John 7:14-24 - Teaching In The Temple

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.
