Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while am I with you and then I go unto
Him that sent me. Ye shall seek me and shall not find me. And where I
go ye cannot come. Then said the Jews 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? What manner of saying is this that He
said, Ye shall seek me and shall not find me? And, where I am, thither
ye cannot come?
In the last day, that 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 spoke He of the Spirit which they that
believe on Him would receive. The Holy Ghost was not yet given because
Jesus was not yet glorified.) Many of the people therefore, when they
heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is the Prophet. Others said,
This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of Galilee? Hath
not the scripture said that Christ cometh of the seed of David and out
of the town of Bethlehem, where David was? So there was a division
among the people because of Him. Some of them would have taken Him,
but no man laid hands on Him.
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees. They said unto
them, Why have ye not brought Him? The officers answered, Never man spoke
like this man. Then answered the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived? Have
any of the rulers or any of the Pharisees believed on Him? These people
who knoweth not the law are cursed. Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that
came to Jesus by night, being one of them,) Doth our law judge any man
before it hear him and know what he doeth? They answered and said to
him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search and look, for, out of Galilee,
ariseth no prophet. And every man went unto his own house.
8. Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives. Early in the morning He
came again into the temple and all the people came unto Him. He sat down
and taught them. Now the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman
taken in adultery. When they sat her in the midst, they say unto Him,
Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. Moses, in
the law, commanded us that such should be stoned. What sayest Thou? This
they said, tempting Him, that they might have reason to accuse Him. But
Jesus stooped down and, with His finger, wrote on the ground as if He
heard them not. So when they continued asking Him, He lifted Himself up
and said to them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast
a stone at her. Then He stooped down again and wrote on the ground.
