John 7:33-43

New American Standard Bible

³³ Therefore Jesus said, “^(A)For a little while longer I am going to be with you, and then ^(B)I am going to Him who sent Me. ^34 (C)You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.” ^35 (D)The Jews then said to one another, “^(E)Where does this Man intend to go that we will not find Him? He does not intend to go to ^(F)the Dispersion among ^(G)the Greeks, and teach the Greeks, does He? ³⁶ What is this statement that He said, ‘^(H)You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’?”

³⁷ Now on ^(I)the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “^(J)If anyone is thirsty, ^[a]let him come to Me and drink. ³⁸ The one who believes in Me, ^(K)as the Scripture said, ‘^[b]From his innermost being will flow rivers of ^(L)living water.’” ³⁹ But this He said ^(M)in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for ^(N)the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet ^(O)glorified.

People’s Division over Jesus

⁴⁰ Some of the people therefore, after they heard these words, were saying, “This truly is ^(P)the Prophet.” ⁴¹ Others were saying, “This is the ^[c]Christ.” But others were saying, “^(Q)Surely the ^[d]Christ is not coming from Galilee, is He? ⁴² Has the Scripture not said that the Christ comes from ^(R)the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” ⁴³ So ^(S)a dissension occurred in the crowd because of Him.
