John 7:25-30

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. ¹The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

27 "However, ²we 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, ³teaching and saying, "⁴You both know Me and know where I am from; and ⁵I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

29 "⁶I know Him, because ⁷I am from Him, and ⁸He sent Me."

30 So they ⁹were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His ¹⁰hour had not yet come.
