John 7:14-28

14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

15The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this [man] letters, having never learned?

16Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but [that] of him that has sent me.

17If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of 1God, or [that] I speak from myself.

18He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.

19Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

20The crowd answered [and said], Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?

21Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

22Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.

23If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?

24Judge not according to sight, but judge righteous judgment.

25Some therefore of those of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?

26and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

27But [as to] this [man] we know whence he is. Now [as to] the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.

28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and 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 do not know.
