'Seek' in the Bible

And Jesus turned and saw them following, and *said to them, “What do you seek?” They said to Him, “Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?”

At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, “What do You seek?” or, “Why do You speak with her?”

“I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?

Jesus answered them and said, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

Then He said again to them, “I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come.”

I know that you are Abraham’s descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, ‘Where I am going, you cannot come.’

So Jesus, knowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “Whom do you seek?”

Therefore He again asked them, “Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.”

Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,”
