007:030 On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand
was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come.
007:031 But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him.
"When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more
miracles than this teacher has performed?"
007:032 The Pharisees heard the people thus expressing their various
doubts about Him, and the High Priests and the Pharisees sent
some officers to apprehend Him.
007:033 So Jesus said, "Still for a short time I am with you,
and then I go my way to Him who sent me.
007:034 You will look for me and will not find me, and where I am
you cannot come."
007:035 The Jews therefore said to one another, "Where is he about
to betake himself, so that we shall not find him?
Will he betake himself to the Dispersion among the Gentiles,
and teach the Gentiles?
007:036 What do those words of his mean, `You will look for me,
but will not find me, and where I am you cannot come'?"
007:037 On the last day of the Festival--the great day--Jesus stood
up and cried aloud. "Whoever is thirsty," He said, "let him
come to me and drink.
007:038 He who believes in me, from within him--as the Scripture has said--
rivers of living water shall flow."
007:039 He referred to the Spirit which those who believed in Him
were to receive; for the Spirit was not bestowed as yet,
because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
007:040 After listening to these discourses, some of the crowd began
to say, "This is beyond doubt the Prophet."
007:041 Others said, "He is the Christ." But others again, "Not so,
for is the Christ to come from Galilee?
007:042 Has not the Scripture declared that the Christ is to come
of the family of David and from Bethlehem, David's village?"
007:043 So there was a violent dissension among the people on His account.
007:044 Some of them wanted at once to arrest Him, but no one laid
hands upon Him.
007:045 Meanwhile the officers returned to the High Priests and Pharisees,
who asked them, "Why have you not brought him?"
007:046 "No mere man has ever spoken as this man speaks,"
said the officers.
007:047 "Are *you* deluded too?" replied the Pharisees;
007:048 "has any one of the Rulers or of the Pharisees believed in him?
