7:25 Then some of the residents of Jerusalem ¹  began to say, “Isn’t this the man ²  they are trying ³  to kill? 7:26 Yet here he is, speaking publicly, ⁴  and they are saying nothing to him. ⁵  Do the rulers really know that this man ⁶  is the Christ? ⁷  7:27 But we know where this man ⁸  comes from. ⁹  Whenever the Christ ¹⁰  comes, no one will know where he comes from.” ¹¹ 

7:28 Then Jesus, while teaching in the temple courts, ¹²  cried out, ¹³  “You both know me and know where I come from! ¹⁴  And I have not come on my own initiative, ¹⁵  but the one who sent me ¹⁶  is true. You do not know him, ¹⁷  7:29 but ¹⁸  I know him, because I have come from him ¹⁹  and he ²⁰  sent me.”

7:30 So then they tried to seize Jesus, ²¹  but no one laid a hand on him, because his time ²²  had not yet come. 7:31 Yet many of the crowd ²³  believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ ²⁴  comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?” ²⁵
