John 7:23-33

23 "1If 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 2judge 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. 3The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?
27 "However, 4we 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, 5teaching and saying, "6You both know Me and know where I am from; and 7I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29 "8I know Him, because 9I am from Him, and 10He sent Me."
30 So they 11were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His 12hour had not yet come.
31 But 13many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, "14When the Christ comes, He will not perform more 15signs than those which this man has, will He?"
32 The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent 16officers to 17seize Him.
33 Therefore Jesus said, "18For a little while longer I am with you, then 19I go to Him who sent Me.
