John 7:14-24

14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up ¹into the temple and began teaching.

15 The Jews therefore ²marveled, saying, "How is it that this man has learning,^[a] when he has never studied?"

16 So Jesus answered them, ³"My teaching is not mine, but his ⁴who sent me.

17 ⁵If anyone's will is to do God's^[b] will, ⁶he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I ⁷am speaking on my own authority.

18 The one who speaks on his own authority ⁸seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

19 ⁹Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. ¹⁰Why do you seek to kill me?"

20 The crowd answered, ¹¹"You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?"

21 Jesus answered them, "I did ¹²one work, and you all marvel at it.

22 ¹³Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but ¹⁴from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, ¹⁵are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well?

24 ¹⁶Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."
