John 7:6-24 - Jesus At The Feast Of Tabernacles

⁶ Jesus, therefore, saith to them, "My time is not yet present; but your time is always ready. ⁷ The world cannot hate you; but Me it hates, because I testify concerning it, that its works are evil. ⁸ Go ye up to the feast. I am not yet going up to this feast, because My time has not yet been fulfilled." ⁹ And, having said these things to them, He abode in Galilee.

¹⁰ But, when His brethren went up to the feast, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were in secret. ¹¹ The Jews, therefore, were seeking Him at the feast, and said, "Where is He?" ¹² And there was much murmuring about Him among the multitudes: some were saying, "He is a good Man;" others were saying, "Nay, but He is misleading the multitude." ¹³ No one, however, was speaking openly concerning Him, for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴ But, it being now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and was teaching. ¹⁵ The Jews, therefore, were marveling, saying, "How knoweth This Man letters, having never learned!"

¹⁶ Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His Who sent Me. ¹⁷ If any one wills to do His will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from Myself. ¹⁸ He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He Who seeketh the glory of Him Who sent Him the Same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him. ¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law? and not one of you does the law. Why are ye seeking to kill Me?"

²⁰ The multitude answered, "Thou hast a demon: who is seeking to kill you!"

²¹ Jesus answered, and said to them, "I did one work, and ye all marvel because of this. ²² Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers); and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. ²³ If a man receives circumcision on a sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, are ye angry with Me, because I made a whole man well on the sabbath? ²⁴ Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment."
