But now at the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught. And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man the scriptures, not being a scholar? Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. read more.
If any man will do his will, he shall know respecting the doctrine, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. He that speaketh from himself, seeks his own individual honour: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and iniquity in him there is none. Hath not Moses given you the law, yet none of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me? The multitude answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who is seeking to kill thee? Jesus answered and said unto them, I have performed one work, and ye all marvel. Because Moses ordered you circumcision; (not that it comes from Moses, but from our ancestors;) so ye circumcise a man on the sabbath-day. If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath-day, that the law of Moses should not be violated; are ye incensed against me, because I have made a man whole on the sabbath-day? Judge not by appearance, but judge righteous judgment. Then said some of the people of Jerusalem, is not this the man whom they are seeking to kill? And, lo! he speaketh openly, and they say not a word to him. Do the rulers certainly know that this man is really the Messiah? But we know this man whence he is: but when the Messiah cometh, no man knoweth whence he is. Then spake Jesus aloud as he was teaching in the temple, and said, Ye both know me, and ye know from whence I am: and I came not of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.

And Jesus was walking in the temple, in Solomon's portico. Then the Jews came about him, and said to him, How long dost thou keep our soul in suspense? If thou art the Messiah, tell us plainly.

But ye believe not, for ye are not of my sheep, as I told you. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them everlasting life and they shall never perish to eternity, and no person shall pluck them out of my hand. My Father, who gave them to me, is greater than all and no one shall pluck them out of my Father's hand. I and my Father are one. Then the Jews again brought stones, in order to stone him. Jesus said unto them, Many good works have I shewed you from my Father; for which work of these are ye going to stone me? The Jews answered him, For a good work we do not stone thee; but for blasphemy; and that thou, being merely a man, makest thyself God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, "I said ye are gods?" If he called those gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; do ye say of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest because I said, I am the Son of God? If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.
