John 7:4

For there is no man that doth any thing in secret, and he himself seeketh to be known openly. If thou do these things, manifest thyself to the world.

Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

Go you up to this festival day, but I go not up to this festival day: because my time is not accomplished.

John 7:16

Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

John 7:22

Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

Moses gave you circumcision not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are you angry at me because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

But we know this man, whence he is: but when the Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from."

John 7:28
