vw John:7:25-44 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then some of them from Jerusalem said ,
Is this not He whom they seek to kill ?
*
But behold ,
He speaks boldly ,
and they say nothing to Him .
Perhaps the rulers truly know that this is truly the Christ ?
*
However ,
we know where this Man is from ;
but when the Christ comes ,
no one knows where He is from .
*
Then Jesus cried out ,
as He taught in the temple ,
saying ,
You both know Me ,
and you know where I am from ;
and I have not come from Myself ,
but He who sent Me is true ,
whom you do not know .
*
But I know Him ,
for I am from Him ,
and He sent Me .
*
Therefore they sought to take Him ;
but no one laid a hand on Him ,
because His hour had not yet come .
*
And many out of the crowd believed into Him ,
and said ,
When the Christ comes ,
will He do more signs than these which this Man has done ?
*
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him ,
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him .
*
Then Jesus said to them ,
I shall be with you a little while longer ,
and then I go to Him who sent Me .
*
You will seek Me and not find Me ,
and where I am you are not able to come .
*
Then the Jews said among themselves ,
Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him ?
He does not intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks ,
does He ?
*
What is this thing that He said ,
You will seek Me and not find Me ,
and where I am you are not able to come ?
*
On the last day ,
that great day of the feast ,
Jesus stood and cried out ,
saying ,
If anyone thirsts ,
let him come to Me and drink .
*
He who believes into Me ,
as the Scripture has said ,
out of his heart will flow rivers of living water .
*
But this He spoke concerning the Spirit ,
whom those believing into Him were about to receive ;
for the Holy Spirit was not yet given ,
because Jesus was not yet glorified .
*
Therefore many from the crowd ,
when they heard this saying ,
said ,
Truly this is the Prophet .
*
Others said ,
This is the Christ .
But some said ,
Christ does not come out of Galilee .
*
Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem ,
where David was ?
*
So there was a division in the crowd because of Him .
*
And some of them wanted to take Him ,
but no one laid hands on Him .
