John 7:19-25

English Standard Version

^19 (A)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. ^(B)Why do you seek to kill me?” ²⁰ The crowd answered, ^(C)“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” ²¹ Jesus answered them, “I did ^(D)one work, and you all marvel at it. ^22 (E)Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but ^(F)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, ^(G)are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? ^24 (H)Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”

²⁵ Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom ^(I)they seek to kill?
