I did not come on my own, but I came from the
Father, whom you do not know. I know Him, because I am from Him, and He
sent me.
Then they sought to take Him, but no man laid hands on Him because His
hour was not yet come. Many of the people believed in Him and said,
Could Christ do more than the things this man has done? The Pharisees
heard that the people murmured such things about Him and they, along
with the chief priests, sent officers to arrest Him.
Jesus said to them, I will be with you a little while longer and then I
will go to Him who sent me. You will look for me and will not find me.
And where I am going, you cannot come. The Jews said to eachother,
Where will He go that we will not find Him? Will He go to those
dispersed among the Gentiles and teach them? What kind of saying is it
that He said, You will look for me and will not find me? And, where I
am going, you cannot come?
On the closing day of the feast, Jesus stood up and said, If any man
thirsts, let Him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, it is
written in the scripture: out of his belly will flow rivers of living
water. Jesus said this to signify the Spirit which those who believe in
Him would receive. The Holy Spirit was not yet revealed because Jesus
had not yet been glorified.
Many of the people, when they heard this, said, Truly, this is the
prophet.
