John 7:25-31

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

The rulers did not perhaps really know^[a] that this One is the Christ, did they? ²⁷ However, we know where this One is from. But when the Christ is coming, no one knows where He is from”. ²⁸ So Jesus cried-out while teaching in the temple and saying, “You both know Me and You know where I am from. And^[b] I have not come of Myself. However, the One having sent Me is true— Whom you do not know. ²⁹ I know Him, because I am from Him.
