Debate Over Jesus' Identity and Origin

25

Some of the Yerushalayim people said, “Isn’t this the man they’re out to kill?

26

Yet here he is, speaking openly; and they don’t say anything to him. It couldn’t be, could it, that the authorities have actually concluded he’s the Messiah?

27

Surely not — we know where this man comes from; but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

28

Whereupon Yeshua, continuing to teach in the Temple courts, cried out, “Indeed you do know me! And you know where I’m from! And I have not come on my own! The One who sent me is real. But him you don’t know!

29

I do know him, because I am with him, and he sent me!”

30

At this, they tried to arrest him; but no one laid a hand on him; because his time had not yet come.

31

However, many in the crowd put their trust in him and said, “When the Messiah comes, will he do more miracles than this man has done?”
