John 7:14-24 - Teaching In The Temple

¹⁴ Now in the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. ¹⁵ And the Jews were astonished, and said: How has this man a knowledge of letters, having never been taught?

¹⁶ Then Jesus answered and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. ¹⁷ If any one will do his will, he shall know with respect to the teaching, whether it is of God, or I speak of myself. ¹⁸ He who speaks of himself, seeks his own glory; he who seeks the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. ¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law? and not one of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?

²⁰ The multitude answered and said: You have a demon: who seeks to kill you?

²¹ Jesus answered and said to them: I have done one work, and you are all astonished on account of this. ²² Moses gave you circumcision, (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers,) and you circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. ²³ If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I have restored the entire man to health on the sabbath-day? ²⁴ Judge not according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
