KJV King James Version (with Apocrypha)
RV1909 Reina-Valera 1909
1 After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for he would not walk in Jewry, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1 Y PASADAS estas cosas andaba Jesús en Galilea: que no quería andar en Judea, porque los Judíos procuraban matarle.
2 Now the Jews’ feast of tabernacles was at hand.
2 Y estaba cerca la fiesta de los Judíos, [la] de los tabernáculos.
3 His brethren therefore said unto him, Depart hence, and go into Judæa, that thy disciples also may see the works that thou doest.
3 Y dijéronle sus hermanos: Pásate de aquí, y vete á Judea, para que también tus discípulos vean las obras que haces.
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.
4 Que ninguno que procura ser claro, hace algo en oculto. Si estas cosas haces, manifiéstate al mundo.
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
5 Porque ni aun sus hermanos creían en él.
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
6 Díceles entonces Jesús: Mi tiempo aun no ha venido; mas vuestro tiempo siempre está presto.
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
7 No puede el mundo aborreceros á vosotros; mas á mí me aborrece, porque yo doy testimonio de él, que sus obras son malas.
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.
8 Vosotros subid á esta fiesta; yo no subo aún á esta fiesta, porque mi tiempo aun no es cumplido.
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.
9 Y habiéndoles dicho esto, quedóse en Galilea.
10 ¶ But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
10 Mas como sus hermanos hubieron subido, entonces él también subió á la fiesta, no manifiestamente, sino como en secreto.
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
11 Y buscábanle los Judíos en la fiesta, y decían: ¿Dónde está aquél?
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.
12 Y había grande murmullo de él entre la gente: porque unos decían: Bueno es; y otros decían: No, antes engaña á las gentes.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13 Mas ninguno hablaba abiertamente de él, por miedo de los Judíos.
14 ¶ Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
14 Y al medio de la fiesta subió Jesús al templo, y enseñaba.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
15 Y maravillábanse los Judíos, diciendo: ¿Cómo sabe éste letras, no habiendo aprendido?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
16 Respondióles Jesús, y dijo: Mi doctrina no es mía, sino de aquél que me envió.
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.
17 El que quisiere hacer su voluntad, conocerá de la doctrina si viene de Dios, ó si yo hablo de mí mismo.
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.
18 El que habla de sí mismo, su propia gloria busca; mas el que busca la gloria del que le envió, éste es verdadero, y no hay en él injusticia.
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and [yet] none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
19 ¿No os dió Moisés la ley, y ninguno de vosotros hace la ley? ¿Por qué me procuráis matar?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
20 Respondió la gente, y dijo: Demonio tienes: ¿quién te procura matar?
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
21 Jesús respondió, y díjoles: Una obra hice, y todos os maravilláis.
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.
22 Cierto, Moisés os dió la circuncisión (no porque sea de Moisés, mas de los padres); y en sábado circuncidáis al hombre.
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?
23 Si recibe el hombre la circuncisión en sábado, para que la ley de Moisés no sea quebrantada, ¿os enojáis conmigo porque en sábado hice sano todo un hombre?
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
24 No juzguéis según lo que parece, mas juzgad justo juicio.
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
25 Decían entonces unos de los de Jerusalem: ¿No es éste al que buscan para matarlo?
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
26 Y he aquí, habla públicamente, y no le dicen nada; ¿si habrán entendido verdaderamente los príncipes, que éste es el Cristo?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
27 Mas éste, sabemos de dónde es: y cuando viniere el Cristo, nadie sabrá de dónde sea.
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.
28 Entonces clamaba Jesús en el templo, enseñando y diciendo: Y á mí me conocéis, y sabéis de dónde soy; y no he venido de mí mismo; mas el que me envió es verdadero, al cual vosotros no conocéis.
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
29 Yo le conozco, porque de él soy, y él me envió.
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
30 Entonces procuraban prenderle; mas ninguno puso en él mano, porque aun no había venido su hora.
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?
31 Y muchos del pueblo creyeron en él, y decían: El Cristo, cuando viniere, ¿hará más señales que las que éste hace?
32 ¶ The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
32 Los Fariseos oyeron á la gente que murmuraba de él estas cosas; y los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los Fariseos enviaron servidores que le prendiesen.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and [then] I go unto him that sent me.
33 Y Jesús dijo: Aun un poco de tiempo estaré con vosotros, é iré al que me envió.
34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find [me]: and where I am, [thither] ye cannot come.
34 Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir.
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?
35 Entonces los Judíos dijeron entre sí: ¿A dónde se ha de ir éste que no le hallemos? ¿Se ha de ir á los esparcidos entre los Griegos, y á enseñar á los Griegos?
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?
36 ¿Qué dicho es éste que dijo: Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir?
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.
37 Mas en el postrer día grande de la fiesta, Jesús se ponía en pie y clamaba, diciendo: Si alguno tiene sed, venga á mí y beba.
38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
38 El que cree en mí, como dice la Escritura, ríos de agua viva correrán de su vientre.
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.)
39 (Y esto dijo del Espíritu que habían de recibir los que creyesen en él: pues aun no había [venido] el Espíritu Santo; porque Jesús no estaba aún glorificado.)
40 ¶ Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet.
40 Entonces algunos de la multitud, oyendo este dicho, decían: Verdaderamente éste es el profeta.
41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee?
41 Otros decían: Este es el Cristo. Algunos empero decían: ¿De Galilea ha de venir el Cristo?
42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
42 ¿No dice la Escritura, que de la simiente de David, y de la aldea de Bethlehem, de donde era David, vendrá el Cristo?
43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
43 Así que había disensión entre la gente acerca de él.
44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
44 Y algunos de ellos querían prenderle; mas ninguno echó sobre él manos.
45 ¶ Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
45 Y los ministriles vinieron á los principales sacerdotes y á los Fariseos; y ellos les dijeron: ¿Por qué no le trajisteis?
46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
46 Los ministriles respondieron: Nunca ha hablado hombre así como este hombre.
47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
47 Entonces los Fariseos les respondieron: ¿Estáis también vosotros engañados?
48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
48 ¿Ha creído en él alguno de los príncipes, ó de los Fariseos?
49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
49 Mas estos comunales que no saben la ley, malditos son.
50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of them,)
50 Díceles Nicodemo (el que vino á él de noche, el cual era uno de ellos):
51 Doth our law judge [any] man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
51 ¿Juzga nuestra ley á hombre, si primero no oyere de él, y entendiere lo que ha hecho?
52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
52 Respondieron y dijéronle: ¿Eres tú también Galileo? Escudriña y ve que de Galilea nunca se levantó profeta.
53◆ And every man went unto his own house.
53 Y fuése cada uno á su casa.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 7:6 Augustine of Hippo, Sermons on Selected Lessons of the New Testament (Sermon LXXXIII)

    I Purpose by the Lord's assistance to treat of this section of the Gospel which has just been read; nor is there a little difficulty here, lest the truth be endangered, and falsehood glory. Not that either the truth can perish, nor falsehood triumph.

    Nothing is worse than envy and malice; through these death entered into the world. For when the devil saw man honored, he endured not his prosperity, but used every means to destroy him. ( Wisd. ii. 24.) And from the same root one may everywhere see this same fruit produced.
