16Jesus answered, “My teaching is not from me but from the one who sent me.
17Anyone who chooses to follow what God wants will know if my teaching comes from God or if I'm only speaking for myself.
18Those who speak for themselves want to glorify themselves, but someone who glorifies the one who sent him is truthful and not deceitful.
19Moses gave you the law, didn't he? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why are you trying to kill me?”
20“You're demon-possessed!” the crowd replied. “No one's trying to kill you!”
21“I did one miracle and you're all shocked by it,” Jesus replied.
22“However, because Moses told you to circumcise—not that it really came from Moses, but from your forefathers before him—you perform circumcision on the Sabbath.
23If you circumcise on the Sabbath to make sure that the law of Moses isn't broken, why are you angry with me for healing someone on the Sabbath?
24Don't judge by appearances; decide what is right!”
25Then some of those from Jerusalem began wondering, “Isn't this the one they're trying to kill?
26But see how openly he's speaking, and they're saying nothing to him. Do you think the authorities believe he's the Messiah?
27But that's not possible because we know where he comes from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where he's from.”
28While he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus called out in a loud voice, “So you think you know me and where I'm from? However, I did not come for my own sake. The one who sent me is true. You don't know him,
29but I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
