John 7:14-27

¹⁴In the middes of the feast Iesus went vp into the temple and taught.

¹⁵And the Iewes marveylled sayinge: How knoweth he the scriptures seynge that he never learned?

¹⁶Iesus answered them and sayde: My doctrine is not myne: but his that sent me.

¹⁷If eny man will do his will he shall knowe of the doctrine whether it be of God or whether I speake of my selfe.

¹⁸He that speaketh of him selfe seketh his awne prayse. But he that seketh his prayse that sent him the same is true and no vnrightewesnes is in him.

¹⁹Dyd not Moses geve you a lawe and yet none of you kepeth the lawe? Why goo ye aboute to kyll me?

²⁰The people answered and sayde: thou hast the devyll: who goeth aboute to kyll the?

²¹Iesus answered and sayde to them: I have done one worke and ye all marvayle.

²²Moses therfore gave vnto you circumcision: not because it is of Moses but of the fathers. And yet ye on the Saboth daye circumcise a man.

²³If a man on the Saboth daye receave circumcision without breakinge of the lawe of Moses: disdayne ye at me because I have made a man every whit whoale on the saboth daye?

²⁴Iudge not after the vtter aperaunce: but iudge rightewes iudgement.

²⁵Then sayd some of them of Ierusalem: Is not this he who they goo aboute to kyll?

²⁶Beholde he speaketh boldly and they saye nothinge to him. Do the rulars knowe in dede that this is very Christ?

²⁷How be it we knowe this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh no man shall knowe whence he is.
