John 7:26-33

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

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

²⁸Jesus 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.

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

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

³¹But 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?

³²The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to take him.

³³Jesus therefore said, Yet a little while am I with you, and I go unto him that sent me.
