Reaction to Jesus' words

John 7:40-53

When they heard these words, some of the people said, "This is really the prophet." Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "Is the Christ to come from Galilee? Has not the scripture said that the Christ is descended from David, and comes from Bethlehem, the village where David was?" So there was a division among the people over him. Some of them wanted to arrest him, but no one laid hands on him. The officers then went back to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, "Why did you not bring him?" The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!" The Pharisees answered them, "Are you led astray, you also? Have any of the authorities or of the Pharisees believed in him? But this crowd, who do not know the law, are accursed." Nicodemus, who had gone to him before, and who was one of them, said to them, "Does our law judge a man without first giving him a hearing and learning what he does?" They replied, "Are you from Galilee too? Search and you will see that no prophet is to rise from Galilee." They went each to his own house.

Sin’o man gajud si Jesus para dimo? Andam ba ‘kaw na mohatag nan suporta pinaagi nan imo gugma Dija?

May oras ra na ipakita gajud nato an ato pagdapig kan Christ sanan pagtoo sa Ija ebanghelyo.

Pero kinahanglan andam ‘sab kita na mosagubang nan kalis’danan, sakripisyo sanan pag-antos kay amo ma’y ini mga sukli sa ato pagtoo sanan gugma kan Christ.

Sa labing-tinood, duha ra ma’y kapilian gajud nato sa ato mga kinabuhi: na kon gusto nato na masun’danon kita sa mga balaod ni God para kita maka-ambit nan Ija kahimayaan sa himayang dayon, sanan; kon gusto nato na mahimo kita na suluguon ni Satan kay nagpaulipon man kita sa mga kasay’anan na magresulta nan ato pagka-bal’hog sa impiyerno, an waya’y katapusan na alantusanan.

Hain ma’y imo pilion sa duha?
