John 7:20-28

²⁰The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”

²¹Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.

²²Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

²³If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?

²⁴Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”

²⁵Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?

²⁶Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?

²⁷On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”

²⁸So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
