John 7:12-25

¹²And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

¹³Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

¹⁵The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

¹⁸He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

²⁰The multitude answered, Thou hast a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

²¹Jesus answered and said unto them, I did one work, and ye all marvel because thereof.

²²Moses hath given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man.

²³If a man receiveth circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye wroth with me, because I made a man every whit whole on the sabbath?

²⁴Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

²⁵Some therefore of them of Jerusalem said, Is not this he whom they seek to kill?
