11The Judeans therefore sought him at the feast, and said, “Where is he?”
12There was much murmuring amongst the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”
13Yet no one spoke openly of him for fear of the Judeans.
14But when it was now the middle of the feast, Yeshua went up into the temple and taught.
15The Judeans therefore marvelled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”
16Yeshua therefore answered them, “My 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’t Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keeps the Torah? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”
21Yeshua answered them, “I 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 Torah of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?
24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”
25Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t 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 Messiah?
27However, we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”
28Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You 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’t know.
29I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”
30They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
