nkjv John:7:32-45 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
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 cannot come ."
*
Then the Jews said among themselves , "
Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him ?
Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks ?
*
What is this thing that He said , "
You will seek Me and not find Me ,
and where I am you cannot 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 in 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 in Him would 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 , "
Will the Christ 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 among the people because of Him .
*
Now some of them wanted to take Him ,
but no one laid hands on Him .
*
Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees ,
who said to them , "
Why have you not brought Him ?"
