John 7:20-31

²⁰The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?

²¹Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

²²Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.

²³If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?

²⁴Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.

²⁵Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

²⁷But as to this man we know whence he is. Now as to the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.

²⁸Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, Ye both know me and ye know whence I am; and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye do not know.

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

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

³¹But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this man has done?
