John 7:25–44

²⁵Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, ^awhom they seek to kill? ²⁶But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do ^kthe rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? ^27lHowbeit ^mwe know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth ⁿwhence he is. ²⁸Then ^ocried Jesus ^pin the temple as he taught, saying, ^qYe both know me, and ye know whence I am: and ^rI am not come of myself, but he that sent me is ^strue, ^twhom ye know not. ²⁹But ^uI know him: for I am ^wfrom him, and ^xhe hath sent me. ³⁰Then ^ythey sought to take him: but ^zno man laid hands on him, because ^zahis hour was not yet come. ³¹And ^bmany of the people believed on him, and said, ^cWhen Christ cometh, will he do moe ^dmiracles than these which this man hath done? ³²The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent ^eofficers to take him. ³³Then said Jesus unto them, ^fYet a little while am I with you, and then ^gI go unto him that sent me. ^34fhYe shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where ⁱI am, thither ^jye cannot come. ³⁵Then said ^kthe Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto ^lthe dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? ³⁶What manner of saying is this that he said, ^mYe shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?

³⁷In the last day, ⁿthat great day of the feast, Jesus stood and ^ocried, saying, ^pIf any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. ^38qHe that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, ^rout of his belly shall flow rivers of ^sliving water. ³⁹(But ^tthis spake he of ^uthe Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: ^xfor the Holy Ghost was not yet ^ygiven; ^zbecause that Jesus was not yet ^aglorified.) ⁴⁰Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a truth this is ^bthe Prophet. ⁴¹Others said, ^cThis is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come ^dout of Galilee? ⁴²Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh ^eof the seed of David, and out of the town of ^fBethlehem, ^gwhere David was? ⁴³So there was ^ha division among the people because of him. ⁴⁴And ⁱsome of them would have taken him; ⁱbut no man laid hands on him.
