can not come?
(37)In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
cried, saying: If any one thirst, let him come to me and drink. (38)He
that believes on me, as said the Scripture, out of his belly shall
flow rivers of living water. (39)And this he spoke concerning the
Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive; for the Holy
Spirit was not yet [given], because Jesus was not yet glorified.
(40)Some of the multitude therefore, hearing the words, said: Of a
truth this is the Prophet. (41)Others said: This is the Christ. But
some said: Does the Christ then come out of Galilee? (42)Did not the
Scripture say, that the Christ comes of the seed of David, and from
the town of Bethlehem, where David was? (43)A division therefore arose
among the multitude because of him. (44)And some of them desired to
seize him; but no one laid hands on him.
(45)The officers therefore came to the chief priests and Pharisees;
and they said to them: Why did ye not bring him? (46)The officers
answered: Never man spoke like this man[7:47]. (47)The Pharisees
answered them: Are ye also led astray? (48)Did any of the rulers
believe on him, or of the Pharisees? (49)But this multitude, that know
not the law, are accursed. (50)Nicodemus says to them (he who came to
him by night, being one of them): (51)Does our law judge a man, except
it first hear from him, and know what he does? (52)They answered and
said to him: Art thou also of Galilee? Search, and see, that out of
Galilee arises no prophet[7:52]. (53)[7:53][And each one went to his
house.

JESUS went to the mount of the Olives.
(2)And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the
people came to him; and having sat down, he was teaching them. (3)And
the scribes and the Pharisees bring to him a woman taken in adultery;
and having placed her in the midst, (4)they say to him: Teacher, this
woman was taken in adultery, in the very act: (5)Now in the law Moses
commanded us, that such should be stoned; what then dost thou say?
(6)This they said, tempting him, that they might have whereof to
accuse him. But Jesus, having stooped down, was writing with his
finger in the ground. (7)And as they continued asking him, raising
himself up, he said to them: He that is without sin among you, let him
first cast the stone at her. (8)And again stooping down, he wrote in
the ground. (9)And they hearing it, and being convicted by their
conscience, went out on
