If a boy is circumcised on Shabbat so that the Torah of Moshe will not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man's whole body well on Shabbat?
24
Stop judging by surface appearances, and judge the right way!"
25
Some of the Yerushalayim people said, "Isn't this the man they're out to kill?
26
Yet here he is, speaking openly; and they don't say anything to him. It couldn't be, could it, that the authorities have actually concluded he's the Messiah?
27
Surely not -- we know where this man comes from; but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from."
28
Whereupon Yeshua, continuing to teach in the Temple courts, cried out, "Indeed you do know me! And you know where I'm from! And I have not come on my own! The One who sent me is real. But him you don't know!
29
I do know him, because I am with him, and he sent me!"
30
At this, they tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him; because his time had not yet come.
31
However, many in the crowd put their trust in him and said, "When the Messiah comes, will he do more miracles than this man has done?"
32
The P'rushim heard the crowd whispering these things about Yeshua; so the head cohanim and the P'rushim sent some of the Temple guards to arrest him.
33
Yeshua said, "I will be with you only a little while longer; then I will go away to the One who sent me.
