John 7:24-31 in English

²⁴ Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

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

²⁶ And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

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

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

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

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

³¹ But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?

²⁴ Don’t judge by appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Some of the people of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

²⁶ Look! He is speaking boldly, and they say nothing to Him. The rulers haven’t really concluded that this is the Christ, have they?

²⁷ Still, we know where this man is from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

²⁸ Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I’m from. I haven’t come of my own accord, but He who sent me is true, who you don’t know.

²⁹ I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent me.”

³⁰ Because of this, they were seeking to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him, because His time had not yet come.

³¹ Many of the people believed in Him, saying, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than this man has done?”

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

²⁵ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

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

²⁸ Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

²⁹ But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰ Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³¹ And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

²⁴ Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

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

²⁶ And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

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

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

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

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

³¹ But of the multitude many believed on him; and they said, When the Christ shall come, will he do more signs than those which this man hath done?

²⁴ Stop deciding whether my healing this man is wrong according to what you see! Instead, decide according to what is really the right action to help people”!

²⁵ Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “◄This is the man that they are trying to kill!/Isn't this the man that they are trying to kill?► RHQ

²⁶ He is saying these things ◄publicly/in front of many people►, but our Jewish rulers are not saying anything to oppose him. Is that because they have decided that he is truly ◄the Messiah/God's chosen king►?

²⁷ But he cannot be the Messiah, because we know where this man came from. When the Messiah really comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ They said that because they thought Jesus was born in Nazareth. So while Jesus was teaching people in the Temple courtyard, he shouted, “Yes, you say that you know me, and you think you know IRO where I am from. But I have come here not ◄because I appointed myself/with my own authority►. Instead, God is the one who truly sent me. You do not know him.

²⁹ But I know him, because I have come from him. He is the one who sent me!”

³⁰ Then they tried to seize him because he said that he had come from God. But no one put their hands on him to do that, because it was not yet the time MTY for him to die.

³¹ But many of the crowd believed that he had come from God. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he certainly will not do more miracles than this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

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

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

²⁶ And 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?

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

²⁸ Then, 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.

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

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

³¹ And 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?

²⁴ Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.

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

²⁶ and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

²⁷ But as to this man we know whence he is. Now as to the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.

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

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; and no one laid his hand upon him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But many of the crowd believed on him, and said, Will the Christ, when he comes, do more signs than those which this man has done?

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

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

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

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

²⁸ Jesus 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.

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

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

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

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

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

²⁶ And 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?

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

²⁸ Therefore 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.

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

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

³¹ But 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?”

²⁴ Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?

²⁶ Yet look! He is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to Him. Could it be true that the rulers know that this is really the Christ?

²⁷ On the other hand, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes nobody knows where He is from.”

²⁸ So Jesus called out in the temple, teaching and saying: “You do know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the One who sent me is true, whom you do not know.

²⁹ I do know Him because I am from Him, and He sent me.”

³⁰ So they tried to arrest Him, yet no one laid a hand on Him because His hour had not yet come.

³¹ Now many of the crowd were believing into Him, and they were saying, “Whenever the Christ comes He won't perform more signs than these which this man has done, will He?”

²⁴ Don't judge by appearances; decide what is right!”

²⁵ Then some of those from Jerusalem began wondering, “Isn't this the one they're trying to kill?

²⁶ But see how openly he's speaking, and they're saying nothing to him. Do you think the authorities believe he's the Messiah?

²⁷ But that's not possible because we know where he comes from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he's from.”

²⁸ While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus called out in a loud voice, “So you think you know me and where I'm from? However, I did not come for my own sake. The one who sent me is true. You don't know him,

²⁹ but I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”

³⁰ So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him because his time had not yet come.

³¹ However, many of the crowd did put their trust in him. “When the Messiah appears, will he do more miraculous signs than this man has done?” they said.

²⁴ Iudge not according to the appearance, but iudge righteous iudgement.

²⁵ Then saide some of them of Hierusalem, Is not this he, whom they goe about to kill?

²⁶ And beholde, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him: doe the rulers know in deede that this is in deede that Christ?

²⁷ Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when that Christ commeth, no man shall knowe whence he is.

²⁸ Then cried Iesus in the Temple as hee taught, saying, Ye both knowe mee, and knowe whence I am: yet am I not come of my selfe, but he that sent me, is true, whome ye knowe not.

²⁹ But I knowe him: for I am of him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰ Then they sought to take him, but no man layde handes on him, because his houre was not yet come.

³¹ Now many of the people beleeued in him, and said, When that Christ commeth, will he doe moe miracles then this man hath done?

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

²⁵ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

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

²⁸ Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

²⁹ But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰ Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³¹ And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do moe miracles than these which this man hath done?

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

²⁵ Then some of the men of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ and see! he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers discovered certainly that this man is the Christ?

²⁷ Still, as to this man, we know whence he is; but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried aloud, teaching in the temple and saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but there is in truth one who sent me, whom ye know not.

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

³⁰ Therefore they sought to take him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude many believed in him, and said, When the Christ cometh, will he do more signs than these which this man doeth?

²⁴ Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.”

²⁵ At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed, “Is not this the man who they are seeking to put to death?

²⁶ Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?

²⁷ Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from.”

²⁸ Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said, “Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.

²⁹ I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his messenger.”

³⁰ So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.

³¹ Many of the people, however, believed in him. “When the Christ comes,” they said, “will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?”

²⁴ Do not judge by appearances; judge justly.”

²⁵ At this some of the people of Jerusalem exclaimed, “Is not this the man who they are seeking to put to death?

