But we know where this man is from This phrase reflects the skepticism and misunderstanding of the people regarding Jesus' identity. The Greek word for "know" is "οἴδαμεν" (oidamen), which implies a confident assertion based on observation or tradition. The people believed they understood Jesus' earthly origins, as He was known to be from Nazareth in Galilee. This reflects a common theme in the Gospels where Jesus' divine nature and mission are often misunderstood or overlooked due to His humble human origins.
