New Testament

John 7:28-35 New International Version (NIV)

28. Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own authority, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,

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

30. At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31. Still, many in the crowd believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, will he perform more signs than this man?”

32. The Pharisees heard the crowd whispering such things about him. Then the chief priests and the Pharisees sent temple guards to arrest him.

33. Jesus said, “I am with you for only a short time, and then I am 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. The Jews said to one another, “Where does this man intend to go that we cannot find him? Will he go where our people live scattered among the Greeks, and teach the Greeks?
