John 7:19-29

19 "1Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you 2seek to kill Me?"
20 The crowd answered, "3You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?"
21 Jesus answered them, "I did 4one deed, and you all marvel.
22 "For this reason 5Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from 6the fathers ), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23 "7If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?
24 "Do not 8judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."
25 So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?
26 "Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. 9The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?
27 "However, 10we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from."
28 Then Jesus cried out in the temple, 11teaching and saying, "12You both know Me and know where I am from; and 13I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29 "14I know Him, because 15I am from Him, and 16He sent Me."
