John 7:32
Compare all
30 Therefore athey sought to take Him; but bno one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.  
31 And amany of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”  

Jesus and the Religious Leaders

32 The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to take Him.
33 Then Jesus said1 to them, a“I shall be with you a little while longer, and then I bgo to Him who sent Me.  
34 You awill seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you bcannot come.”  
35 Then the Jews said among themselves, “Where does He intend to go that we shall not find Him? Does He intend to go to athe Dispersion among the Greeks and teach the Greeks?  
36 What is this thing that He said, ‘You will seek Me and not find Me, and where I am you cannot come’?”

The Promise of the Holy Spirit

37 aOn the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, b“If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink.  
38 aHe who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, bout of his heart will flow rivers of living water.”  
39 aBut this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those1 believing in Him would receive; for the2 Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet bglorified.  

Who Is He?

40 Therefore1 many from the crowd, when they heard this saying, said, “Truly this is athe Prophet.”  
41 Others said, “This is athe Christ.” But some said, “Will the Christ come out of Galilee?  
42 aHas not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the seed of David and from the town of Bethlehem, bwhere David was?”  
43 So athere was a division among the people because of Him.  
44 Now asome of them wanted to take Him, but no one laid hands on Him.  

Rejected by the Authorities

45 Then the officers came to the chief priests and Pharisees, who said to them, “Why have you not brought Him?”

The people murmured such things - The people began to be convinced that he was the Messiah; and this being generally whispered about, the Pharisees, etc., thought it high time to put him to death, lest the people should believe on him; therefore they sent officers to take him.
