29. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30. They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
31. But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
