John 7:25-27

Contemporary English Version

²⁵ Some of the people from Jerusalem were saying, “Isn't this the man they want to kill? ²⁶ Yet here he is, speaking for everyone to hear. And no one is arguing with him. Do you suppose the authorities know he is the Messiah? ²⁷ But how could that be? No one knows where the Messiah will come from, but we know where this man comes from.”
