New International Version (NIV) |
|
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or [whether] I speak of myself.
|
17 If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.
|
|
18 He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory; but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, is soothfast, and unrightwiseness is not in him.
|
18 He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

19 Whether Moses gave not to you a law, and none of you doeth the law [and no man of you keepeth the law]? What seek ye to slay me?
|
19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"
|
|
20 And the people answered, and said, Thou hast a devil; who seeketh to slay thee?
|
20 "You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?"
|
|
21 Jesus answered, and said to them, I have done one work, and all ye wonder.
|
21 Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished.
|
|
22 Therefore Moses gave to you circumcision; not for it is of Moses, but of the fathers; and in the sabbath ye circumcise a man.
|
22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a child on the Sabbath.
|
|
23 If a man take circumcision in the sabbath, that the law of Moses be not broken, have ye indignation to me, for I made all a man whole in the sabbath [have ye indignation, or wrath, to me, for I made all the man whole in the sabbath]?
|
23 Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath?
|
|
24 Do not ye deem after the face, but deem ye a rightful doom [but deem a rightful doom].
|
24 Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment."
|
|
25 Therefore some of Jerusalem said, Whether this is not he, whom the Jews seek to slay?
|
25 At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, "Isn't this the man they are trying to kill?
|
|
26 and lo! he speaketh openly, and they say nothing to him. Whether the princes know verily, that this is Christ?
|
26 Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Christ ?
|
|
27 But we know this man, of whence he is; but when Christ shall come, no man knoweth of whence he is.
|
27 But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
