Commentary on John 7:27
Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. The crowd's objection: they know Jesus's origins (Nazareth, Mary and Joseph), but expected Messiah's origins to be mysterious. This reflects rabbinic speculation that Messiah would appear suddenly without traceable origin (based on Malachi 3:1, Daniel 7:13). They misunderstand—they know Jesus's earthly origins but not His heavenly origin. Jesus is from Nazareth geographically but from the Father eternally.
