John 7:34-44

34 Ye shall seek me, and ye shall not find me; and where I am, ye be not able to come [and where I am, ye may not come].
35 Therefore the Jews said to themselves, Whither shall this go, for we shall not find him? whether he will go into the scattering of heathen men, and will teach the heathen?
36 What is this word, which he said, Ye shall seek me, and ye shall not find me; and where I am, ye be not able to come? [What is this word, that he said, Ye shall seek me, and ye shall not find; and where I am, ye may not come?]
37 But in the last day of the great feast, Jesus stood, and cried, and said [saying], If any man thirsteth, come he to me, and drink.
38 He that believeth in me, as the scripture saith, Rivers of quick water shall flow out of his womb [Floods of quick water shall flow of his womb].
39 But he said this thing of the Spirit [Soothly he said this thing of the Holy Ghost], which men that believed in him should take; for the Spirit was not yet given, for Jesus was not yet glorified.
40 Therefore of that company, when they had heard these words of him, they said, This is verily a prophet.
41 Others said, This is Christ. But some said, Whether Christ cometh from Galilee?
42 Whether the scripture saith not, that of the seed of David, and of the castle of Bethlehem, where David was, Christ cometh?
43 Therefore dissension was made among the people for him. [And so dissension is made in the company for him.]
44 And some of them would have taken him, but no man set hands on him.
