As Jesus taught in the Temple,

he said in a loud voice,

"Do you really know me

and know where I am from?

I have not come

on my own authority.

He who sent me, however, is truthful.

You do not know him,

but I know him,

because I come from him

and he sent me."

Then they tried to seize him,

but no one laid a hand on him,

because his hour had not yet come.

But many in the crowd

believed in him and said,

"When the Messiah comes,

will he perform more miracles

than this man has?"

John 7:28-31
