22. Now Moses established circumcision among you–though it did not originate with Moses but with the previous patriarchs–and you circumcise a person [even] on the Sabbath day.
23. If, to avoid breaking the Law of Moses, a person undergoes circumcision on the Sabbath day, have you any cause to be angry with (indignant with, bitter against) Me for making a man's whole body well on the Sabbath?
24. Be honest in your judgment and do not decide at a glance (superficially and by appearances); but judge fairly and righteously.
25. Then some of the Jerusalem people said, Is not this the Man they seek to kill?
26. And here He is speaking openly, and they say nothing to Him! Can it be possible that the rulers have discovered and know that this is truly the Christ?
27. No, we know where this Man comes from; when the Christ arrives, no one is to know from what place He comes.
28. Whereupon Jesus called out as He taught in the temple [porches], Do you know Me, and do you know where I am from? I have not come on My own authority and of My own accord and as self-appointed, but the One Who sent Me is true (real, genuine, steadfast); and Him you do not know!
29. I know Him [Myself] because I come from His [very] presence, and it was He [personally] Who sent Me.
30. Therefore they were eager to arrest Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, for His hour (time) had not yet come.
31. And besides, many of the multitude believed in Him [adhered to Him, trusted in Him, relied on Him]. And they kept saying, When the Christ comes, will He do [can He be expected to do] more miracles and produce more proofs and signs than what this Man has done?
32. The Pharisees learned how the people were saying these things about Him under their breath; and the chief priests and Pharisees sent attendants (guards) to arrest Him.
33. Therefore Jesus said, For a little while I am [still] with you, and then I go back to Him Who sent Me.
