John 7:12-22

Listen to John 7:12-22
12 The crowds were murmuring about him. "He's a good man," some said, but others were saying, "No, he tricks the people."
13 No one spoke about him publicly, though, for fear of the Jewish authorities.

Jesus teaches in the temple

14 Halfway through the festival, Jesus went up to the temple and started to teach.
15 Astonished, the Jewish leaders asked, "He's never been taught! How has he mastered the Law?"
16 Jesus responded, " My teaching isn't mine but comes from the one who sent me.
17 Whoever wants to do God's will can tell whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own.
18 Those who speak on their own seek glory for themselves. Those who seek the glory of him who sent me are people of truth; there's no falsehood in them.
19 Didn't Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you keep the Law. Why do you want to kill me?"
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon. Who wants to kill you?"
21 Jesus replied, " I did one work, and you were all astonished.
22 Because Moses gave you the commandment about circumcision (although it wasn't Moses but the patriarchs), you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
