John 7:31

Yet many of the crowd ¹  believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ ²  comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?” ³ 

Still, many in the crowd put their faith in him. They said, "When the Christ comes, will he do more miraculous signs than this man?"

But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, "When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"

Many among the crowds at the Temple believed in him. "After all," they said, "would you expect the Messiah to do more miraculous signs than this man has done?"

Many from the crowd committed themselves in faith to him, saying, "Will the Messiah, when he comes, provide better or more convincing evidence than this?"

And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

Yet many in the crowd believed in him and were saying, "When the Messiah comes, will he do more signs than this man has done?"

And many of the people believed in Him, and said, "When the Christ comes, will He do more signs than these which this Man has done?"

Yet many of the crowd ¹  believed in him and said, “Whenever the Christ ²  comes, he won’t perform more miraculous signs than this man did, will he?” ³
