Old/New Testament
28 So Jesus cried-out while teaching in the temple and saying, “You both know Me and You know where I am from. And[a] I have not come of Myself. However, the One having sent Me is true— Whom you do not know. 29 I know Him, because I am from Him. And that One sent Me forth”. 30 Therefore they were seeking to seize Him. And no one put his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
I Will Be With You a Short Time Longer, Then I Am Returning To God
31 But many from the crowd believed in Him. And they were saying, “When the Christ comes, He will not do more[b] signs than the ones which this One did, will He?” 32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him. And the chief priests and the Pharisees sent out officers in order that they might seize Him. 33 So Jesus said, “I am with you a short time longer, and [then] I am going to the One having sent Me. 34 You will seek Me, and will not find Me. And where I am, you are not able to come”. 35 Then the Jews said to themselves, “Where is this One going to go that we will not find Him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion of the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is He? 36 What is this statement that He said: ‘You will seek Me and will not find Me. And where I am, you are not able to come’?”
On The Last Day Jesus Said, Come To Me. The Crowd Remained Divided Over Him
37 Now on the last day, the great day of the Feast, Jesus was standing there. And He cried-out, saying, “If anyone is thirsting, let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one believing in Me, just as the Scripture said— Rivers of living water will flow from his[c] belly”. 39 Now He said this concerning the Spirit, Whom the ones having believed in Him were going to receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. 40 Then some from the crowd, having heard these words, were saying “This One is truly the Prophet[d]”. 41 Others were saying “This One is the Christ”. But the[e] ones were saying “The Christ is not indeed[f] coming from Galilee, is He? 42 Did not the Scripture say that the Christ comes from the seed of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?” 43 So a division took place in the crowd because of Him. 44 And some of them were wanting to seize Him, but no one put his hands on Him.
Most of The Jewish Rulers And Pharisees Did Not Believe In Him
45 Then the officers went to the chief priests and Pharisees. And those ones said to them, “For what reason did you not bring Him?” 46 The officers answered, “Never did a man speak in this manner”. 47 Then the Pharisees responded to them, “You also have not been deceived, have you? 48 Someone from the rulers did not believe in Him, did he, or from the Pharisees? 49 But this crowd not knowing the Law— they are accursed ones”. 50 Nicodemus— the one having come to Him formerly, being one of them— says to them, 51 “Our Law does not judge the person unless it first hears from him, and knows what he is doing, does it ?” 52 They responded and said to him, “You also are not from Galilee, are you?
