John 7:14-31
14But when it was now the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to ateach. 15aThe Jews then were marveling, saying, “How has this man bbecome learned, not having been educated?” 16So Jesus answered them and said, “aMy teaching is not Mine, but from Him who sent Me. 17“aIf anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God or I speak from Myself. 18“He who speaks from himself aseeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19“aDid not Moses give you the Law? And yet none of you does the Law. Why do you bseek to kill Me?” 20The crowd answered, “aYou have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” 21Jesus answered them, “I did aone work, and you all marvel. 22“For this reason aMoses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from bthe fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23“aIf a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? 24“Do not ajudge according to appearance, but 1judge with righteous judgment.”
25So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill? 26“And look, He is speaking openly, and they are saying nothing to Him. aDo the rulers truly know that this is the 1Christ? 27“However, awe know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.” 28Then Jesus cried out in the temple, ateaching and saying, “bYou both know Me and know where I am from; and cI have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. 29“aI know Him, because bI am from Him, and cHe sent Me.” 30So they awere seeking to seize Him; 1yet no man laid his hand on Him, because His bhour had not yet come. 31But amany of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “bWhen the 1Christ comes, will He do more 2,csigns than this man did?”
