John 7:25-36 - Is Jesus The Christ?
25 Then some that belong'd to Jerusalem, said, is not this he whom they seek to kill? 26 yet there he is talking publickly without any opposition: are not the rulers convinc'd that he is the Messiah? 27 however, we know from what quarter this man comes: but when Christ comes it will be unknown whence he came.
28 Jesus then pursuing his discourse in the temple, rais'd his voice, and said, you know both who I am, and whence I am: however, I am not come of my self, but he that sent me is worthy of belief, him you are unacquainted with. 29 but I know him, for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
30 then they design'd to seize him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come. 31 besides many of the people believed on him, and said, when Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man hath done?
32 (the Pharisees being inform'd what the people rumour'd concerning him, they and the chief priests sent their officers to seize him.)
33 then said Jesus, I shall be with you but for a little time, and then I shall go to him that sent me. 34 ye shall seek me, but shall not find me: and where I shall go, thither ye cannot come.
35 upon which the Jews said among themselves, whither will he go, that we cannot find him? will he go to the dispersed Jews among the Greeks, and instruct the Greeks? 36 what does he mean by saying, "ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I go, thither ye cannot come?"
