John 7:14-28
14But when it was nowG2235 the middleG3322 of the feastG1859, JesusG2424 wentG305 upG305 into the templeG2413 area, and began to 1teachG1321. 152The JewsG2453 thenG3767 wereG2296 astonishedG2296, sayingG3004, “HowG4459 has thisG3778 ManG3778 3becomeG3609 learnedG3609G1121, not having been educatedG3129?” 16SoG3767 JesusG2424 answeredG611 them and saidG3004, “4My teachingG1322 is not My ownG1699, but His who sentG3992 Me. 175IfG1437 anyoneG5100 is willingG2309 to doG4160 His willG2307, he will knowG1097 aboutG4012 the teachingG1322, whetherG4220 it is of GodG2316, orG2228 I am speakingG2980 from MyselfG1683. 18The one 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 MosesG3475 not giveG1325 you the LawG3551, and yet noneG3762 of you carriesG4160 outG4160 the LawG3551? WhyG5101 are you 8seekingG2212 to killG615 Me?” 20The crowdG3793 answeredG611, “9You haveG2192 a demonG1140! WhoG5101 is seekingG2212 to killG615 You?” 21JesusG2424 answeredG611 them, “I didG4160 10oneG1520 11deedG2041, and you allG3956 areG2296 astonishedG2296. 22For thisG3778 reasonG1223 12MosesG3475 has givenG1325 you circumcisionG4061 (not that it is from MosesG3475, but from 13the fathersG3962), and even on a SabbathG4521 you circumciseG4059 a manG444. 2314IfG1487 a manG444 receivesG2983 circumcisionG4061 on a SabbathG4521 soG2443 thatG2443 the LawG3551 of MosesG3475 will not be brokenG3089, are you angryG5520 at Me becauseG3754 I madeG4160 an entireG3650 manG444 wellG5199 on a SabbathG4521? 24Do not 15judgeG2919 by the outwardG3799 appearanceG3799, but judgeG2919 16with righteousG1342 judgmentG2920.”
25SoG3767 someG5100 of the peopleG2415 ofG2415 JerusalemG2415 were sayingG3004, “Is thisG3778 ManG3778 not the one whomG3739 they are seekingG2212 to killG615? 26And yet lookG2396, He is speakingG2980 publiclyG3954, and they are sayingG3004 nothingG3762 to Him. 17The rulersG758 do not reallyG230 knowG1097 that thisG3778 is the 18ChristG5547, do they? 27HoweverG235, 19we knowG3609 whereG4159 thisG3778 ManG3778 is from; but whenG3752 the ChristG5547 comesG2064, noG3762 oneG3762 knowsG1097 whereG4159 He is from.” 28ThenG3767 JesusG2424 criedG2896 outG2896 in the templeG2413, 20teachingG1321 and sayingG3004, “21You bothG2532 knowG3609 Me and you knowG3609 whereG4159 I amG1510 from; and 22I have not comeG2064 of MyselfG1683, but He who sentG3992 Me is trueG228, whomG3739 you do not knowG3609.
