John 7:23-33 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

23. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

24. Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

25. So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

26. Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?

27. However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from."

28. Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

29. I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

30. So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

31. But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, "When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"

32. The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about Him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to seize Him.

33. Therefore Jesus said, "For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.
