John 7:25-36

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’?”
