John 7:25-36

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. 1The rulers do not really know that this is 2the Christ, do they? 27However, 3we 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, 4teaching and saying, “5You both know Me and know where I am from; and 6I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 297I know Him, because 8I am from Him, and 9He sent Me.” 30So they 10were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His 11hour had not yet come. 31But 12many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “13When 14the Christ comes, He will not perform more 1516signs 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 17officers to 18seize Him. 33Therefore Jesus said, “19For a little while longer I am with you, then 20I go to Him who sent Me. 3421You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” 3522The Jews then said to one another, “23Where does this man intend to go that we will not find Him? He is not intending to go to 24the Dispersion among 25the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, is He? 36What is this statement that He said, ‘26You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”
