24 Don’t judge according to appearances. Judge with right judgment."
25 Some people from Jerusalem said, "Isn’t he the one they want to kill?
26 Here he is, speaking in public, yet they aren’t saying anything to him. Could it be that our leaders actually think he is the Christ?
27 We know where he is from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
28 While Jesus was teaching in the temple, he exclaimed, "You know me and where I am from. I haven’t come on my own. The one who sent me is true, and you don’t know him.
29 I know him because I am from him and he sent me."
30 So they wanted to seize Jesus, but they couldn’t because his time hadn’t yet come.
