PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Después de esto, Jesús andaba en Galilea, porque no quería andar en Judea, pues los judíos lo buscaban para matar[lo].
1 After these things, Jesus was walking in Galilee, for he wouldn’t walk in Judea, because the Jews sought to kill him.
1 Καὶ περιεπάτει ὁ Ἰησοῦς μετὰ ταῦτα ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ· οὐ γὰρ ἤθελεν ἐν τῇ Ἰουδαίᾳ περιπατεῖν, ὅτι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι ἀποκτεῖναι.
2 Se acercaba El Tabernáculo, la fiesta de los judíos,
2 Now the feast of the Jews, the Feast of Booths, was at hand.
2 ἦν δὲ ἐγγὺς ἡ ἑορτὴ τῶν Ἰουδαίων ἡ σκηνοπηγία.
3 y sus hermanos le dijeron: Sal de aquí y vé a Judea para que también tus discípulos vean las obras que haces.
3 His brothers therefore said to him, “Depart from here and go into Judea, that your disciples also may see your works which you do.
3 εἶπον οὖν πρὸς αὐτὸν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ· μετάβηθι ἐντεῦθεν καὶ ὕπαγε εἰς τὴν Ἰουδαίαν, ἵνα καὶ οἱ μαθηταί σου θεωρήσωσι τὰ ἔργα σου ἃ ποιεῖς·
4 Porque el que quiere darse a [conocer] no actúa en secreto. Puesto que haces estas cosas, manifiéstate al mundo.
4 For no one does anything in secret while he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, reveal yourself to the world.”
4 οὐδεὶς γὰρ ἐν κρυπτῷ τι ποιεῖ καὶ ζητεῖ αὐτὸς ἐν παρρησίᾳ εἶναι. εἰ ταῦτα ποιεῖς, φανέρωσον σεαυτὸν τῷ κόσμῳ.
5 Porque ni aun sus hermanos creían en Él.
5 For even his brothers didn’t believe in him.
5 οὐδὲ γὰρ οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπίστευον εἰς αὐτόν.
6 Jesús les dijo: Mi tiempo aún no llegó, aunque para ustedes cualquier tiempo es oportuno.
6 Jesus therefore said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
6 λέγει οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμὸς οὔπω πάρεστιν, ὁ δὲ καιρὸς ὁ ὑμέτερος πάντοτέ ἐστιν ἕτοιμος.
7 El mundo no puede aborrecerlos, pero a Mí me aborrece porque Yo testifico que sus obras son malas.
7 The world can’t hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
7 οὐ δύναται ὁ κόσμος μισεῖν ὑμᾶς· ἐμὲ δὲ μισεῖ, ὅτι ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ αὐτοῦ ὅτι τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ πονηρά ἐστιν.
8 Suban ustedes a la fiesta. Yo no subo a esta fiesta, porque mi tiempo aún no se cumplió.
8 You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.”
8 ὑμεῖς ἀνάβητε εἰς τὴν ἑορτὴν ταύτην· ἐγὼ οὔπω ἀναβαίνω εἰς τὴν ἑορτὴν ταύτην, ὅτι ὁ καιρὸς ὁ ἐμὸς οὔπω πεπλήρωται.
9 Dijo esto y se quedó en Galilea.
9 Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
9 ταῦτα δὲ εἰπὼν αὐτοῖς ἔμεινεν ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ.
10 Sin embargo, cuando sus hermanos subieron a la fiesta, Él también subió, pero en secreto.
10 But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
10 Ὡς δὲ ἀνέβησαν οἱ ἀδελφοὶ αὐτοῦ, τότε καὶ αὐτὸς ἀνέβη εἰς τὴν ἑορτήν, οὐ φανερῶς, ἀλλ᾽ ὡς ἐν κρυπτῷ.
