25 After this, some of the locals from Yerushalem started asking, “Isn’t this the man they were wanting to execute? 26 Well, here he is teaching in public, yet they’re not even confronting him. Perhaps the leaders know that he really is the messiah? 27 But we even know where this man is from. Surely when the messiah comes, no one would know his family background.”

28 So as Yeshua continued teaching, he called out, “Indeed you all know me and my home and my family. But I didn’t come here of my own accord, but the one who sent me here is truthful, even though you don’t even know him. 29 I know him, because I came from him, indeed, he was the one who sent me here.”

30 So now they really want to arrest him, but no one touched him because it was not yet the proper time. 31 Many in the crowd did believe that he was from God and they were saying, “When the messiah comes, would he be doing greater miracles than what we’ve seen this man do?”
