John 7:25-31

New King James Version

Could This Be the Christ?

²⁵ Now some of them from Jerusalem said, “Is this not He whom they seek to ^(A)kill? ²⁶ But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. ^(B)Do the rulers know indeed that this is ^[a]truly the Christ? ^27 (C)However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.”

²⁸ Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, ^(D)“You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and ^(E)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me ^(F)is true, ^(G)whom you do not know. ^29 [b]But ^(H)I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me.”

³⁰ Therefore ^(I)they sought to take Him; but ^(J)no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. ³¹ And ^(K)many of the people believed in Him, and said, “When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?”
