John 7:28–36

²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying,“You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.↗

²⁹I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”↗

³⁰They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.↗

³¹But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”↗

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.↗

³³Then Jesus said,“I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.↗

³⁴You will seek me and won’t find me. You can’t come where I am.”↗

³⁵The Jews therefore said among themselves, “Where will this man go that we won’t find him? Will he go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?↗

³⁶What is this word that he said,‘You will seek me, and won’t find me;’and‘Where I am, you can’t come’?”↗
