John 7:14-28

14But when it was nowG2235 the midstG3322 of the feastG1859 JesusG2424 wentG305 up into the templeG2413, and began to 1teachG1321. 152The JewsG2453 thenG3767 were astonishedG2296, sayingG3004, “HowG4459 has thisG3778 manG3778 3becomeG3609 learnedG3609, having neverG3361 been educatedG3129?” 16SoG3767 JesusG2424 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “4My teachingG1322 is not MineG1699, but His who sentG3992 Me. 175IfG1437 anyoneG5100 is willingG2309 to doG4160 His willG2307, he will knowG1097 of the teachingG1322, whetherG4220 it is of GodG2316 orG2228 whether I speakG2980 from MyselfG1683. 18He who speaksG2980 from himselfG1438 6seeksG2212 his ownG2398 gloryG1391; but He who is seekingG2212 the gloryG1391 of the One who sentG3992 Him, He is trueG227, and there is noG3756 unrighteousnessG93 in Him.

19“7Did not MosesG3475 giveG1325 you the LawG3551, and yet noneG3762 of you carriesG4160 out the LawG3551? WhyG5101 do you 8seekG2212 to killG615 Me?” 20The crowdG3793 answeredG611, “9You haveG2192 a demonG1140! WhoG5101 seeksG2212 to killG615 You?” 21JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “I didG4160 10oneG1520 11deedG2041, and you allG3956 marvelG2296. 22For thisG3778 reasonG1223 12MosesG3475 has givenG1325 you circumcisionG4061 (not becauseG3754 it is from MosesG3475, but from 13the fathersG3962), and on the SabbathG4521 you circumciseG4059 a manG444. 2314IfG1487 a manG444 receivesG2983 circumcisionG4061 on the SabbathG4521 soG2443 that the LawG3551 of MosesG3475 will not be brokenG3089, are you angryG5520 with Me becauseG3754 I madeG4160 an entireG3650 manG444 wellG5199 on the SabbathG4521? 24Do not 15judgeG2919 accordingG2596 to appearanceG3799, but 16judgeG2919 with righteousG1342 judgmentG2920.”

25SoG3767 someG5100 of the peopleG2415 of JerusalemG2415 were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 not the man whomG3739 they are seekingG2212 to killG615? 26LookG2396, He is speakingG2980 publiclyG3954, and they are sayingG3004 nothingG3762 to Him. 17The rulersG758 do not reallyG230 knowG1097 that thisG3778 is 18the ChristG5547, do they? 27HoweverG235, 19we knowG3609 whereG4159 thisG3778 manG3778 is from; but wheneverG3752 the ChristG5547 may comeG2064, noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 whereG4159 He is from.” 28ThenG3767 JesusG2424 criedG2896 out in the templeG2413, 20teachingG1321 and sayingG3004, “21You bothG2532 knowG3609 Me and knowG3609 whereG4159 I amG1510 from; and 22I have not comeG2064 of MyselfG1683, but He who sentG3992 Me is trueG228, whomG3739 you do not knowG3609.