11 Los judíos lo buscaban en la fiesta y preguntaban: ¿Dónde está Aquél?
11 The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
11 οἱ οὖν Ἰουδαῖοι ἐζήτουν αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ ἑορτῇ καὶ ἔλεγον· ποῦ ἐστιν ἐκεῖνος;
12 Había mucha murmuración entre la gente con respecto a Él, pues unos decían: Es bueno. Otros decían: No, más bien engaña a la gente.
12 There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
12 καὶ γογγυσμὸς πολὺς περὶ αὐτοῦ ἦν ἐν τοῖς ὄχλοις. οἱ μὲν ἔλεγον ὅτι ἀγαθός ἐστιν· ἄλλοι ἔλεγον, οὔ, ἀλλὰ πλανᾷ τὸν ὄχλον.
13 Pero nadie hablaba francamente con respecto a Él por temor a los judíos.
13 Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
13 οὐδεὶς μέντοι παρρησίᾳ ἐλάλει περὶ αὐτοῦ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων.
14 En la mitad de la fiesta, Jesús subió al Templo y enseñaba.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.
14 Ἤδη δὲ τῆς ἑορτῆς μεσούσης ἀνέβη ὁ Ἰησοῦς εἰς τὸ ἱερὸν καὶ ἐδίδασκε.
15 Los judíos decían con asombro: ¿Éste cómo sabe tanto, si no ha estudiado?
15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
15 καὶ ἐθαύμαζον οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι λέγοντες· πῶς οὗτος γράμματα οἶδε μὴ μεμαθηκώς;
16 Entonces Jesús les respondió: Mi enseñanza no es mía, sino de Quien me envió.
16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
16 ἀπεκρίθη οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν· ἡ ἐμὴ διδαχὴ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐμή, ἀλλὰ τοῦ πέμψαντός με·
17 Si alguien quiere hacer la voluntad de Dios sabrá si la enseñanza es de Dios, o si Yo hablo de Mí mismo.
17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
17 ἐάν τις θέλῃ τὸ θέλημα αὐτοῦ ποιεῖν, γνώσεται περὶ τῆς διδαχῆς, πότερον ἐκ τοῦ Θεοῦ ἐστιν ἢ ἐγὼ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ λαλῶ.
18 El que habla de él mismo busca su propia fama. Pero el que busca la gloria del que lo envió es veraz y no hay perversidad en Él.
18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
18 ὁ ἀφ᾽ ἑαυτοῦ λαλῶν τὴν δόξαν τὴν ἰδίαν ζητεῖ, ὁ δὲ ζητῶν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτόν, οὗτος ἀληθής ἐστι, καὶ ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν.
19 ¿Moisés no les dio la Ley? Pero ninguno de ustedes la cumple. ¿Por qué quieren matarme?
19 Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
19 οὐ Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὸν νόμον; καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐξ ὑμῶν ποιεῖ τὸν νόμον. τί με ζητεῖτε ἀποκτεῖναι;
20 La gente respondió: ¡Tienes demonio! ¿Quién quiere matarte?
20 The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
20 ἀπεκρίθη ὁ ὄχλος καὶ εἶπε· δαιμόνιον ἔχεις· τίς σε ζητεῖ ἀποκτεῖναι;
21 Jesús respondió: Hice una obra, y todos ustedes están asombrados.
21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.
21 ἀπεκρίθη Ἰησοῦς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· ἓν ἔργον ἐποίησα, καὶ πάντες θαυμάζετε διὰ τοῦτο.
22 Moisés les dio la circuncisión, la cual no es de Moisés sino de los antepasados, y en sábado circuncidan al varón.
22 Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
22 Μωϋσῆς δέδωκεν ὑμῖν τὴν περιτομήν, οὐχ ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ Μωϋσέως ἐστίν, ἀλλ᾽ ἐκ τῶν πατέρων, καὶ ἐν σαββάτῳ περιτέμνετε ἄνθρωπον.
23 Si [el] varón es circuncidado en sábado para no quebrantar la Ley de Moisés, ¿se enojan conmigo porque en sábado sané a todo un hombre?
