John 7:32–53

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 ^fBeth-lehem, ^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.

⁴⁵Then came ^kthe officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said unto them, ^kWhy have ye not brought him? ^46kThe officers answered, ^lNever man spake like this man. ⁴⁷Then answered them the Pharisees, ^mAre ye also deceived? ⁴⁸ⁿHave any of ^othe rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him? ⁴⁹But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed. ^50oNicodemus saith unto them, ^p(he that came ^†to Jesus by night, being one of them,) ⁵¹Doth ^qour law judge any man, before it ^rhear him, and know what he doeth? ⁵²They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and look: for ^sout of Galilee ariseth no prophet.

⁵³And every man went unto his own house.
