007:022 Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision
(not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers),
and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child.
007:023 If a child is circumcised even on a Sabbath day, are you bitter
against me because I have restored a man to perfect health
on a Sabbath day?
007:024 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements
that are just."
007:025 Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this
the man they are wanting to kill?
007:026 But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing
to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this
man is the Christ?
007:027 And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from;
but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where
He is from."
007:028 Jesus therefore, while teaching in the Temple, cried aloud, and said, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. And yet I have not come of my own accord; but there is One who has sent me, an Authority indeed, of whom you have no knowledge.
007:029 I know Him, because I came from Him, and He sent me."
007:030 On hearing this they wanted to arrest Him; yet not a hand was laid on Him, because His time had not yet come.
007:031 But from among the crowd a large number believed in Him.
"When the Christ comes," they said, "will He perform more
miracles than this teacher has performed?"