23 If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
23 εἰ περιτομὴν λαμβάνει ἄνθρωπος ἐν σαββάτῳ ἵνα μὴ λυθῇ ὁ νόμος Μωϋσέως, ἐμοὶ χολᾶτε ὅτι ὅλον ἄνθρωπον ὑγιῆ ἐποίησα ἐν σαββάτῳ!
24 No juzguen según [la] apariencia, sino juzguen según [la] justicia.
24 Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
24 μὴ κρίνετε κατ᾽ ὄψιν, ἀλλὰ τὴν δικαίαν κρίσιν κρίνατε.
25 Entonces algunos de Jerusalén decían: ¿No es Éste a Quien buscan para matarlo?
25 Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?
25 Ἔλεγον οὖν τινες ἐκ τῶν Ἱεροσολυμιτῶν· οὐχ οὗτός ἐστιν ὃν ζητοῦσιν ἀποκτεῖναι;
26 Miren, habla con libertad, y nada le dicen. ¿Tal vez los gobernantes reconocieron que Éste es verdaderamente el Cristo?
26 Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
26 καὶ ἴδε παρρησίᾳ λαλεῖ, καὶ οὐδὲν αὐτῷ λέγουσι. μήποτε ἀληθῶς ἔγνωσαν οἱ ἄρχοντες ὅτι οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ Χριστός;
27 Sabemos de dónde es Éste. Pero cuando venga el Cristo nadie sabrá de dónde es.
27 However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
27 ἀλλὰ τοῦτον οἴδαμεν πόθεν ἐστίν· ὁ δὲ Χριστὸς ὅταν ἔρχηται, οὐδεὶς γινώσκει πόθεν ἐστίν.
28 Entonces Jesús, al enseñar en el Templo, exclamó: ¡A Mí me conocen y saben de dónde soy! Pero Yo no vine por iniciativa propia, sino me envió el Verdadero, a Quien ustedes no conocen.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.
28 ἔκραξεν οὖν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ διδάσκων ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ λέγων· κἀμὲ οἴδατε, καὶ οἴδατε πόθεν εἰμί· καὶ ἀπ᾽ ἐμαυτοῦ οὐκ ἐλήλυθα, ἀλλ᾽ ἔστιν ἀληθινὸς ὁ πέμψας με, ὃν ὑμεῖς οὐκ οἴδατε·
29 Yo lo conozco, porque de Él vengo y Él me envió.
29 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
29 ἐγὼ οἶδα αὐτόν, ὅτι παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ εἰμι κἀκεῖνός με ἀπέστειλεν.
30 Entonces procuraban arrestarlo, pero nadie puso la mano sobre Él, porque aún no había llegado su hora.
30 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
30 Ἐζήτουν οὖν αὐτὸν πιάσαι, καὶ οὐδεὶς ἐπέβαλεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὴν χεῖρα, ὅτι οὔπω ἐληλύθει ἡ ὥρα αὐτοῦ.
31 Pero muchos de la multitud creyeron en Él y decían: Cuando venga el Cristo, ¿hará más señales que las que Éste ha hecho?
31 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
31 πολλοὶ δὲ ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου ἐπίστευσαν εἰς αὐτὸν καὶ ἔλεγον ὅτι ὁ Χριστὸς ὅταν ἔλθῃ, μήτι πλείονα σημεῖα τούτων ποιήσει ὧν οὗτος ἐποίησεν;
32 Cuando los fariseos y los principales sacerdotes oyeron los comentarios de la gente acerca de [Jesús] enviaron alguaciles para que lo arrestaran.
32 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
32 ἤκουσαν οἱ Φαρισαῖοι τοῦ ὄχλου γογγύζοντος περὶ αὐτοῦ ταῦτα, καὶ ἀπέστειλαν ὑπηρέτας οἱ Φαρισαῖοι καὶ οἱ ἀρχιερεῖς ἵνα πιάσωσιν αὐτόν.
