John 7:24-34

24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill ?

26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed * that this is the very Christ?

27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is : but when Christ cometh , no man knoweth whence he is .

28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught * , saying , Ye both know me , and ye know whence I am : and 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 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come .

31 And many of the people believed on him, and said * , When Christ cometh , will he do * more miracles than these which this man hath done ?

32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.

33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go unto him that sent me.

34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am , thither ye cannot * come .
