John:7:25-44
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then said some of them of Jerusalem ,
Is not this he ,
whom they seek to kill ?
*
But ,
lo ,
he speaketh boldly ,
and they say nothing unto him .
Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ ?
*
Howbeit we know this man whence he is :
but when Christ cometh ,
no man knoweth whence he is .
*
Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught ,
saying ,
Ye both know me ,
and ye know whence I am :
and I am not come of myself ,
but he that sent me is true ,
whom ye know not .
*
But I know him :
for I am from him ,
and he hath sent me .
*
Then they sought to take him :
but no man laid hands on him ,
because his hour was not yet come .
*
And many of the people believed on him ,
and said ,
When Christ cometh ,
will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done ?
*
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 .
