10However, a few days after his younger brothers left to go up to the celebration, he went also. He went, along with us disciples, but no others went with us.
11At the celebration, the Jewish leaders were looking for him. They were asking people, “Has Jesus come?”
12Among the crowds, many people were whispering about Jesus. Some were saying, “He is a good man!” But others were saying instead, “No! He is deceiving the crowds!”
13But no one was speaking so that others could hear them, because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders SYN.
14In the middle of the days of the celebration, Jesus went to the Temple courtyard and began to teach people.
15The Jewish elders were amazed at what he was saying. They said, “This man never studied in one of our religious schools! So ◄how can he have learned so much about Scripture?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned so much about Scripture!► RHQ”
16Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from God, the one who sent me.
17Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with only my own authority.
18Those who speak with only their own authority do that only so that others will honor them. But I am doing things so that others will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.
19Think about the laws that Moses gave you RHQ. None of you completely obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, saying I do not obey the laws concerning ◄ the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest►?”
20Someone in the crowd answered, “ By saying this you show that you are crazy (OR, A demon is controlling you)! Certainly no one is trying to kill you!”
