John 7:10-24

English Standard Version

¹⁰ But after ^(A)his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. ^11 (B)The Jews ^(C)were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” ¹² And there was much ^(D)muttering about him among the people. ^(E)While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, ^(F)he is leading the people astray.” ¹³ Yet ^(G)for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.

¹⁴ About the middle of the feast Jesus went up ^(H)into the temple and began teaching. ¹⁵ The Jews therefore ^(I)marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,^[a] when he has never studied?” ¹⁶ So Jesus answered them, ^(J)“My teaching is not mine, but his ^(K)who sent me. ^17 (L)If anyone's will is to do God's^[b] will, ^(M)he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I ^(N)am speaking on my own authority. ¹⁸ The one who speaks on his own authority ^(O)seeks 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 (P)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. ^(Q)Why do you seek to kill me?” ²⁰ The crowd answered, ^(R)“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” ²¹ Jesus answered them, “I did ^(S)one work, and you all marvel at it. ^22 (T)Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but ^(U)from 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, ^(V)are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? ^24 (W)Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”
