John 7:26-34 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?

27. But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from."

28. Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: "You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.

29. I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me."

30. Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31. But many among the crowd believed in him, and they were saying, "When the Christ arrives, will he perform more signs than this man does?"

32. The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him. And the leaders and the Pharisees sent attendants to apprehend him.

33. Therefore, Jesus said to them: "For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.

34. You shall seek me, and you will not find me. And where I am, you are not able to go."
