19. Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20. The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21. Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel because of it.
22. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

27. However we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

30. They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31. But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Christ comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
32. The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things concerning him, and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
33. Then Jesus said, “I will be with you a little while longer, then I go to him who sent me.
