John 7:28-30

Expanded Bible

²⁸ Jesus, teaching in the Temple [courts; 2:14], cried out, “Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. But I have not come ·by my own authority [on my own initiative; ^Lfrom myself]. I was sent by the One who is true, whom you don’t know. ²⁹ But I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

³⁰ When Jesus said this, they tried to ·seize [arrest] him. But no one was able to ·touch him [^Llay a hand on him], because ·it was not yet the right time [^Lhis hour had not yet come; see 2:4].
