mnt - John:7:25-44

mnt@John:7:25 @ Then some of the men of Jerusalem were saying. "Is not this the man they are seeking to kill?

mnt@John:7:26 @ "And look! he is speaking boldly and they are saying nothing to him. Can it possibly be that the rulers have really discovered that he is the Christ?

mnt@John:7:27 @ "But we know this man and where he is from; but when the Christ comes no one will know where he comes from."

mnt@John:7:28 @ So Jesus cried aloud as he was teaching in the Temple, and said. "You both know me and you know where I am from; and I am not come on my own authority, but he who sent me is trustworthy, and him you do not know.

mnt@John:7:29 @ "But I now him, because I am from him and he sent me."

mnt@John:7:30 @ Then they kept seeking to arrest him, but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

mnt@John:7:31 @ But many of the crowd believed on him and began to say, "The Christ, when he comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

mnt@John:7:32 @ The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the high priest and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.

mnt@John:7:36 @ "What does he mean saying, You shall seek me and you shall not find me, and Where I am you cannot come?"

mnt@John:7:37 @ Now the last day, that the great day of the feast, Jesus stood up and cried in a loud voice.

mnt@John:7:39 @ Now he said this concerning the Spirit whom those who believed in him should receive. For the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

mnt@John:7:40 @ Some of the crowd who had been listening to these discourses began to say, "Without a doubt this man is a Prophet."

mnt@John:7:41 @ Other said, "He is the Christ." But others were saying. "Surely the Christ is not to come out of Galilee, is he?

mnt@John:7:42 @ "Does not the Scripture say that the Christ is coming of the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, Davids town?"

mnt@John:7:43 @ So a division arose in the crowd concerning him. Some of them wished to apprehend him, but no one laid hands on him.
