John 7:7-20

7The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify that its works are evil.

8You go on up to the Feast. I’m not going to this feast, because My time hasn’t yet fully come.”

9After saying these things, He stayed in the Galilee.

10But after His brothers went to the Feast, He also went, not openly but secretly.

11Then the Judean leaders were searching for Him at the Feast and kept asking, “Where is that fellow?”

12There was a lot of murmuring about Him in the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good.” But others were saying, “Not so! He leads the people astray.”

13Yet no one spoke openly about Him for fear of the Judean leaders.

14About halfway through the Feast, Yeshua went up to the Temple and began teaching.

15Then the Judean leaders were amazed, saying, “How does this man know so much, having never been taught?”

16Yeshua answered, “My teaching is not from Me, but from Him who sent Me.

17If anyone wants to do His will, he will know whether My teaching comes from God or it is Myself speaking.

18Whoever speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

19Hasn’t Moses given you the Torah? Yet none of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”

20The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who’s trying to kill you?”
