In this YouTube short, Paul Woodley offers a brief exegetical commentary on Jesus' statement in the temple, "You know me and you know where I come from." Woodley emphasizes that the audience (the religious leaders) are aware of Jesus' earthly lineage—Mary, Joseph, and his brothers—but are ignorant of his true divine origin from God and heaven. He repeats the phrase "I have not come of my own accord" to underline that Jesus' mission is not self‑initiated but divinely appointed. The monologue juxtaposes human knowledge of Jesus' family with the hidden, heavenly source of his identity, urging listeners to recognize the deeper, supernatural aspect of Christ's presence.
