John 7:14-28

14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple area, and began to 1teach. 15 2The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this Man 3become learned, not having been educated?” 16So Jesus answered them and said, “4My teaching is not My own, but His who sent Me. 17 5If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God, or I am speaking from Myself. 18The one who speaks from himself 6seeks 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“7Did Moses not give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why are you 8seeking to kill Me?” 20The crowd answered, “9You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did 10one 11deed, and you all are astonished. 22For this reason 12Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from 13the fathers), and even on a Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 14If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry at Me because I made an entire man well on a Sabbath? 24Do not 15judge by the outward appearance, but judge 16with righteous judgment.”

25So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this Man not the one whom they are seeking to kill? 26And yet look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. 17The rulers do not really know that this is the 18Christ, do they? 27However, 19we know where this Man is from; but when the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.” 28Then Jesus cried out in the temple, 20teaching and saying, “21You both know Me and you know where I am from; and 22I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.
