John 7:20-30

²⁰The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

²¹Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

²²Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

²³If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

²⁴Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”

²⁵Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

²⁹I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

³⁰They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
