“Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.””— John 7:24 (LSV)
21Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all wonder,
22because of this, Moses has given you the circumcision—not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers—and on a Sabbath you circumcise a man;
23if a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath that the Law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with Me that I made a man all whole on a Sabbath?
24Do not judge according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.”
25Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, “Is this not He whom they are seeking to kill?
26And behold, He speaks freely, and they say nothing to Him; did the rulers truly know that this is the Christ?
27But this One—we have known where He is from; and the Christ, when He comes, no one knows where He is from.”
