John 7:20-31

²⁰Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered, and said: Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to kill thee?

²¹Jesus answered, and said to them: One work I have done; and you all wonder:

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

²³If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

²⁴Judge not according to the appearance, but judge just judgment.

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

²⁶And behold, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers known for a truth, that this is the Christ?

²⁷But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

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

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

³⁰They sought therefore to apprehend him: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³¹But of the people many believed in him, and said: When the Christ cometh, shall he do more miracles, than these which this man doth?
