John 7:24-31

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

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

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

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

²⁸Therefore 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.

²⁹I 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.

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

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