John 7:27-37

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 .

35 Then said the Jews 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?

36 What manner of saying is this that he said , Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am , thither ye cannot * come ?

37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried , saying , If any man thirst , let him come unto me, and drink .
