John 7:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ Some of the people who lived there in Jerusalem said among themselves, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill? ²⁶ But here he is preaching in public, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that our leaders have learned, after all, that he really is the Messiah? ²⁷ But how could he be? For we know where this man was born; when Christ comes, he will just appear and no one will know where he comes from.”
