John 7:20-34

²⁰The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?

²¹This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.

²²Moses gave you circumcision — not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers — and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

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

²⁴Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.

²⁵Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

²⁶And here he is talking openly and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that the rulers have knowledge that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

²⁸Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

²⁹I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

³⁰Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

³¹And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

³²This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

³³Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.

³⁴You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.
