John 7:25-31

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

26Yet, look, he’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to him. Can it be true that the authorities know he is the Messiah?

27But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he is from.”

28As he was teaching in the temple, Jesus cried out, “You 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. You don’t know him;

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

30Then they tried to seize him. Yet no one laid a hand on him because his hour had not yet come.

31However, many from the crowd believed in him and said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t perform more signs than this man has done, will he?”
