John 7:25-29

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? (or Perhaps our leaders know that he is truly the Messiah?)

²⁷But 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.)

²⁸Therefore 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.

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 (or for I am from him), and he sent me.
