John 7:26-36

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

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

²⁸Then 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.

²⁹But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

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

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

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

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

³⁵Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go to the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles?

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