Interpretation of the Gospel of John

419

And Jesus said to them, "I will be with you a little longer...

420

You will seek Me, and you will not find Me;

421

and where I am, there you cannot come.

422

And the Jews said among themselves, Whither will he go, so that we shall not find him? Does He not want to go into the Hellenic diaspora and teach the Greeks? What is the meaning of these words which He said: "You will seek Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, there you cannot come"?

423

And on the last great day of the feast Jesus stood and cried out, saying, "Whosoever thirst, let him come to me and drink."

424

Whoever believes in Me, as it is said in the Scriptures, rivers of living water will flow out of his belly.

425

I have not hidden Thy righteousness in my heart.

426

This he said about the Spirit, whom those who believe in him had to receive:

427

for the Holy Spirit was not yet upon them;

428

for Jesus had not yet been glorified.

429

And many of the people, when they heard these words, said, He is surely a prophet.

430

Others said, "This is Christ."

431

And some said, "Will Christ come from Galilee?"

432

Does not the Scripture say that Christ will come from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, from the place where David was?
