John 7:9-23

9Having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.

10But when His 1brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret. 112So the Jews 3were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, “Where is He?” 12There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; 4some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray.” 13Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for 5fear of the Jews.

14But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to 6teach. 157The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man 8become learned, having never been educated?” 16So Jesus answered them and said, “9My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 1710If 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 11seeks 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“12Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you 13seek to kill Me?” 20The crowd answered, “14You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did 15one 16deed, and you all marvel. 22For this reason 17Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from 18the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 2319If 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?
