John 7:25-36 - Is Jesus The Christ?
25 Some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man they want to kill? 26 And here he is speaking publicly, and they say nothing to him! Can the authorities really have found that he is the Christ? 27 But then, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
28 So Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple, cried out, "You do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come of my own accord but someone who is very real, whom you do not know, has sent me. 29 I do know him, because I come from him, and he has sent me here."
30 Then they tried to arrest him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because he was not yet ready. 31 But many of the people believed in him, and said, "Will the Christ show more signs when he comes than this man has shown?"
32 The Pharisees heard the people saying these things about him in whispers, and the high priests and the Pharisees sent attendants to arrest him.
33 Jesus said, "I am to be with you a little while longer, and then I am going to him who has sent me. 34 You will look for me and you will not find me, and you will not be able to go where I shall be."
35 Then the Jews said to one another, "Where is he going, that we shall not find him? Is he going to our people scattered among the Greeks, and will he teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean by saying 'You will look for me and you will not find me, and you will not be able to go where I shall be'?"
