John 7:23-27 American Standard Version (ASV)

23. If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?

24. Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

25. Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

26. And lo, he speaketh openly, and they say nothing unto him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is the Christ?

27. Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no one knoweth whence he is.
