John 7:34-43

³⁴You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be.”

³⁵“Where is this man going,” the people asked one another, “that we would not find him? Will he go to our countrymen abroad, and teach foreigners?

³⁶What does he mean by saying ‘You will look for me, and you will not find me; and you will not be able to come where I will be’?”

³⁷On the last and greatest day of the Festival, Jesus, who was standing by, exclaimed, “If anyone thirsts, they should come to me, and drink.

³⁸I tell you what I have myself seen in the presence of my Father; and you, in the same way, do what you have learned from your father.”

³⁹(By this he meant the Spirit, which those who had believed in him were to receive; for the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been exalted.)

⁴⁰Some of the people, when they heard these words, said, “This is certainly the Prophet!”;

⁴¹others said, “the Christ!”; but some asked, “What! Does the Christ come from Galilee?

⁴²Is not it said in scripture that it is of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village to which David belonged, that the Christ is to come?”

⁴³So there was a sharp division among the people because of Jesus.
