John9:29
29 VVe know that God spake unto Moses, as for this fellow we know not whence he is .
Concerning Moses indeed they speak honourably, and say, They knew God spake to him; yet did they know it no otherwise than by Tradition, and the Revelation of the Will of God in the Law, and the Prophets. For Christ, they call him [non-Latin text not transcribed] this fellow; and say, They know not whence he was; that is, They know of no Divine Authority that he had; they were blinded through malice, and prejudice; indeed they did know whence he was as to his Human Nature, for they often made that the cause of their stumbling at him, That he was of Galilee, That his Father was a Carpenter, and his Mother called Mary. But they knew of no Divine Mission, or Authority that he had; this they might have known also, for he did those things which no man ever did, nor could be affected by any thing less than a Divine Power; but their Eyes were blinded, and their Hearts were judicially hardned; they studied to shut out the Light by which they should have seen, and would not know whence he was.
