John 7:32-45

32The PhariseesG5330 heardG191 the crowdG3793 mutteringG1111 theseG3778 thingsG3778 aboutG4012 Him, and the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 sentG649 1officersG5257 to 2seizeG4084 Him. 33ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “3For a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 I amG1510 with you, thenG2532 4I goG5217 to Him who sentG3992 Me. 345You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064.” 356The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “7WhereG4226 does thisG3778 manG3778 intendG3195 to goG4198 that we will not findG2147 Him? He is not intendingG3195 to goG4198 to 8the DispersionG1290 among 9the GreeksG1672, and teachG1321 the GreeksG1672, is He? 36WhatG5101 is thisG3778 statementG3056 that He saidG3004, ‘10You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064’?”

37NowG1161 on 11the lastG2078 dayG2250, the greatG3173 day of the feastG1859, JesusG2424 stoodG2476 and criedG2896 out, sayingG3004, “1213IfG1437 anyoneG5100 is thirstyG1372, 14let him comeG2064 to Me and drinkG4095. 38He who believesG4100 in Me, 15as the ScriptureG1124 saidG3004, ‘From 16his innermostG2836 beingG2836 will flowG4482 riversG4215 of 17livingG2198 waterG5204.’” 39But thisG3778 He spokeG3004 18of the SpiritG4151, whomG3739 thoseG3588 who believedG4100 in Him were to receiveG2983; for 19the SpiritG4151 was not yetG3768 given, becauseG3754 JesusG2424 was not yetG3764 20glorifiedG1392.

40Some of the peopleG3793 thereforeG3767, when they heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 certainlyG230 is 21the ProphetG4396.” 41OthersG243 were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is 22the ChristG5547.” Still othersG3588 were sayingG3004, “23SurelyG3361 24the ChristG5547 is not going to comeG2064 from GalileeG1056, is He? 42Has not the ScriptureG1124 saidG3004 that the ChristG5547 comesG2064 from 25the descendantsG4690 of DavidG1160, and from BethlehemG965, the villageG2968 whereG3699 DavidG1160 was?” 43SoG3767 26a divisionG4978 occurredG1096 in the crowdG3793 becauseG1223 of Him. 4427SomeG5100 of them wantedG2309 to seizeG4084 Him, but noG3762 oneG3762 laidG1911 handsG5495 on Him.

45The 28officersG5257 thenG3767 cameG2064 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and PhariseesG5330, and they saidG3004 to them, “WhyG1223G5101 did you not bringG71 Him?”
