John 7:14–24

¹⁴About the middle of the feast Jesus went up ^hinto the temple and began teaching. ¹⁵The Jews therefore ⁱmarveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,⁴ when he has never studied?” ¹⁶So Jesus answered them, ^j“My teaching is not mine, but his ^kwho sent me. ^17lIf anyone’s will is to do God’s⁵ will, ^mhe will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I ⁿam speaking on my own authority. ¹⁸The one who speaks on his own authority ^oseeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. ^19pHas not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. ^qWhy do you seek to kill me?” ²⁰The crowd answered, ^r“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” ²¹Jesus answered them, “I did ^sone work, and you all marvel at it. ^22tMoses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but ^ufrom the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. ²³If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, ^vare you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well? ^24wDo not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
