21. יהושע answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.
22. “Because of this Mosheh has given you the circumcision – though it is not from Mosheh, but from the fathers – and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23. “If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Torah of Mosheh should not be broken, are you wroth with Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?
24. “Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
25. Therefore some of them from Yerushalayim said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
26. “And see! He speaks boldly, and they say none at all to Him. Could it be that the rulers truly know that this is truly the Messiah?
27. “But we know where this One is from. And when the Messiah comes, no one knows where He is from.”
28. יהושע therefore cried out in the Set-apart Place, teaching and saying, “You both know Me, and you know where I am from. And I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
29. “But I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me.”
30. So they were seeking to seize Him, but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.
31. And many of the crowd believed in Him, and said, “When the Messiah comes, shall He do more signs than these which this One did?”
32. The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these matters concerning Him, and the Pharisees and the chief priests sent officers to seize Him.
33. Therefore יהושע said to them, “Yet a little while I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.
34. “You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come.”
35. The Yehuḏim, therefore, said to themselves, “Where is He about to go that we shall not find Him? Is He about to go to the Dispersion among the Greeks, and to teach the Greeks?
36. “What is this word which He said, ‘You shall seek Me and you shall not find Me, and where I am you are unable to come’?”
