John 7:23-28
English Standard Version
Chapter 7
23If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man 's whole body well? 24Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
25Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?
26And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?
27But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from."
28So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, "You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
