5For not even His brothers were believing into Him.
6So Jesus says to them: “My time is not here yet, but your time is always available.
7The world cannot hate you, but does hate me, because I testify about it that its works are malignant.
8You guys go up to this feast; I am not going up yet to this feast, because my time has not yet fully come.”
9So upon saying these things to them He stayed on in Galilee.
10Now when His brothers had gone up to the feast, then He too went up, not openly but in secret like.
11So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
12And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”
13However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.
15And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”
16So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.
17If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
18Someone who speaks on his own is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19“Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”
20The crowd answered and said, “You must have a demon! Who wants to kill you?”
21Jesus answered and said to them: “I did one work, and you all marvel.
22Consider this: Moses gave you circumcision (not that it comes from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Law of Moses won't be broken, are you angry at me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
24Stop judging on the basis of appearances, but judge the righteous judgment.”
25Now some of the Jerusalemites were saying: “Isn't this the man they are wanting to kill?
