1 And Jesus was walking after these things in Galilee, for He did not wish to walk in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill Him,
1 Y PASADAS estas cosas andaba Jesús en Galilea: que no quería andar en Judea, porque los Judíos procuraban matarle.
2 and the celebration of the Jews was near—that of Shelters—
2 Y estaba cerca la fiesta de los Judíos, [la] de los tabernáculos.
3 His brothers, therefore, said to Him, “Depart from here, and go away to Judea, that Your disciples may also behold Your works that You do;
3 Y dijéronle sus hermanos: Pásate de aquí, y vete á Judea, para que también tus discípulos vean las obras que haces.
4 for no one does anything in secret, and himself seeks to be in public; if you do these things—reveal Yourself to the world”;
4 Que ninguno que procura ser claro, hace algo en oculto. Si estas cosas haces, manifiéstate al mundo.
5 for not even His brothers were believing in Him.
5 Porque ni aun sus hermanos creían en él.
6 Jesus, therefore, says to them, “My time is not yet present, but your time is always ready;
6 Díceles entonces Jesús: Mi tiempo aun no ha venido; mas vuestro tiempo siempre está presto.
7 the world is not able to hate you, but it hates Me, because I testify concerning it that its works 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 You—go up to this celebration; I do not yet go up to this celebration, because My time has not yet been fulfilled”;
8 Vosotros subid á esta fiesta; yo no subo aún á esta fiesta, porque mi tiempo aun no es cumplido.
9 and saying these things to them, He remained in Galilee.
9 Y habiéndoles dicho esto, quedóse en Galilea.
10 And when His brothers went up, then also He Himself went up to the celebration, not openly, but as in secret;
10 Mas como sus hermanos hubieron subido, entonces él también subió á la fiesta, no manifiestamente, sino como en secreto.
11 the Jews, therefore, were seeking Him in the celebration, and said, “Where is that One?”
11 Y buscábanle los Judíos en la fiesta, y decían: ¿Dónde está aquél?
12 And there was much murmuring about Him among the multitudes, some indeed said, “He is good”; and others said, “No, but He leads the multitude astray”;
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 no one, however, was speaking freely about Him, through fear of the Jews.
13 Mas ninguno hablaba abiertamente de él, por miedo de los Judíos.
14 And it being now the middle of the celebration, Jesus went up to the temple, and He was teaching,
14 Y al medio de la fiesta subió Jesús al templo, y enseñaba.
15 and the Jews were wondering, saying, “How has this One known letters—having not learned?”
15 Y maravillábanse los Judíos, diciendo: ¿Cómo sabe éste letras, no habiendo aprendido?
16 Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me;
16 Respondióles Jesús, y dijo: Mi doctrina no es mía, sino de aquél que me envió.
17 if anyone may will to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is of God, or—[if] I speak from 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 who is speaking from himself seeks his own glory, but he who is seeking the glory of him who sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not 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 has not Moses given you the Law? And none of you does the Law; why do you seek to kill Me?”
19 ¿No os dió Moisés la ley, y ninguno de vosotros hace la ley? ¿Por qué me procuráis matar?
20 The multitude answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”
20 Respondió la gente, y dijo: Demonio tienes: ¿quién te procura matar?
21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
21 Jesús respondió, y díjoles: Una obra hice, y todos os maravilláis.
22 because of this, Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on a Sabbath you 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 receives circumcision on a Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me that I made a man all whole on a Sabbath?
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 Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
24 No juzguéis según lo que parece, mas juzgad justo juicio.
25 Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
25 Decían entonces unos de los de Jerusalem: ¿No es éste al que buscan para matarlo?
26 And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
26 Y he aquí, habla públicamente, y no le dicen nada; ¿si habrán entendido verdaderamente los príncipes, que éste es el Cristo?
27 But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
27 Mas éste, sabemos de dónde es: y cuando viniere el Cristo, nadie sabrá de dónde sea.
28 Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, “You have both known Me, and you have known from where I am; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you have not known;
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 and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
29 Yo le conozco, porque de él soy, y él me envió.
30 They were seeking, therefore, to seize Him, and no one laid the hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come,
30 Entonces procuraban prenderle; mas ninguno puso en él mano, porque aun no había venido su hora.
