6Jesus therefore said to them, 鈥淢y time has not yet come, but your time is always ready.
7The world can鈥檛 hate you, but it hates me, because I testify about it, that its works are evil.
8You go up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because my time is not yet fulfilled.鈥
9Having said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.
10But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.
11The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, 鈥淲here is he?鈥
12There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, 鈥淗e is a good man.鈥 Others said, 鈥淣ot so, but he leads the multitude astray.鈥
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for 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 marveled, saying, 鈥淗ow does this man know letters, having never been educated?鈥
16Jesus therefore answered them, 鈥淢y teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.
18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19Didn鈥檛 Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?鈥
20The multitude answered, 鈥淵ou have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?鈥
21Jesus answered them, 鈥淚 did one work and you all marvel because of it.
22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.
23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24Don鈥檛 judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.鈥
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, 鈥淚sn鈥檛 this he whom they seek to kill?
26Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Christ?
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he comes from.鈥
28Jesus therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, 鈥淵ou both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don鈥檛 know.
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.鈥
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
