7It is not possible for you to be hated by the world; but I am hated by it, because I give witness that what it does is evil.
8Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.
9Having said these things to them, he still kept in Galilee.
10But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he went up, not publicly, but in secret.
11At the feast the Jews were looking for him and saying, Where is he?
12And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.
13But no man said anything about him openly for fear of the Jews.
14Now in the middle of the feast Jesus went up to the Temple and was teaching.
15Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.
16Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.
17If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from — from God or from myself.
18The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him — that man is true and there is no evil in him.
19Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?
20The people said in answer, You have an evil spirit: who has any desire to put you to death?
21This was the answer of Jesus: I have done one work and you are all surprised at it.
22Moses gave you circumcision — not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers — and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.
23If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?
24Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.
25Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?
