John 7:27 in Context — John 7

25 Quelques habitants de Jérusalem disaient: N’est-ce pas là celui qu’ils cherchent à faire mourir?

26 Et voici, il parle librement, et ils ne lui disent rien! Est-ce que vraiment les chefs auraient reconnu qu’il est le Christ?

27 Cependant celui-ci, nous savons d’où il est; mais le Christ, quand il viendra, personne ne saura d’où il est.

28 Et Jésus, enseignant dans le temple, s’écria: Vous me connaissez, et vous savez d’où je suis! Je ne suis pas venude moi-même:mais celui qui m’a envoyé est vrai, et vous ne le connaissez pas.

29 Moi, je le connais; car je viens de lui, et c’est lui qui m’a envoyé.
