19
hath not Moses given you the law? and none of you doth the law; why me do ye seek to kill?'
20
The multitude answered and said, `Thou hast a demon, who doth seek to kill thee?'
21
Jesus answered and said to them, `One work I did, and ye all wonder,
22
because of this, Moses hath given you the circumcision -- not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers -- and on a sabbath ye circumcise a man;
23
if a man doth receive circumcision on a sabbath that the law of Moses may not be broken, are ye wroth with me that I made a man all whole on a sabbath?
24
judge not according to appearance, but the righteous judgment judge.'
25
Certain, therefore, of the Jerusalemites said, `Is not this he whom they are seeking to kill?
26
and, lo, he doth speak freely, and they say nothing to him; did the rulers at all know truly that this is truly the Christ?
27
but this one -- we have known whence he is; and the Christ, when he doth come, no one doth know whence he is.'
28
Jesus cried, therefore, in the temple, teaching and saying, `Ye have both known me, and ye have known whence I am; and I have not come of myself, but He who sent me is true, whom ye have not known;
29
and I have known Him, because I am from Him, and He did send me.'
