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.
約翰福音 7
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Traditional)
耶穌的弟弟不信祂
7 之後，耶穌周遊加利利，不願去猶太地區，因為猶太人想要殺祂。 2 猶太人的住棚節快到了， 3 耶穌的弟弟們對祂說：「離開這裡，去猶太過節吧，好讓你的門徒在那裡也看見你所做的啊！ 4 因為人想出名，都不會暗地裡行事，你既然可以做這些事，就把自己顯給世人看吧！」 5 原來連祂的弟弟們也不信祂。
6 耶穌對他們說：「我的時候還沒有到，你們什麼時候都很方便。 7 世人不會恨你們，只會恨我，因為我指證他們行為邪惡。 8 你們先去過節吧，我現在還不上去，因為我的時候還沒有到。」 9 耶穌說完這些話，仍留在加利利。
耶穌過住棚節
10 他們走了以後，耶穌避開了人們的注意，暗地裡上去過節。 11 節期到了，猶太人到處查問：「耶穌在哪裡？」
12 眾人對祂議論紛紛，有些人說：「祂是好人，」有些說：「不，祂欺騙民眾。」 13 不過，沒有人敢公開議論祂的事，因為害怕猶太人。
14 節期約過了一半，耶穌來到聖殿教導人。 15 猶太人感到驚奇，說：「這個人沒有受過教育，怎麼懂得這麼多呢？」
16 耶穌說：「我的教導不是出於我自己，而是出於差我來的那位。 17 如果你們願意遵行上帝的旨意，就能分辨這些教導是出於上帝，還是出於我自己。 18 憑自己講論的人是要尋求自己的榮耀，但人子真實無偽，毫無不義，祂是為了使差祂來的那位得榮耀。 19 摩西不是把律法傳給了你們嗎？你們卻沒有一個人遵守。為什麼想要殺我呢？」
20 眾人回答說：「你一定是被鬼附身了！誰要殺你啊？」
21 耶穌說：「我行了一件神蹟，你們都感到驚奇。 22 摩西把割禮傳給你們，你們也在安息日行割禮。其實割禮不是摩西定的，而是從祖先們的時代就有了。 23 為了避免違背摩西的律法，行割禮的那一天就算是安息日，你們還是照行。那麼，我在安息日使一個病人完全康復，你們為什麼責怪我呢？ 24 不要根據外表來斷定是非，要按公義的原則判斷。」
耶穌是基督嗎
25 有些住在耶路撒冷的人說：「這不是他們要殺的那個人嗎？ 26 你看祂這樣公開講道，居然沒有人說什麼，難道官長也真的認為祂是基督嗎？ 27 可是基督來的時候，根本沒有人知道祂從哪裡來，我們卻知道這個人是從哪裡來的。」
28 於是，耶穌在聖殿裡高聲教導人說：「你們知道我是誰，也知道我是從哪裡來的。其實我來不是出於自己的意思，差我來的那位是真實的，你們不認識祂。 29 但我認識祂，因為我是從祂那裡來的，差我來的就是祂。」 30 他們聽了，想捉拿耶穌，只是沒有人下手，因為祂的時候還沒有到。
31 人群中有許多人信了耶穌，他們說：「基督來的時候所行的神蹟，難道會比這個人行得更多嗎？」
32 法利賽人聽見眾人這樣議論耶穌，就聯合祭司長派差役去抓祂。 33 耶穌對眾人說：「我暫時還會跟你們在一起，不久我要回到差我來的那位那裡。 34 那時你們要找我卻找不到，你們也不能去我所在的地方。」
35 猶太人彼此議論說：「祂要去哪裡使我們找不著呢？難道祂要到我們猶太人僑居的希臘各地去教導希臘人嗎？ 36 祂說我們找不到祂，又不能去祂所在的地方，是什麼意思？」
活水的江河
37 節期最後一天，也是整個節期的高潮，耶穌站起來高聲說：「人若渴了，可以到我這裡來喝。 38 正如聖經所言，信我的人，『從他裡面要流出活水的江河來』。」 39 耶穌這話是指信祂的人要得到聖靈，但當時聖靈還沒有降臨，因為耶穌還沒有得到榮耀。
40 聽見這些話後，有些人說：「祂真是那位先知。」 41 也有些人說：「祂是基督。」還有些人說：「不會吧，基督怎麼會出自加利利呢？ 42 聖經上不是說基督是大衛的後裔，要降生在大衛的故鄉伯利恆嗎？」 43 眾人因為對耶穌的看法不同，就起了紛爭。 44 有些人想抓祂，只是沒有人下手。
猶太官長不信耶穌
45 祭司長和法利賽人看見差役空手回來，就問：「你們為什麼不把祂帶來呢？」
46 差役答道：「從未有人像祂那樣說話！」
47 法利賽人說：「難道你們也被祂迷惑了嗎？ 48 哪有官長和法利賽人信祂呢？ 49 這群不明白律法的民眾該受咒詛！」
50 曾經夜訪耶穌、屬於他們當中一員的尼哥德慕說： 51 「難道不聽被告申辯，不查明事實真相，我們的律法就定祂的罪嗎？」
52 他們回答說：「難道你也是加利利人嗎？你去查查看，就會知道沒有先知是從加利利來的。」
