John 7:25-36 - Is Jesus The Christ?
25 Some in Jerusalem asked: Is this he whom they seek to kill? 26 He spoke openly and they said nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ? 27 How is it we know where this man is from but when the Christ comes no one will know where he is from?
28 Jesus shouted in the temple: You know me and from where I came. I did not come on my own. He who sent me is true and you do not know him. 29 I know him because I am from him and he sent me.
30 They looked for a way to capture him. But no man laid his hand on him. This is because his hour had not yet arrived. 31 Many in the crowd believed in him. They asked: When the Christ comes will he do more signs than those this man has done?
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things concerning him. The chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to capture him.
33 Jesus therefore said: I am with you a little while. Then I go to him who sent me. 34 You will seek me and will not find me. You cannot come where I am going.
35 The Jews said among themselves: Where will this man go that we shall not find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36 What is this word that he said: 'You will seek me, and will not find me; and you cannot come where I am going?'
