Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go…
“Then said the Jews among themselves, Whither will he go, that we shall not find him? will he go unto the dispersed among the Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles? / What manner of saying is this that he said, Ye shall seek me, and shall not find me: and where I am, thither ye cannot come? / In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.”
