John 7:27-38 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

27. But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from.”

28. As He was teaching in the temple complex, Jesus cried out, “You know Me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on My own, but the One who sent Me is true. You don’t know Him;

29. I know Him because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

30. Then they tried to seize Him. Yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

31. However, many from the crowd believed in Him and said, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will He? ”

32. The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, so the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple police to arrest Him.

33. Then Jesus said, “I am only with you for a short time. Then I’m going to the One who sent Me.

34. You will look for Me, but you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come.”

35. Then the Jews said to one another, “Where does He intend to go so we won’t find Him? He doesn’t intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, does He?

36. What is this remark He made: ‘You will look for Me, and you will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come’ ? ”

37. On the last and most important day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone is thirsty, he should come to Me and drink!

38. The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, will have streams of living water flow from deep within him.”
