Context of John 7:25

23If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath? 24Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment. Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill? 26and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ? 27But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
