John 7:26-29

²⁶Yet 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?

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

²⁸Therefore, 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.

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