John 7:28-39 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

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.