33 Entonces Jesús [les] dijo: Aún estoy con ustedes poco tiempo, y regresaré al que me envió.
33 Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
33 εἶπεν οὖν ὁ Ἰησοῦς· ἔτι μικρὸν χρόνον μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν εἰμι καὶ ὑπάγω πρὸς τὸν πέμψαντά με.
34 Ustedes me buscarán y no [me] hallarán, y a donde Yo esté, ustedes no pueden ir.
34 You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”
34 ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετε· καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγώ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν.
35 Entonces los judíos se dijeron: ¿A dónde se irá Éste, que nosotros no lo hallemos? ¿Se irá a los judíos que están entre los griegos para enseñar a los griegos?
35 The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
35 εἶπον οὖν οἱ Ἰουδαῖοι πρὸς ἑαυτούς· ποῦ οὗτος μέλλει πορεύεσθαι, ὅτι ἡμεῖς οὐχ εὑρήσομεν αὐτόν; μὴ εἰς τὴν διασπορὰν τῶν Ἑλλήνων μέλλει πορεύεσθαι καὶ διδάσκειν τοὺς Ἕλληνας;
36 ¿Qué quiere decir esta Palabra: Me buscarán y no [me] hallarán, y a donde Yo esté ustedes no pueden ir?
36 What is this word that he said, ‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’ and ‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”
36 τίς ἐστιν οὗτος ὁ λόγος ὃν εἶπε, ζητήσετέ με καὶ οὐχ εὑρήσετε, καὶ ὅπου εἰμὶ ἐγώ, ὑμεῖς οὐ δύνασθε ἐλθεῖν;
37 El último día grande de la fiesta Jesús se puso en pie y exclamó: ¡Si alguno tiene sed, venga a Mí y beba!
37 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
37 Ἐν δὲ τῇ ἐσχάτῃ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ μεγάλῃ τῆς ἑορτῆς εἱστήκει ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἔκραξε λέγων· ἐάν τις διψᾷ, ἐρχέσθω πρός με καὶ πινέτω.
38 De lo más profundo del ser del que cree en Mí, como dice la Escritura, fluirán ríos de agua viva.
38 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within him will flow rivers of living water.”
38 ὁ πιστεύων εἰς ἐμέ, καθὼς εἶπεν ἡ γραφή, ποταμοὶ ἐκ τῆς κοιλίας αὐτοῦ ῥεύσουσιν ὕδατος ζῶντος.
39 Dijo esto con respecto al Espíritu que recibirían los que habían creído en Él, porque aun no se [había concedido] el Espíritu, pues Jesús aún no había sido glorificado.
39 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus wasn’t yet glorified.
39 τοῦτο δὲ εἶπε περὶ τοῦ Πνεύματος οὗ ἔμελλον λαμβάνειν οἱ πιστεύοντες εἰς αὐτόν· οὔπω γὰρ ἦν Πνεῦμα Ἅγιον, ὅτι Ἰησοῦς οὐδέπω ἐδοξάσθη.
40 Cuando oyeron estas Palabras, [algunos] entre la multitud decían: ¡Verdaderamente Éste es el Profeta!
40 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words, said, “This is truly the prophet.”
40 πολλοὶ οὖν ἐκ τοῦ ὄχλου ἀκούσαντες τὸν λόγον ἔλεγον· οὗτός ἐστιν ἀληθῶς ὁ προφήτης·
41 Otros decían: ¡Éste es el Cristo! Pero otros decían: ¿El Cristo viene de Galilea?
41 Others said, “This is the Christ.” But some said, “What, does the Christ come out of Galilee?
41 ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· οὗτός ἐστιν ὁ Χριστός· ἄλλοι ἔλεγον· μὴ γὰρ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας ὁ Χριστὸς ἔρχεται;
42 ¿No dice la Escritura que el Cristo viene de la descendencia de David y de Belén, la aldea de David?
