John:7:32-53
Seeker Overlay ON
*
The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him ;
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him .
*
Then said Jesus unto them ,
Yet a little while am I with you ,
and then I go unto him that sent me .
*
Ye shall seek me ,
and shall not find me :
and where I am ,
thither ye cannot come .
*
Then said the Jews among themselves ,
Whither will he go ,
that we shall not find him ?
will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles ,
and teach the Gentiles ?
*
What manner of saying is this that he said ,
Ye shall seek me ,
and shall not find me :
and where I am ,
thither ye cannot come ?
*
In the last day ,
that great day of the feast ,
Jesus stood and cried ,
saying ,
If any man thirst ,
let him come unto me ,
and drink .
*
He that believeth on me ,
as the scripture hath said ,
out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water .
* (
But this spake he of the Spirit ,
which they that believe on him should receive :
for the Holy Ghost was not yet given ;
because that Jesus was not yet glorified .)
*
Many of the people therefore ,
when they heard this saying ,
said ,
Of a truth this is the Prophet .
*
Others said ,
This is the Christ .
But some said ,
Shall Christ come out of Galilee ?
*
Hath not the scripture said ,
That Christ cometh of the seed of David ,
and out of the town of Bethlehem ,
where David was ?
*
So there was a division among the people because of him .
*
And some of them would have taken him ;
but no man laid hands on him .
*
Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees ;
and they said unto them ,
Why have ye not brought him ?
*
The officers answered ,
Never man spake like this man .
*
Then answered them the Pharisees ,
Are ye also deceived ?
*
Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him ?
*
But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed .
*
Nicodemus saith unto them , (
he that came to Jesus by night ,
being one of them ,)
*
Doth our law judge any man ,
before it hear him ,
and know what he doeth ?
*
They answered and said unto him ,
Art thou also of Galilee ?
Search ,
and look :
for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet .
*
And every man went unto his own house .
