Is Jesus the Christ?

Then some of the [people] of Jerusalem began to say,“Isn’t this [the man] they are trying to kill? 26 Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying [anything] to Him. {Have} the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ? 27 But we know where this [man] is {from}. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is {from}.”

28 

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple [courts], cried out“You know Me, and you know where I am {from}. vvv I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You {do} not know Him, 29 but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”

30 

So they tried to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour {had} not yet come. 31 Many in the crowd, however, believed in Him and said,“When the Christ comes, vvv will He perform more signs than this [man]

32 

[When] the Pharisees heard the crowd whispering these things about [Jesus], [they] and the chief priests[fn] sent officers to arrest Him. 33 So Jesus said,[fn]“I am with you only a little while longer, and then I am going to the [One who] sent Me. 34 You will look for Me, [but] vvv you will not find [Me]; and where I am, you vvv cannot come.”

35 

At this, the Jews said to one another,“Where {does} He intend to go that we vvv will not find Him vvv? Will He go where the [Jews] are dispersed among the Greeks,[fn] and teach the Greeks? 36 What vvv vvv vvv does He mean by saying,‘You will look for Me, [but] vvv you will not find Me,’ and,‘Where I am, you vvv cannot come’?”