42 Hasn’t the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the offspring of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?”
42 οὐχὶ ἡ γραφὴ εἶπεν ὅτι ἐκ τοῦ σπέρματος Δαυῒδ καὶ ἀπὸ Βηθλεὲμ τῆς κώμης, ὅπου ἦν Δαυΐδ, ὁ Χριστὸς ἔρχεται;
43 Entonces hubo una división entre la gente por causa de Él.
43 So a division arose in the multitude because of him.
43 σχίσμα οὖν ἐν τῷ ὄχλῳ ἐγένετο δι᾽ αὐτόν.
44 Algunos querían arrestarlo, pero nadie le puso las manos.
44 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid hands on him.
44 τινὲς δὲ ἤθελον ἐξ αὐτῶν πιάσαι αὐτόν, ἀλλ᾽ οὐδεὶς ἐπέβαλεν ἐπ᾽ αὐτὸν τὰς χεῖρας.
45 Así que los alguaciles fueron a los principales sacerdotes y fariseos, y éstos les preguntaron: ¿Por qué no lo trajeron?
45 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said to them, “Why didn’t you bring him?”
45 Ἦλθον οὖν οἱ ὑπηρέται πρὸς τοὺς ἀρχιερεῖς καὶ Φαρισαίους, καὶ εἶπον αὐτοῖς ἐκεῖνοι· διατί οὐκ ἠγάγετε αὐτόν;
46 Los alguaciles respondieron: ¡Nunca habló así un hombre!
46 The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”
46 ἀπεκρίθησαν οἱ ὑπηρέται· οὐδέποτε οὕτως ἐλάλησεν ἄνθρωπος, ὡς οὗτος ὁ ἄνθρωπος.
47 Entonces los fariseos les respondieron: ¿Entonces ustedes también fueron engañados?
47 The Pharisees therefore answered them, “You aren’t also led astray, are you?
47 ἀπεκρίθησαν οὖν αὐτοῖς οἱ Φαρισαῖοι· μὴ καὶ ὑμεῖς πεπλάνησθε;
48 ¿Alguno de los magistrados o de los fariseos creyó en Él?
48 Have any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed in him?
48 μή τις ἐκ τῶν ἀρχόντων ἐπίστευσεν εἰς αὐτὸν ἢ ἐκ τῶν Φαρισαίων;
49 Pero esta gente que no conoce la Ley es maldita.
49 But this multitude that doesn’t know the law is cursed.”
49 ἀλλ᾽ ὁ ὄχλος οὗτος ὁ μὴ γινώσκων τὸν νόμον ἐπικατάρατοί εἰσι!
50 Nicodemo, quien visitó a Jesús y era uno de ellos, les dijo:
50 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them) said to them,
50 λέγει Νικόδημος πρὸς αὐτούς, ὁ ἐλθὼν νυκτὸς πρὸς αὐτόν, εἷς ὢν ἐξ αὐτῶν·
51 ¿Nuestra Ley juzga al hombre si no lo oye primero y sabe qué hizo?
51 “Does our law judge a man unless it first hears from him personally and knows what he does?”
51 μὴ ὁ νόμος ἡμῶν κρίνει τὸν ἄνθρωπον, ἐὰν μὴ ἀκούσῃ παρ᾽ αὐτοῦ πρότερον καὶ γνῷ τί ποιεῖ;
52 [Ellos le] respondieron: ¿Tú también eres de Galilea? Investiga y ve que de Galilea no se levanta profeta. [[
52 They answered him, “Are you also from Galilee? Search and see that no prophet has arisen out of Galilee.”
52 ἀπεκρίθησαν καὶ εἶπον αὐτῷ· μὴ καὶ σὺ ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας εἶ; ἐρεύνησον καὶ ἴδε ὅτι προφήτης ἐκ τῆς Γαλιλαίας οὐκ ἐγήγερται.

- 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.

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.

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?
