truly the Christ?
007:027 However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes,
no one will know where he comes from."
007:028 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying,
"You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come
of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don't know.
007:029 I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me."
007:030 They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him,
because his hour had not yet come.
007:031 But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said,
"When the Christ comes, he won't do more signs than those
which this man has done, will he?"
007:032 The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things
concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent
officers to arrest him.
007:033 Then Jesus said, "I will be with you a little while longer,
then I go to him who sent me.
007:034 You will seek me, and won't find me; and where I am,
you can't come."
007:035 The Jews therefore said among themselves, "Where will this
man go that we won't find him? Will he go to the Dispersion
among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
007:036 What is this word that he said, 'You will seek me, and won't
find me; and where I am, you can't come'?"
007:037 Now on the last and greatest day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink!
007:038 He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, from within
him will flow rivers of living water."
007:039 But he said this about the Spirit, which those believing in him
were to receive. For the Holy Spirit was not yet given,
because Jesus wasn't yet glorified.
007:040 Many of the multitude therefore, when they heard these words,
said, "This is truly the prophet."
007:041 Others said, "This is the Christ." But some said, "What,
does the Christ come out of Galilee?
007:042 Hasn't the Scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed
of David,{2 Samuel 7:12} and from Bethlehem,{Micah 5:2}
the village where David was?"
007:043 So there arose a division in the multitude because of him.
007:044 Some of them would have arrested him, but no one laid
hands on him.
007:045 The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees,
and they said to them, "Why didn't you bring him?"
007:046 The officers answered, "No man ever spoke like this man!"
007:047 The Pharisees therefore answered them, "You aren't also
led astray, are you?
007:048 Have any of the rulers believed in him, or of the Pharisees?
007:049 But this multitude that doesn't know the law is accursed."
007:050 Nicodemus (he who came to him by night, being one of them)
said to them,
007:051 "Does our law judge a man, unless it first hears from him
personally and knows what he does?"
