John 7:18-37

18Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

19Hasn’t Moses given you the Torah? Yet none of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”

20The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who’s trying to kill you?”

21Yeshua answered, “I did one good work, and all of you are amazed.

22Because Moses has given you circumcision (though it is not from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a man on Shabbat.

23If a man receives circumcision on Shabbat so that the Torah of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry that I healed a man’s whole body on Shabbat?

24Do not judge by appearance, but judge righteously.”

25Then some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “Isn’t this the person they’re trying to kill?

26Look, He speaks openly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be that the leaders know He is the Messiah?

27But we know where this person is from. But the Messiah, whenever He may come, no one knows where He is from.”

28Then, while teaching in the Temple courts, Yeshua cried out, “You know both who I am and where I am from! I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

29but I know Him because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

30Then they were trying to seize Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

31Yet many from the crowd believed in Him and were saying, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this person has, will He?”

32The Pharisees heard people in the crowd murmuring these things about Him, and the ruling kohanim and Pharisees sent guards to arrest Him.

33Yeshua said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.

34You will look for Me but will not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come.”

35The Judean leaders then said among themselves, “Where is this person about to go that we shall not find Him? He’s not going to the Diaspora to teach the Greeks, is He?

36What did He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me but will not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come’?”

37On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Yeshua stood up and cried out loudly, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
