John 7:15-24

15 1The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man 2become learned, having never been educated?” 16So Jesus answered them and said, “3My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 4If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself. 18He who speaks from himself 5seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

19“6Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you 7seek to kill Me?” 20The crowd answered, “8You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did 9one 10deed, and you all marvel. 22For this reason 11Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from 12the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 13If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? 24Do not 14judge according to appearance, but 15judge with righteous judgment.”
