But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ?
27
However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from."
28
Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29
But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me."
30
Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31
And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"
32
The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
33
Then Jesus said to them, "I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I go to Him who sent Me.
34
You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come."
35
Then the Jews said among themselves, "Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?
36
What is this thing that He said, 'You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
