Didn't Moses give you his teachings? Yet, none of you does what Moses taught you. So why do you want to kill me?"
20
The crowd answered, "You're possessed by a demon! Who wants to kill you?"
21
Jesus answered them, "I performed one miracle, and all of you are surprised by it.
22
Moses gave you the teaching about circumcision (although it didn't come from Moses but from our ancestors). So you circumcise a male on a day of worship.
23
If you circumcise a male on the day of worship to follow Moses' Teachings, why are you angry with me because I made a man entirely well on the day of worship?
24
Stop judging by outward appearance! Instead, judge correctly."
25
Some of the people who lived in Jerusalem said, "Isn't this the man they want to kill?
26
But look at this! He's speaking in public, and no one is saying anything to him! Can it be that the rulers really know that this man is the Messiah?
27
However, we know where this man comes from. When the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."
28
Then, while Jesus was teaching in the temple courtyard, he said loudly, "You know me, and you know where I come from. I didn't decide to come on my own. The one who sent me is true. He's the one you don't know.
29
I know him because I am from him and he sent me."
