JOHN 7:25-52
7:25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to 
kill?
7:26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers 
know indeed that this is the very Christ?
7:27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man 
knoweth whence he is.
7:28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and 
ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, 
whom ye know not.
7:29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
7:30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his 
hour was not yet come.
7:31 And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will 
he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?
7:32 The Pharisees heard that the people murmured such things concerning him; 
and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take him.
7:33 Then said Jesus unto them, Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go 
unto him that sent me.
7:34 Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot 
come.
7:35 Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not 
find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the 
Gentiles?
7:36 What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall 
not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come?
7:37 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, 
saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.
7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly 
shall flow rivers of living water.
7:39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should 
receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet 
glorified.)
7:40 Many of the people therefore, when they heard this saying, said, Of a 
truth this is the Prophet.
7:41 Others said, This is the Christ. But some said, Shall Christ come out of 
Galilee?
7:42 Hath not the scripture said, That Christ cometh of the seed of David, and 
out of the town of Bethlehem, where David was?
7:43 So there was a division among the people because of him.
7:44 And some of them would have taken him; but no man laid hands on him.
7:45 Then came the officers to the chief priests and Pharisees; and they said 
unto them, Why have ye not brought him?
7:46 The officers answered, Never man spake like this man.
7:47 Then answered them the Pharisees, Are ye also deceived?
7:48 Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed on him?
7:49 But this people who knoweth not the law are cursed.
7:50 Nicodemus saith unto them, (he that came to Jesus by night, being one of 
them,)
7:51 Doth our law judge any man, before it hear him, and know what he doeth?
7:52 They answered and said unto him, Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and 
look: for out of Galilee ariseth no prophet.
