John 7:17-27

17 Anyone who resolves to do the will of God will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.
18 Those who speak on their own seek their own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing false in him.
19 "Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you looking for an opportunity to kill me?"
20 The crowd answered, "You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?"
21 Jesus answered them, "I performed one work, and all of you are astonished.
22 Moses gave you circumcision (it is, of course, not from Moses, but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the sabbath.
23 If a man receives circumcision on the sabbath in order that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I healed a man's whole body on the sabbath?
24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
25 Now some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is not this the man whom they are trying to kill?
26 And here he is, speaking openly, but they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Messiah?
27 Yet we know where this man is from; but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he is from."
