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

6 Then saith Jesus unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is always alike ready; for the world cannot hate you: 7 but me it hates, because I bear my testimony concerning it, that it's deeds are evil. 8 Go ye up to this feast as soon as ye please; for I am not yet going up to it, because my time is not yet fully come. 9 And after He had said these things unto them, He stayed a while in Galilee.

10 But when his brethren were gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not in a public manner but as it were in private. 11 The Jews therefore sought for Him at the feast, and said, Where is He? 12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning Him: for some said, He is a good man; others said, No: He deceiveth the people. 13 No one however spake openly in favor of Him, for fear of the Jews.

14 But when it was now about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, who never learnt?

16 Jesus answered them and said, The doctrine that I teach is not mine, but his that sent me. 17 If any man desire to do his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself. 18 He, that speaketh from himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of Him that sent him is true, and there is no imposture in him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you observeth the law? wherefore else do ye seek to kill me?

20 The people answered and said, Thou art possessed by a demon: who seeketh to kill thee?

21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I performed one miracle on the sabbath, and ye are all amazed at it. 22 Now Moses gave you the law of circumcision, (not that it is originally from Moses, but from the patriarchs,) and ye circumcise even on the sabbath: 23 if then a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken; are ye angry with me, because I made a man perfectly well on the sabbath-day? 24 Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.