²⁶ Yet here he is, speaking out boldly, and they say nothing to him! Is it possible that our leading men have really discovered that he is the Christ?

²⁷ Yet we know where this man is from; but, when the Christ comes, no one will be able to tell where he is from.”

²⁸ Therefore, Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple Courts, raised his voice and said, “Yes; you know me and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own authority, but he who sent me may be trusted; and him you do not know.

²⁹ I do know him, for it is from him that I have come, and he sent me as his messenger.”

³⁰ So they sought to arrest him; but no one touched him, for his time was not come yet.

³¹ Many of the people, however, believed in him. “When the Christ comes,” they said, “will he give more signs of his mission than this man has given?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge upright judgment.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem City of peace said, “Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah Anointed one?

²⁷ However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah Anointed one comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Yeshua Salvation therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah Anointed one comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce: but iudge rightewes iudgement.

²⁵ Then sayd some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he who they goo aboute to kyll?

²⁶ Beholde he speaketh boldly and they saye nothinge to him. Do the rulars knowe in dede that this is very Christ?

²⁷ How be it we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh no man shall knowe whence he is.

²⁸ Then cryed Iesus in the temple as he taught sayinge: ye knowe me and whence I am ye knowe. And yet I am not come of my selfe but he that sent me is true whom ye knowe not.

²⁹ I knowe him: for I am of him and he hath sent me.

³⁰ Then they sought to take him: but no man layde hondes on him because his tyme was not yet come.

³¹ Many of the people beleved on him and sayde: when Christ cometh will he do moo miracles then this man hath done?

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

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

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

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

²⁸ Then 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.

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

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

³¹ But 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?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

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

²⁵ Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ But lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

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

²⁸ Then cried Jesus in the temple, as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

²⁹ But I know him; for I am from him, and he hath sent me.

³⁰ Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.

³¹ And many of the people believed on him, and said, When Christ cometh, will he do more miracles than these which this man hath done?

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”

²⁵ Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

²⁶ Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?

²⁷ However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

²⁸ Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

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

³⁰ They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

³¹ But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”

²⁴ Do not ye deem after the face, but deem ye a rightful doom.

²⁵ Therefore some of Jerusalem said, Whether this is not he, whom the Jews seek to slay?

²⁶ and lo! he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Whether the princes know verily that this is Christ?

²⁷ But we know this man, of whence he is; but when Christ shall come, no man knoweth of whence he is.

²⁸ Therefore Jesus cried in the temple teaching, and said, Ye know me, and ye know of whence I am; and I came not of myself, but he is true that sent me, whom ye know not.

²⁹ I know him, and if I say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar; but I know him, for of him I am, and he sent me.

³⁰ Therefore they sought to take him, and no man set on him hands, for his hour came not yet.

³¹ And many of the people believed in him, and said, When Christ shall come, whether he shall do more tokens than those that this doeth?

²⁴ Do not ye deem after the face, but deem ye a rightful doom. (Do not simply judge on the surface, but rather make the correct judgement.)

²⁵ Therefore some of Jerusalem said, Whether this is not he, whom the Jews seek to slay?

²⁶ and lo! he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Whether the princes know verily that this is Christ? (or Perhaps our leaders know that he is truly the Messiah?)

²⁷ But we know this man, of whence he is; but when Christ shall come, no man knoweth of whence he is. (And yet we know this man, where he is from; but when the Messiah shall come, no one shall know where he is from.)

²⁸ Therefore Jesus cried in the temple (when he was) teaching, and said, Ye know me, and ye know of whence I am; and I came not of myself, but he is true that sent me, whom ye know not.

²⁹ I know him, and if I say that I know him not, I shall be like to you, a liar; but I know him, for of him I am (or for I am from him), and he sent me.

³⁰ Therefore they sought to take (hold of) him, and no man set on him hands, for his hour came not yet. (And so they sought to take hold of him, but no one put his hands on him, for his hour had not yet come, or for it was not yet his time.)

³¹ And many of the people believed in him, and said, When Christ shall come, whether he shall do more tokens than those that this doeth? (or When the Messiah shall come, shall he do more signs, or miracles, than these which he doeth?)

²⁴ Nile ye deme aftir the face, but deme ye a riytful doom.

²⁵ Therfor summe of Jerusalem seiden, Whethir this is not he, whom the Jewis seken to sle?

²⁶ and lo! he spekith opynli, and thei seien no thing to hym. Whether the princes knewen verili, that this is Crist?

²⁷ But we knowun this man, of whennus he is; but whanne Crist schal come, no man woot of whennus he is.

²⁸ Therfor Jhesus criede in the temple `techynge, and seide, Ye knowen me, and `ye knowen of whennus Y am; and Y cam not of my silf, but he is trewe that sente me, whom ye knowen not.

²⁹ Y knowe hym, and if Y seie that Y knowe hym not, Y schal be lijk to you, a liere; but Y knowe hym, for of hym Y am, and he sente me.

³⁰ Therfor thei souyten to take hym, and no man sette on hym hoondis, for his our cam not yit.

³¹ And many of the puple bileueden in hym, and seiden, Whanne Crist schal come, whether he schal do mo tokenes, than tho that this doith?

²⁴ judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'

²⁵ Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, 'Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?

²⁶ and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?

²⁷ but this one — we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'

²⁸ Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, 'Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;

²⁹ and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'

³⁰ They were seeking, therefore, to seize him, and no one laid the hand on him, because his hour had not yet come,

³¹ and many out of the multitude did believe in him, and said — 'The Christ — when he may come — will he do more signs than these that this one did?'
