John 7:16-36

16SoG3767 JesusG2424 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “1My teachingG1322 is not My ownG1699, but His who sentG3992 Me. 172IfG1437 anyoneG5100 is willingG2309 to doG4160 His willG2307, he will knowG1097 aboutG4012 the teachingG1322, whetherG4220 it is of GodG2316, orG2228 I am speakingG2980 from MyselfG1683. 18The one who speaksG2980 from himselfG1438 3seeksG2212 his ownG2398 gloryG1391; but He who is seekingG2212 the gloryG1391 of the One who sentG3992 Him, He is trueG227, and there is noG3756 unrighteousnessG93 in Him.

19“4Did MosesG3475 not giveG1325 you the LawG3551, and yet noneG3762 of you carriesG4160 outG4160 the LawG3551? WhyG5101 are you 5seekingG2212 to killG615 Me?” 20The crowdG3793 answeredG611, “6You haveG2192 a demonG1140! WhoG5101 is seekingG2212 to killG615 You?” 21JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “I didG4160 7oneG1520 8deedG2041, and you allG3956 areG2296 astonishedG2296. 22For thisG3778 reasonG1223 9MosesG3475 has givenG1325 you circumcisionG4061 (not that it is from MosesG3475, but from 10the fathersG3962), and even on a SabbathG4521 you circumciseG4059 a manG444. 2311IfG1487 a manG444 receivesG2983 circumcisionG4061 on a SabbathG4521 soG2443 thatG2443 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475 will not be brokenG3089, are you angryG5520 at Me becauseG3754 I madeG4160 an entireG3650 manG444 wellG5199 on a SabbathG4521? 24Do not 12judgeG2919 by the outwardG3799 appearanceG3799, but judgeG2919 13with righteousG1342 judgmentG2920.”

25SoG3767 someG5100 of the peopleG2415 ofG2415 JerusalemG2415 were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 ManG3778 not the one whomG3739 they are seekingG2212 to killG615? 26And yet lookG2396, He is speakingG2980 publiclyG3954, and they are sayingG3004 nothingG3762 to Him. 14The rulersG758 do not reallyG230 knowG1097 that thisG3778 is the 15ChristG5547, do they? 27HoweverG235, 16we knowG3609 whereG4159 thisG3778 ManG3778 is from; but whenG3752 the ChristG5547 comesG2064, noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 whereG4159 He is from.” 28ThenG3767 JesusG2424 criedG2896 outG2896 in the templeG2413, 17teachingG1321 and sayingG3004, “18You bothG2532 knowG3609 Me and you knowG3609 whereG4159 I amG1510 from; and 19I have not comeG2064 of MyselfG1683, but He who sentG3992 Me is trueG228, whomG3739 you do not knowG3609. 2920I do knowG3609 Him, becauseG3754 21I amG1510 from Him, and 22He sentG649 Me.” 30SoG3767 they 23were seekingG2212 to arrestG4084 Him; and yet noG3762 oneG3762 laidG1911 a handG5495 on Him, becauseG3754 His 24hourG5610 had not yetG3768 comeG2064. 31But 25manyG4183 of the crowdG3793 believedG4100 in Him; and they were sayingG3004, “26WhenG3752 the 27ChristG5547 comesG2064, He will not performG2038 moreG4183 2829signsG4592 than those whichG3739 thisG3778 manG3778 has doneG2038, will He?”

32The PhariseesG5330 heardG191 the crowdG3793 whisperingG1111 theseG3778 thingsG3778 aboutG4012 Him, and the chiefG749 priestsG749 and the PhariseesG5330 sentG649 30officersG5257 to 31arrestG4084 Him. 33ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “32For a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 I amG1510 going to be with you, and then 33I am goingG5217 to Him who sentG3992 Me. 3434You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064.” 3535The JewsG2453 thenG3767 saidG3004 to oneG1438 anotherG1438, “36WhereG4226 does thisG3778 ManG3778 intendG3195 to goG4198 that we will not findG2147 Him? He does not intendG3195 to goG4198 to 37the DispersionG1290 among 38the GreeksG1672, and teachG1321 the GreeksG1672, does He? 36WhatG5101 is thisG3778 statementG3056 that He saidG3004, ‘39You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064’?”
