John 7:14-30
14 |
Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. |
15 |
And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?" |
16 |
Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. |
17 |
If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. |
18 |
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him. |
19 |
Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill Me? |
20 |
The people answered and said, "You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?" |
21 |
Jesus answered and said to them, "I did one work, and you all marvel. |
22 |
Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. |
23 |
If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? |
24 |
Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment. |
25 |
Now some of them from Jerusalem said, "Is this not He whom they seek to kill? |
26 |
But look! He speaks boldly, and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is truly the Christ? |
27 |
However, we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from. |
28 |
Then Jesus cried out, as He taught in the temple, saying, "You both know Me, and you know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. |
29 |
But I know Him, for I am from Him, and He sent Me. |
30 |
Therefore they sought to take Him; but no one laid a hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come. |
