not come of Myself, but He that sent Me is true, whom ye know not. I
know Him; because I am from Him, and He sent Me. They sought
therefore to take Him: and no man laid his hand on Him, because His
hour was not yet come. But of the multitude many believed on Him;
and they said, When the Christ shall come, will He do more signs
than those which this man hath done? The Pharisees heard the
multitude murmuring these things concerning Him; and the chief
priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take Him. Jesus therefore
said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto Him that sent
Me. Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I am, ye
cannot come. The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will
this man go that we shall not find Him? will He go unto the
Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? What is this word
that He said, Ye shall seek Me, and shall not find Me: and where I
am, ye cannot come? Now on the last day, the great day of the feast,
Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto
Me and drink. He that believeth on Me, as the Scripture hath said,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. But this spake
He of the Spirit, which they that believed on Him were to receive:
for the Spirit was not yet given: because Jesus was not yet
glorified. Some of the multitude therefore, when they heard these
words, said, This is of a truth the prophet. Others said, This is
the Christ. But some said, What, doth the Christ come out of
Galilee? Hath not the Scripture said that the Christ cometh of the
seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was? So
there arose a division in the multitude because of Him. And some of
them would have taken Him; but no man laid hands on Him. The
officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they
said unto them, Why did ye not bring Him? The officers answered,
Never man so spake. The Pharisees therefore answered them, Are ye
also led astray? Hath any of the rulers believed on Him, or of the
Pharisees? But this multitude which knoweth not the law are
accursed. Nicodemus saith unto them (he that came to Him before,
being one of them), Doth our law judge a man, except it first hear
from himself and know what he doeth? They answered and said unto
him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see that out of Galilee
ariseth no prophet.”—JOHN vii.
