John 7:25-31

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁵ Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “Isn’t this the man they want to kill? ²⁶ Yet, look! He’s speaking openly, and they don’t say a thing to him. Certainly the rulers have not concluded that he is the Christ, have they? ²⁷ But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.”

²⁸ Then Jesus called out as he was teaching in the temple courts, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. Yet I have not come on my own, but the one who sent me is real. You do not know him. ²⁹ I know him because I am from him, and he sent me.”

³⁰ So they tried to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.

³¹ But many in the crowd believed in him and asked, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more miraculous signs than this man, will he?”
