t when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth
whence he is. (28)Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the
temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I
came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
(29)But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
(30)Then they sought to apprehend him: but no man laid hands on him,
because his hour was not yet come. (31)But many of the multitude
believed on him, and said, When the Messiah cometh, will he do greater
miracles than those which this man doth? (32)The Pharisees heard the
people muttering these things respecting him; and the Pharisees and
chief priests sent officers to apprehend him. (33)Then said Jesus unto
