John 7:27-36

²⁷Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.

²⁸Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.

²⁹I know him, because I am from him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude thus debating concerning him; and the chief priest and the Pharisees sent officers to seize him.

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

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

³⁵The Jews therefore said among themselves, Whither will this man go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?

³⁶What meaneth this which he said, Ye will seek me, and not find me; and where I am, ye cannot come?
