John 7:18-37

18He who speaks from himself 1seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

19“2Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you 3seek to kill Me?” 20The crowd answered, “4You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did 5one 6deed, and you all marvel. 22For this reason 7Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from 8the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 239If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? 24Do not 10judge according to appearance, but 11judge with righteous judgment.”

25So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill? 26Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. 12The rulers do not really know that this is 13the Christ, do they? 27However, 14we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from.” 28Then Jesus cried out in the temple, 15teaching and saying, “16You both know Me and know where I am from; and 17I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 2918I know Him, because 19I am from Him, and 20He sent Me.” 30So they 21were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His 22hour had not yet come. 31But 23many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “24When 25the Christ comes, He will not perform more 2627signs than those which this man has, will He?”

32The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent 28officers to 29seize Him. 33Therefore Jesus said, “30For a little while longer I am with you, then 31I go to Him who sent Me. 3432You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” 3533The Jews then said to one another, “34Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to 35the Dispersion among 36the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He? 36What is this statement that He said, ‘37You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

37Now on 38the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “3940If anyone is thirsty, 41let him come to Me and drink.
