26. Look, He speaks openly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be that the leaders know He is the Messiah?
27. But we know where this person is from. But the Messiah, whenever He may come, no one knows where He is from.”
28. Then, while teaching in the Temple courts, Yeshua cried out, “You know both who I am and where I am from! I have not come on My own, but the One 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. Then they were trying to seize Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31. Yet many from the crowd believed in Him and were saying, “When the Messiah comes, He won’t perform more signs than this person has, will He?”
32. The Pharisees heard people in the crowd murmuring these things about Him, and the ruling kohanim and Pharisees sent guards to arrest Him.
33. Yeshua said, “I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the One who sent Me.
34. You will look for Me but will not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come.”
35. The Judean leaders then said among themselves, “Where is this person about to go that we shall not find Him? He’s not going to the Diaspora to teach the Greeks, is He?
36. What did He mean by saying, ‘You will look for Me but will not find Me. Where I am, you cannot come’?”
37. On the last and greatest day of the Feast, Yeshua stood up and cried out loudly, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.
38. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture says, ‘out of his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’”
39. Now He said this about the Ruach, whom those who trusted in Him were going to receive; for the Ruach was not yet given, since Yeshua was not yet glorified.
40. When they heard these words, some of the crowd said, “This man really is the Prophet.”
41. Others were saying, “This is the Messiah.” Still others were saying, “The Messiah doesn’t come from the Galilee, does He?
42. Didn’t the Scripture say that the Messiah comes from the seed of David and from Bethlehem, David’s town?”
43. So a division arose in the crowd because of Yeshua.
44. Some wanted to capture Him, but no one laid hands on Him.
45. Then the guards returned to the ruling kohanim and Pharisees, who asked them, “Why didn’t you bring Him?”
