John 7:11-21

11 ¹So the Jews ²were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"

12 There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; ³some were saying, "He is a good man "; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray."

13 Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for ⁴fear of the Jews.

14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to ⁵teach.

15 ⁶The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man ⁷become learned, having never been educated?"

16 So Jesus answered them and said, "⁸My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

17 "⁹If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

18 "He who speaks from himself ¹⁰seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

19 "¹¹Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you ¹²seek to kill Me?"

20 The crowd answered, "¹³You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?"

21 Jesus answered them, "I did ¹⁴one deed, and you all marvel.
