John 7:27-39

Living_Oracles(i) 27 But we know whence this man is; whereas, when the Messiah shall come, no person will know whence he is. 28 Jesus, who was then teaching in the temple, cried, Do you know both who, and whence I am? I came not of myself. But he is true, who sent me, whom you know not. 29 As for me, I know him, because I came from him, and am commissioned by him. 30 Then they sought to apprehend him, but none laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. 31 Many of the people, however, believed on him, and said, When the Messiah shall come, will he do more miracles than this man does? 32 When the Pharisees heard that the people muttered such things concerning him, they and the chief priests dispatched officers to seize him. 33 Jesus, therefore, said, Yet a little while I remain with you; then I go to him who sent me. 34 You shall seek me, but shall not find me; nor be able to come where I am. 35 The Jews said, among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? Will he go to the dispersed Greeks, and teach the Greeks? 36 What does he mean, by saying, You shall seek me, but shall not find me, nor be able to get thither, where I shall be. 37 On the last, and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come to me, and drink. 38 He who believes on me, as the scripture says, shall be like a cistern, whence rivers of living waters shall flow. 39 This he spoke of the Spirit, which they who believed on him were to receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
