Is Jesus the Christ?

Is Jesus the Christ?

25Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say,[fn] “Is this notthe one whom they are seeking to kill? 26And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ? 27Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes—no one knows where he is from!”

28Then Jesus cried out in the temple courts,[fn] teaching and saying, “You both know me and you know where I am from! And I have not come from myself, but the one who sent me is true, whom you do not know. 29I know him, because I am from him and he sent me.”

30So they were seeking to seize him, and no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come. 31But from the crowd many believed in him and were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes, he will not perform more signs than this man has done, will he?”[fn]

32The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers in order to take him into custody .[fn] 33Then Jesus said, “Yet a little time I am with you, and I am going to the one who sent me. 34You will seek me and will not find me,[fn][fn] and where I am, you cannot come.”

35So the Jews said to one another, “Where is this one going to go, that we will not find him? He is not going to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks, is he?[fn] 36What is this saying that he said, ‘You will seek me and will not find me,[fn][fn] and where I am, you cannot come’?”
