21
Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel at it.
22
Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man upon the sabbath.
23
If 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?
24
Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
25
Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, "Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?
26
And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?
27
Yet we know where this man comes from; and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from."
28
So 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.
29
I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me."
30
So they sought to arrest him; but no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31
Yet many of the people believed in him; they said, "When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?"
