John 7:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

Is This the Christ?

²⁵ Now some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, ‘Is not this the man whom they are trying to kill? ²⁶ And here he is, speaking openly, but they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah?^{[a] 27} Yet we know where this man is from; but when the Messiah^[b] comes, no one will know where he is from.’
