Bible. John
7:21. Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all
wonder.
7:22. Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of
Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.
7:23. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of
Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the
whole man on the sabbath day?
7:24. Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment.
7:25. Some therefore of Jerusalem said: Is not this he whom they seek to
kill?
7:26. And behold, he speaketh openly: and they say nothing to him. Have
the rulers known for a truth that this is the Christ?
7:27. But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no
man knoweth, whence he is.
7:28. Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You
both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but
he that sent me is true, whom you know not.
7:29. I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me.
7:30. They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on
him, because his hour was not yet come.
7:31. But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ
cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth?
7:32. The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning
him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.
7:33. Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you:
and then I go to him that sent me.
7:34. You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither
you cannot come.
7:35. The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that
we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles
and teach the Gentiles?
7:36. What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall
not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?
7:37. And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and
cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.
7:38. He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39. Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who
believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was
not yet glorified.
7:40. Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of
his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.
7:41. Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ
come out of Galilee?
7:42. Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of
David and from Bethlehem the town where David was?
7:43. So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.
7:44. And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands
upon him.
7:45. The ministers therefore came to the chief priests and the
Pharisees. And they said to them: Why have you not brought him?
7:46. The ministers answered: Never did man speak like this man.
