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.
31But many of the crowd believed in Him, and were saying, “When the Messiah comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
32The Pharisees heard the crowd murmuring these things about Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent attendants so that they might arrest Him.
33Then Jesus said, “Yet a little while am I with you, and then I go to Him who sent Me.