31 and many out of the multitude believed in Him and said, “The Christ—when He may come—will He do more signs than these that this One did?”
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 the multitude murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers that they may 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 Jesus, therefore, said to them, “Yet a short time I am with you, and I go away to Him who sent Me;
33 Y Jesús dijo: Aun un poco de tiempo estaré con vosotros, é iré al que me envió.
34 you will seek Me, and you will not find; and where I am, you are not able to come.”
34 Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir.
35 The Jews, therefore, said among themselves, “To where is this One about to go that we will not find Him? Is He about to go to the dispersion of the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
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 is this word that He said, You will seek Me, and you will not find? And, Where I am, you are not able to come?”
36 ¿Qué dicho es éste que dijo: Me buscaréis, y no me hallaréis; y donde yo estaré, vosotros no podréis venir?
37 And in the last, the great day of the celebration, Jesus stood and cried, saying, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to 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 who is believing in Me, according as the Writing said, Rivers of living water will flow out of his belly”;
38 El que cree en mí, como dice la Escritura, ríos de agua viva correrán de su vientre.
39 and this He said of the Spirit, which those believing in Him were about to receive; for not yet was the Holy Spirit, because 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, therefore, out of the multitude, having heard the word, said, “This is truly the Prophet”;
40 Entonces algunos de la multitud, oyendo este dicho, decían: Verdaderamente éste es el profeta.
41 others said, “This is the Christ”; and others said, “Why, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41 Otros decían: Este es el Cristo. Algunos empero decían: ¿De Galilea ha de venir el Cristo?
42 Did the Writing not say that out of the seed of David, and from Beth-Lehem—the village where David was—the Christ comes?”
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 A division, therefore, arose among the multitude because of Him.
43 Así que había disensión entre la gente acerca de él.
44 And certain of them were willing to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him;
44 Y algunos de ellos querían prenderle; mas ninguno echó sobre él manos.
45 the officers came, therefore, to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, “Why did you not bring 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 so spoke man—as this Man.”
46 Los ministriles respondieron: Nunca ha hablado hombre así como este hombre.
47 The Pharisees, therefore, answered them, “Have you also been led astray?
47 Entonces los Fariseos les respondieron: ¿Estáis también vosotros engañados?
48 Did anyone out of the rulers believe in Him? Or out of the Pharisees?
48 ¿Ha creído en él alguno de los príncipes, ó de los Fariseos?
49 But this multitude, that is not knowing the Law, is accursed.”
49 Mas estos comunales que no saben la ley, malditos son.
50 Nicodemus says to them—he who came by night to Him—being one of them,
50 Díceles Nicodemo (el que vino á él de noche, el cual era uno de ellos):
51 “Does our law judge the Man, if it may not hear from Him first, and know what He does?”
51 ¿Juzga nuestra ley á hombre, si primero no oyere de él, y entendiere lo que ha hecho?
52 They answered and said to him, “Are you also out of Galilee? Search and see that a prophet has not risen out of Galilee”; [[
52 Respondieron y dijéronle: ¿Eres tú también Galileo? Escudriña y ve que de Galilea nunca se levantó profeta.

Why does my Bible say something different?
- John 7:53–8:11: the woman taken in adultery
The story of the woman brought to Jesus, “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone,” is missing from the earliest Greek manuscripts of John and wanders to other places in some later ones. Yet it was known in the early Church, is printed in the Patriarchal Text, and is read in Orthodox services. Most scholars think it is a genuine early tradition that was not originally part of John.
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).
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.

In this chapter of the Gospel, brethren, our Lord Jesus Christ has most especially commended Himself to our faith in respect of His humanity.

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.

This is also the reason why, when men were often desirous to take Him, it is said, "No man laid hands upon Him, for the hour of His being taken was not yet come;" nor the time of His passion, which had been foreknown by the Father; as also says the prophet Habakkuk, "By this Thou shalt be known when …
For till then "the Holy Ghost was not yet given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified." And the prophet cries out, How long will ye be slow of heart?
