John 7:20-31

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

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

²²Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the ancestors), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

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

²⁴Do not judge according to appearance, but judge righteously.”

²⁵Some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is not this the one they seek to kill?

²⁶See, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. It cannot be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ, can it?

²⁷Yet we know where this one is from. But when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.”

²⁸Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me and know where I come from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, and you do not know him.

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

³⁰They were trying to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.

³¹But many in the crowd believed in him, and they said, “When the Christ comes, will he do more signs than what this one has done?”
