According to John, Jesus said that people know who he is and where he's from, but he wants them to understand that he was sent by someone very important—God—and that many people don't really know God. Jesus is trying to help everyone understand that he is there because God sent him to share the truth.

John 7:28: Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

Contradiction with John 8:14

It contradicts the claim in John 7:28 because Jesus states that He knows where He came from and where He is going.

John 8:14: Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, [yet] my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.

Contradiction with John 16:28

This verse contradicts John 7:28 by declaring Jesus' origin as being from the Father and His return to the Father.

Contradiction with John 14:7

John 8:42: Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me.

Contradiction with John 5:36
