²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: You both know me, and you know whence I am. And I am not come of myself: but he that sent me is true, whom you know not.

²⁹I know him, because I am from him: and he hath sent me.

³⁰They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³¹But of the people many believed in him and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles than this man doth?

³²The Pharisees heard the people murmuring these things concerning him: and the rulers and Pharisees sent ministers to apprehend him.

³³Jesus therefore said to them: Yet a little while I am with you: and then I go to him that sent me.

³⁴You shall seek me and shall not find me: and where I am, thither you cannot come.

³⁵The Jews therefore said among themselves: Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?

³⁶What is this saying that he hath said: You shall seek me and shall not find me? And: Where I am, you cannot come?

³⁷And on the last, and great day of the festivity, Jesus stood and cried, saying: If any man thirst, let him come to me and drink.

³⁸He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith: Out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

³⁹Now this he said of the Spirit which they should receive who believed in him: for as yet the Spirit was not given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

⁴⁰Of that multitude therefore, when they had heard these words of his, some said: This is the prophet indeed.

⁴¹Others said: This is the Christ. But some said: Doth the Christ come out of Galilee?

⁴²Doth not the scripture say: That Christ cometh of the seed of David and from Bethlehem the town where David was?

⁴³So there arose a dissension among the people because of him.

⁴⁴And some of them would have apprehended him: but no man laid hands upon him.

Read in Logos

John 7:37–38: On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as the Scripture has said, ‛Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’”
