John 7:25-36 - Is Jesus The Christ?
25 Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill? 26 And, lo! he speaketh openly, and they say not a word to him. Do the rulers certainly know that this man is really the Messiah? 27 But we know this man whence he is: but when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. 29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 Then they sought to apprehend him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 31 But many of the multitude believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater miracles than those which this man doth?
32 The Pharisees heard the people muttering these things respecting him; and the Pharisees and chief priests sent officers to apprehend him.
33 Then said Jesus unto them, A little while longer I am with you, and I am going to him that sent me. 34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Grecians, and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this saying which he hath spoken, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, ye cannot come?
