John 7:14–24

¹⁴When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple complex ^land began to teach. ¹⁵Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, ^msince He hasn’t been trained?”

¹⁶Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me. ⁿ¹⁷If anyone wants to do His will, ^ohe will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own. ¹⁸The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory. ^pBut He who seeks the glory ^qof the One who sent Him is true, ^rand there is no unrighteousness in Him. ^s19Didn’t Moses ^tgive you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law! ^uWhy do you want to kill Me?”

²⁰“You have a demon!” the crowd responded. “Who wants to kill You?”

²¹“I did one work, ^vand you are all amazed,” Jesus answered. ²²“Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision ^w—not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers ^x—and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. ^y23If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath ^zso that the law of Moses ^awon’t be broken, are you angry at Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath? ²⁴Stop judging ^baccording to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgment.”
