21. Jesus responded and said to them: "One work have I done, and you all wonder.
22. For Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers) and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23. If a man can receive circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you indignant toward me, because I have made a man whole on the Sabbath?
24. Do not judge according to appearances, but instead judge a just judgment."
25. Therefore, some of those from Jerusalem said: "Is he not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
26. And behold, he is speaking openly, and they say nothing to him. Could the leaders have decided that it is true this one is the Christ?
27. But we know him and where he is from. And when the Christ has arrived, no one will know where he is from."
28. Therefore, Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying: "You know me, and you also know where I am from. And I have not arrived of myself, but he who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
29. I know him. For I am from him, and he has sent me."
30. Therefore, they were seeking to apprehend him, and yet no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31. But many among the crowd believed in him, and they were saying, "When the Christ arrives, will he perform more signs than this man does?"
32. The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him. And the leaders and the Pharisees sent attendants to apprehend him.
33. Therefore, Jesus said to them: "For a brief time, I am still with you, and then I am going to him who sent me.
34. You shall seek me, and you will not find me. And where I am, you are not able to go."
35. And so the Jews said among themselves: "Where is this place to which he will go, such that we will not find him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Gentiles and teach the Gentiles?
36. What is this word that he spoke, 'You will seek me and you will not find me; and where I am, you are not able to go?' "
37. Then, on the last great day of the feast, Jesus was standing and crying out, saying: "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink:
38. whoever believes in me, just as Scripture says, 'From his chest shall flow rivers of living water.' "
39. Now he said this about the Spirit, which those who believe in him would soon be receiving. For the Spirit had not yet been given, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.
40. Therefore, some from that crowd, when they had heard these words of his, were saying, "This one truly is the Prophet."
