John 7:26-28
King James Version
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

New King James Version
26 But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. (A)Do the rulers know indeed that this is [a]truly the Christ? 27 (B)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28 Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, (C)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and (D)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me (E)is true, (F)whom you do not know.

John 7:26-28
English Standard Version
26 And here he is, (A)speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that (B)the authorities really know that this is the Christ? 27 But (C)we know (D)where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, (E)no one will know where he comes from.” 28 So Jesus proclaimed, (F)as he taught in the temple, (G)“You know me, and you know where I come from. But (H)I have not come of my own accord. (I)He who sent me is true, (J)and him you do not know.
