John 7:6-24 - Jesus At The Feast Of Tabernacles
6 Then Jesus replied: My time is not yet here but your time is always ready. 7 The world has no reason to hate you. But it hates me because I testify that its works are evil. 8 You go to this feast. I will not go to this feast for my time has not yet come. 9 When he said these words to them he stayed in Galilee.
10 When his brothers left he secretly went to the feast. 11 The Jews looked for him at the feast and they said: Where is he? 12 There was much whispering among the people concerning him. Some said: He is a good man. Others said: No, he deceives the people. 13 However no man spoke openly about him out of fear of the Jews.
14 Midway through the feast Jesus went to the temple and taught. 15 The Jews wondered saying: How does this man know letters? He has had no formal education.
16 Jesus replied: My teaching is not my own. It is his who sent me. 17 If any man does his will he shall know the teachings. He will know if it is from God, or whether I speak from myself. 18 He who speaks from his own authority seeks his own glory. He who seeks glory for the one who sent him is true. Unrighteousness is not found in him. 19 Did Moses give you the law? Yet none of you obey the law! Why do you seek to kill me?
20 The crowd answered: You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?
21 Jesus responded: I did one work and you all marveled because of it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision. Not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers. And you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 A man receives circumcision on the Sabbath. That way the Law of Moses may not be broken. Are you angry with me, because I made an entire man whole on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance! Judge a righteous judgment.
