Ye know whence I am / John 7:25-35

John 7:25-35

In this passage, the Jews in Jerusalem are outraged by the perceived inaction of their religious leaders. Many among the crowd are eager to see Jesus arrested and even killed, disturbed by His "unorthodox" teachings and miraculous works—particularly one performed on the Sabbath. They challenge His identity by questioning His origins, insisting that someone from His background could not possibly be the Messiah. Yet, Jesus’ interaction with them reveals how He resists temptation and pride, offering us a deeper understanding of what it means to be rooted not in earthly identity, but in a heavenly calling.
