John 7:21-30

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

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

²³If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

²⁴Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

²⁵Therefore some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?

²⁶And look! He is speaking publicly, and they say nothing to Him. Can it be that the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Messiah?

²⁷However, we know where this Man is from; but whenever the Messiah comes, no one knows where He is from.”

²⁸Therefore Jesus cried out, as He was teaching in the temple, saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of my own accord, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

²⁹I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

³⁰Therefore they were seeking to arrest Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
