10 But when His (A)brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as in secret. 11 (B)So the Jews (C)were seeking Him at the feast and saying, “Where is He?” 12 And there was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; (D)some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He leads the crowd astray.” 13 Yet no one was speaking openly about Him for (E)fear of the Jews.

14 But when it was now the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to (F)teach. 15 (G)The Jews then were marveling, saying, “How has this man (H)become learned, not having been educated?” 16 So Jesus answered them and said, (I)My teaching is not Mine, but from Him who sent Me. 17 (J)If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is of God or I speak from Myself. 18 He who speaks from himself (K)seeks 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 (L)Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet none of you does the Law. Why do you (M)seek to kill Me?” 20 The crowd answered, “(N)You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did (O)one work, and you all marvel. 22 For this reason (P)Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from (Q)the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 (R)If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not (S)judge according to appearance, but [a]judge with righteous judgment.”

10 But when His brothers had gone up, then He also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret. 11 Then (A)the Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?” 12 And (B)there was much complaining among the people concerning Him. (C)Some said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.” 13 However, no one spoke openly of Him (D)for fear of the Jews.

14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and (E)taught. 15 (F)And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”

16 [a]Jesus answered them and said, (G)“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. 17 (H)If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. 18 (I)He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who (J)seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and (K)no unrighteousness is in Him. 19 (L)Did not Moses give you the law, yet none of you keeps the law? (M)Why do you seek to kill Me?”

20 The people answered and said, (N)“You have a demon. Who is seeking to kill You?”

21 Jesus answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel. 22 (O)Moses therefore gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, (P)but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the law of Moses should not be broken, are you angry with Me because (Q)I made a man completely well on the Sabbath? 24 (R)Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
