John 7:25-36
25ThenG3767 someG5100 ofG1537 theG3588 people of JerusalemG2415 began to sayG2036, “Isn’tG1510G3756 thisG3778 the man they are tryingG2212 to killG615? 26YetG2532 hereG2400 He is, speakingG2980 publiclyG3954, andG2532 they are not sayingG3004G3361 anything to HimG846. Have theG3588 rulersG758 trulyG230 recognizedG1097 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547? 27ButG235 we knowG1492 whereG4159 thisG3778 man is fromG1510. WhenG3752 theG3588 ChristG5547 comesG2064, no oneG3762 will knowG1097 whereG4159 He is fromG1510.”
28ThenG3767 JesusG2424, still teachingG1321 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, cried outG2896G2532G3004, “You knowG1492 MeG2504, andG2532 you knowG1492 whereG4159 I am fromG1510. I have not comeG3756G2064 ofG575 My own accordG1683, butG235 He whoG3588 sentG3992 MeG1473 isG1510 trueG228. YouG4771 do notG3756 knowG1492 HimG3739, 29but IG1473 knowG1492 HimG846, becauseG3754 I amG1510 fromG3844 HimG846 and HeG2548 sentG649 MeG1473.”
30SoG3767 they triedG2212 to seizeG4084 HimG846, butG2532 no oneG3762 laidG1911 a handG5495 onG1909 HimG846, becauseG3754 HisG846 hourG5610 had not yetG3768 comeG2064. 31ManyG4183 inG1537 theG3588 crowdG3793, howeverG1161, believedG4100 inG1519 HimG846 andG2532 saidG2036, “WhenG3752 theG3588 ChristG5547 comesG2064, will He performG3361G4160 moreG4119 signsG4592 thanG3739 thisG3778 man?”
32When theG3588 PhariseesG5330 heardG191 theG3588 crowdG3793 whisperingG1111 these thingsG3778 aboutG4012 Jesus, they andG2532 theG3588 chief priestsG749 sentG649 officersG5257 toG2443 arrestG4084 HimG846. 33SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG2036, “I amG1510 withG3326 youG4771 onlyG2089 a little whileG3398 longerG5550, and thenG2532 I am goingG5217 toG4314 theG3588 One who sentG3992 MeG1473. 34You will look forG2212 MeG1473, but you will not findG3756G2147 MeG1473; andG2532 whereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, youG4771 cannotG3756G1410 comeG2064.”
35At thisG3767, theG3588 JewsG2453 saidG2036 toG4314 one anotherG1438, “WhereG4226 does HeG3778 intendG3195 to goG4198 thatG3754 weG1473 will not findG3756G2147 HimG846? Will HeG3361G3195 goG4198 whereG1519 theG3588 Jews are dispersedG1290 among theG3588 GreeksG1672,1 andG2532 teachG1321 theG3588 GreeksG1672? 36WhatG5101 does He meanG1510G3778G3588G3056 byG3739 sayingG2036, ‘You will look forG2212 MeG1473, but you will not findG3756G2147 MeG1473,’ andG2532, ‘WhereG3699 IG1473 amG1510, youG4771 cannotG3756G1410 comeG2064’?”
