Read in context

John 7:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 Then some of the people of Jerusalem began to say, “Isn’t this the man they are trying to kill?

26 Yet here He is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying anything to Him. Have the rulers truly recognized that this is the Christ?

27 But we know where this man is from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where He is from.”

28 Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, “You know Me, and you know where I am from. I have not come of My own accord, but He who sent Me is true. You do not know Him,

29 but I know Him, because I am from Him and He sent Me.”
