24 Judge not by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment.

25 And some of the people of Jerusalem said, 'Is this not the one whom they seek to kill?'

26 Behold, he speaketh plainly, and say nothing unto him, Have not the rulers been convinced that he is indeed the Christ?

27 But we know Him whence He comes; When Christ comes, no one will know where He comes from.

28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "And you know me, and you know where I come from; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

29 I know Him because I am of Him, and He sent Me.

30 And they sought to seize him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31 And many of the people believed in him, and said, 'When Christ comes, will he do more signs than this one has done?'

32 And when the Pharisees heard such talk about him among the people, the Pharisees and the chief priests sent ministers to seize him.

33 And Jesus said unto them, 'I shall not be long with you, and I will go to him who sent me;

34 ye shall seek me, and ye shall not find me; and where I am, *there* you cannot come.

35 And the Jews said among themselves, 'Where does he want to go, so that we shall not find him?' Does He not want to go into the Hellenic diaspora and teach the Greeks?

36 What is the meaning of these words which he said, 'You will seek me, and you will not find me; and where am I, *there* you cannot come?

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

38 Whosoever believeth on me, as it is said in the Scriptures, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.

39 These things he said concerning the Spirit, which those who believe in him had to receive: for the Holy Spirit was not yet upon them, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

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

E-41 Others said, "This is Christ." And some said, "Will Christ come from Galilee?"

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

43 And there was a strife among the people about him.

44 Some of them wanted to seize Him; but no one laid hands on Him.
