John 7:14-28

14About halfway throughG1161G2235G3322 theG3588 feastG1859, JesusG2424 went upG305 toG1519 theG3588 templeG2411 courts1 andG2532 began to teachG1321. 15TheG3588 JewsG2453 were amazedG2296 and askedG3004, “HowG4459 did thisG3778 man attainG1492 such learningG1121 withoutG3361 having studiedG3129?”

16“MyG1699 teachingG1322 isG1510 notG3756 My ownG1699,” JesusG2424 repliedG611G846G2532G2036. “It comes from Him whoG3588 sentG3992 MeG1473. 17IfG1437 anyoneG5100 desiresG2309 to doG4160 HisG846 willG2307, he will knowG1097G4012 whetherG4220 My teachingG1322 isG1510 fromG1537 GodG2316 orG2228 whether IG1473 speakG2980 onG575 My ownG1683. 18He whoG3588 speaksG2980 onG575 his ownG1438 authority seeksG2212 his ownG2398 gloryG1391, butG1161 He whoG3588 seeksG2212 theG3588 gloryG1391 of theG3588 One who sentG3992 HimG846 isG1510 a man of truthG227; inG1722 HimG846 there isG1510 noG3756 falsehoodG93. 19Has notG3756 MosesG3475 givenG1325 youG4771 theG3588 lawG3551? YetG2532 not oneG3762 ofG1537 youG4771 keepsG4160 it. WhyG5101 are you tryingG2212 to killG615 MeG1473?”

20“You haveG2192 a demonG1140,” theG3588 crowdG3793 repliedG611. “WhoG5101 is tryingG2212 to killG615 YouG4771?”

21JesusG2424 answeredG611G2532G2036 themG846, “I didG4160 oneG1520 miracleG2041, andG2532 you are all amazedG3956G2296. 22But becauseG1223G3778 MosesG3475 gaveG1325 youG4771 circumcisionG4061, you circumciseG4059 a boyG444 onG1722 the SabbathG4521 (notG3756 thatG3754 it isG1510 fromG1537 MosesG3475, butG235 fromG1537 theG3588 patriarchsG3962.) 23IfG1487 a boyG444 can be circumcisedG2983G4061 onG1722 the SabbathG4521 so thatG2443 theG3588 lawG3551 of MosesG3475 will notG3361 be brokenG3089, why are you angryG5520 with MeG1473 forG3754 makingG4160 the wholeG3650 manG444 wellG5199 onG1722 the SabbathG4521? 24StopG3361 judgingG2919 byG2596 outward appearancesG3799, and start judgingG2919 justlyG1342G2920.”

25ThenG3767 someG5100 ofG1537 theG3588 people of JerusalemG2415 began to sayG2036, “Isn’tG1510G3756 thisG3778 the man they are tryingG2212 to killG615? 26YetG2532 hereG2400 He is, speakingG2980 publiclyG3954, andG2532 they are not sayingG3004G3361 anything to HimG846. Have theG3588 rulersG758 trulyG230 recognizedG1097 thatG3754 thisG3778 isG1510 theG3588 ChristG5547? 27ButG235 we knowG1492 whereG4159 thisG3778 man is fromG1510. WhenG3752 theG3588 ChristG5547 comesG2064, no oneG3762 will knowG1097 whereG4159 He is fromG1510.”

28ThenG3767 JesusG2424, still teachingG1321 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts, cried outG2896G2532G3004, “You knowG1492 MeG2504, andG2532 you knowG1492 whereG4159 I am fromG1510. I have not comeG3756G2064 ofG575 My own accordG1683, butG235 He whoG3588 sentG3992 MeG1473 isG1510 trueG228. YouG4771 do notG3756 knowG1492 HimG3739,
