27But that's not possible because we know where he comes from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he's from.”
28While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus called out in a loud voice, “So you think you know me and where I'm from? However, I did not come for my own sake. The one who sent me is true. You don't know him,
29but I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
30So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come.
31However, many of the crowd did put their trust in him. “When the Messiah appears, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?” they said.
32When the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering this about him, they and the chief priests sent guards to arrest Jesus.
33Then Jesus told the people, “I'll be with you just a little longer, but then I'll return to the one who sent me.
34You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going.”
35The Jews said to each other, “Where could he be going that we couldn't find him? Is he planning to go to those scattered among the foreigners, and teach the foreigners?
36What does he mean by saying, ‘You'll search for me but you won't find me; and you can't come where I'm going’?”
37On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and shouted out in a loud voice, “If you're thirsty, come to me and drink.
38If you trust in me, you will have streams of life-giving water flowing out from within you, as Scripture says.”
39He was referring to the Spirit that those who trusted in him would later receive. The Spirit hadn't been given yet because Jesus hadn't yet been glorified.
40When they heard these words, some of the people said, “This man is definitely the Prophet!”
41Others said, “He is the Messiah!” Still others said, “How can the Messiah come from Galilee?
