John 7:3-24

³His brethren therefore said to him, Remove hence and go into Judaea, that thy disciples also may see thy works which thou doest;

⁴for no one does anything in secret and himself seeks to be known in public. If thou doest these things, manifest thyself to the world:

⁵for neither did his brethren believe on him.

⁶Jesus therefore says to them, My time is not yet come, but your time is always ready.

⁷The world cannot hate you, but me it hates, because I bear witness concerning it that its works are evil.

⁸Ye, go ye up to this feast. I go not up to this feast, for my time is not yet fulfilled.

⁹Having said these things to them he abode in Galilee.

¹⁰But when his brethren had gone up, then he himself also went up to the feast, not openly, but as in secret.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

¹²And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.

¹³However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of their fear of the Jews.

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.
