John 7:14-27

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

¹⁵The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but that of him that has sent me.

¹⁷If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself.

¹⁸He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.

¹⁹Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

²⁰The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?

²¹Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

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

²³If a man receives circumcision on sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be violated, are ye angry with me because I have made a man entirely sound on sabbath?

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

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

²⁶and behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Have the rulers then indeed recognised that this is the Christ?

²⁷But as to this man we know whence he is. Now as to the Christ, when he comes, no one knows whence he is.
