John 7:25-36 - Is Jesus The Christ?
25 Therefore some of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this He whom they seek to put to death? 26 and here He talketh openly, and they say nothing to Him: Do the rulers indeed know, that this is in truth the Messiah? 27 But we know whence this man is; whereas when Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence He is.
28 Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me, ye say, and ye know whence I am: now I am not come 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 They sought therefore to seize Him, but no one laid hand on Him, because his hour was not yet come. 31 And many of the people believed on Him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will He do more miracles than this man hath done?
32 Now the pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning Him: and they, with the chief priests, sent officers to seize Him.
33 Therefore Jesus said unto them, Yet a little while I am to be among you, and then I shall go to Him that sent me. 34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come.
35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will He go, that we shall not find Him? will He go to them that are dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? 36 What is the meaning of this speech, that He said, "Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am to be, ye cannot come?"
