acv John:7:25-44 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Therefore some of the Jerusalemites said ,
Is not this he whom they seek to kill ?
*
And lo ,
he speaks in public ,
and they say nothing to him .
Perhaps the rulers really know that this really is the Christ ?
*
However we know this man ,
where he is from ,
but when the Christ comes ,
no man knows where he is from .
*
Jesus therefore cried out in the temple ,
teaching and saying ,
Ye both know me ,
and know where I am from ?
And I have not come of myself ,
but he who sent me is true ,
whom ye know not .
*
I know him ,
because I am from him ,
and he sent me .
*
They sought therefore to seize him ,
and yet no man laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come .
*
But many from the crowd believed in him ,
and they said ,
When the Christ comes ,
will he do more signs than these that this man did ?
*
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him ,
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent subordinates so that they might take him .
*
Jesus therefore said ,
Yet a little time I am with you ,
and then I go to him who sent me .
*
Ye will seek me ,
and will not find me ,
and where I am ,
ye cannot come .
*
The Jews therefore said among themselves ,
Where is this man going to go that we will not find him ?
Is he going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks ,
and teach the Greeks ?
*
What is this word that he said ,
Ye will seek me ,
and will not find me ,
and ,
Where I am ,
ye cannot come ?
*
Now on the last day ,
the great day of the feast ,
Jesus had stood and cried out ,
saying ,
If any man thirsts ,
let him come to me and drink .
*
He who believes in me ,
as the scripture has said ,
out of his belly will flow rivers of living water .
*
But he spoke this about the Spirit that those who believe in him were going to receive ,
for Holy Spirit was not yet ,
because Jesus was not yet glorified .
*
Many from the multitude therefore ,
when they heard the saying ,
said ,
This is truly the prophet .
*
Others said ,
This is the Christ .
Others said ,
For does the Christ come out of Galilee ?
*
Has not the scripture said that the Christ comes of the seed of David ,
and from Bethlehem ,
the village where David was ?
*
So there became a division among the multitude because of him .
*
And some of them wanted to taken him ,
but no man laid hands on him .
