John 7:26-28

Living Bible

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.”

²⁸ So Jesus, in a sermon in the Temple, called out, “Yes, you know me and where I was born and raised, but I am the representative of one you don’t know, and he is Truth.
