John 7:25-36
25SoG3767 someG5100 of the peopleG2415 of JerusalemG2415 were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 not the man whomG3739 they are seekingG2212 to killG615? 26LookG2396, He is speakingG2980 publiclyG3954, and they are sayingG3004 nothingG3762 to Him. 1The rulersG758 do not reallyG230 knowG1097 that thisG3778 is 2the ChristG5547, do they? 27HoweverG235, 3we knowG3609 whereG4159 thisG3778 manG3778 is from; but wheneverG3752 the ChristG5547 may comeG2064, noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 whereG4159 He is from.” 28ThenG3767 JesusG2424 criedG2896 out in the templeG2413, 4teachingG1321 and sayingG3004, “5You bothG2532 knowG3609 Me and knowG3609 whereG4159 I amG1510 from; and 6I have not comeG2064 of MyselfG1683, but He who sentG3992 Me is trueG228, whomG3739 you do not knowG3609. 297I knowG3609 Him, becauseG3754 8I amG1510 from Him, and 9He sentG649 Me.” 30SoG3767 they 10were seekingG2212 to seizeG4084 Him; and noG3762 manG3762 laidG1911 his handG5495 on Him, becauseG3754 His 11hourG5610 had not yetG3768 comeG2064. 31But 12manyG4183 of the crowdG3793 believedG4100 in Him; and they were sayingG3004, “13WhenG3752 14the ChristG5547 comesG2064, He will not performG2038 moreG4183 1516signsG4592 than those whichG3739 thisG3778 manG3778 has, will He?”
32The PhariseesG5330 heardG191 the crowdG3793 mutteringG1111 theseG3778 thingsG3778 aboutG4012 Him, and the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 sentG649 17officersG5257 to 18seizeG4084 Him. 33ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “19For a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 I amG1510 with you, thenG2532 20I goG5217 to Him who sentG3992 Me. 3421You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064.” 3522The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “23WhereG4226 does thisG3778 manG3778 intendG3195 to goG4198 that we will not findG2147 Him? He is not intendingG3195 to goG4198 to 24the DispersionG1290 among 25the GreeksG1672, and teachG1321 the GreeksG1672, is He? 36WhatG5101 is thisG3778 statementG3056 that He saidG3004, ‘26You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064’?”
