John 7:25-53

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. 1The rulersG758 do not reallyG230 knowG1097 that thisG3778 is the 2ChristG5547, do they? 27HoweverG235, 3we 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, 4teachingG1321 and sayingG3004, “5You bothG2532 knowG3609 Me and you 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 do knowG3609 Him, becauseG3754 8I amG1510 from Him, and 9He sentG649 Me.” 30SoG3767 they 10were seekingG2212 to arrestG4084 Him; and yet noG3762 oneG3762 laidG1911 a handG5495 on Him, becauseG3754 His 11hourG5610 had not yetG3768 comeG2064. 31But 12manyG4183 of the crowdG3793 believedG4100 in Him; and they were sayingG3004, “13WhenG3752 the 14ChristG5547 comesG2064, He will not performG2038 moreG4183 1516signsG4592 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 17officersG5257 to 18arrestG4084 Him. 33ThereforeG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004, “19For a littleG3398 whileG5550 longerG2089 I amG1510 going to be with you, and then 20I am goingG5217 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 does not intendG3195 to goG4198 to 24the DispersionG1290 among 25the GreeksG1672, and teachG1321 the GreeksG1672, does He? 36WhatG5101 is thisG3778 statementG3056 that He saidG3004, ‘26You will seekG2212 Me, and will not findG2147 Me; and whereG3699 I amG1510, you cannotG1410G3756 comeG2064’?”

37NowG1161 on 27the lastG2078 dayG2250, the greatG3173 day of the feastG1859, JesusG2424 stoodG2476 and criedG2896 outG2896, sayingG3004, “28IfG1437 anyoneG5100 isG1372 thirstyG1372, 29let him comeG2064 to Me and drinkG4095. 38The one who believesG4100 in Me, 30as the ScriptureG1124 saidG3004, ‘31From his innermostG2836 beingG2836 will flowG4482 riversG4215 of 32livingG2198 waterG5204.’” 39But thisG3778 He saidG3004 33inG4012 referenceG4012 toG4012 the SpiritG4151, whomG3739 thoseG3588 who believedG4100 in Him were to receiveG2983; for 34the SpiritG4151 was not yetG3768 given, becauseG3754 JesusG2424 was not yetG3764 35glorifiedG1392.

40Some of the peopleG3793 thereforeG3767, after they heardG191 theseG3778 wordsG3056, were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 trulyG230 is 36the ProphetG4396.” 41OthersG243 were sayingG3004, “ThisG3778 is the 37ChristG5547.” But othersG3588 were sayingG3004, “38SurelyG1063G3361 the 39ChristG5547 is not comingG2064 from GalileeG1056, is He? 42Has the ScriptureG1124 not saidG3004 that the ChristG5547 comesG2064 from 40the descendantsG4690 of DavidG1160, and from BethlehemG965, the villageG2968 whereG3699 DavidG1160 was?” 43SoG3767 41a dissensionG4978 occurredG1096 in the crowdG3793 becauseG1223 of Him. 44And 42someG5100 of them wantedG2309 to arrestG4084 Him, but noG3762 oneG3762 laidG1911 handsG5495 on Him.

45The 43officersG5257 thenG3767 cameG2064 to the chiefG749 priestsG749 and PhariseesG5330, and they saidG3004 to them, “WhyG1223G5101 did you not bringG71 Him?” 46The 44officersG5257 answeredG611, “45NeverG3763 has a manG444 spokenG2980 inG3779 thisG3779 wayG3779!” 47The PhariseesG5330 thenG3767 repliedG611 to them, “46You have not been ledG4105 astrayG4105 tooG2532, have you? 4847Not oneG5100 of 48the rulersG758 orG2228 PhariseesG5330 has believedG4100 in Him, has he? 49But thisG3778 crowdG3793 that does not knowG1097 the LawG3551 is accursedG1884!” 5049NicodemusG3530 (the one who cameG2064 to Him beforeG4387, beingG1510 oneG1520 of them) saidG3004 to them, 51“50Our LawG3551 does not judgeG2919 the personG444 unlessG1437G3361 it firstG4413 hearsG191 from him and knowsG1097 whatG5101 he is doingG4160, does it?” 52They answeredG611 and saidG3004 to him, “51You are not from GalileeG1056 asG2532 wellG2532, are you? ExamineG2038 the Scriptures, and seeG3708 that noG3756 prophetG4396 arisesG1453 out of GalileeG1056.” 53[[52And everyoneG1538 wentG4198 to his homeG3624.
