John 7:10-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
Jesus at the Festival of Booths
10 But after his brothers had gone to the festival, then he also went, not publicly but, as it were,[a] in secret. 11 The Jews were looking for him at the festival and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was considerable complaining about him among the crowds. While some were saying, “He is a good man,” others were saying, “No, he is deceiving the crowd.”(A) 13 Yet no one would speak openly about him for fear of the Jews.(B)
14 About the middle of the festival Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach. 15 The Jews were astonished at it, saying, “How does this man have such learning, when he has never been taught?”(C) 16 Then Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine but his who sent me.(D) 17 Anyone who resolves to do the will of God will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.(E) 18 Those who speak on their own seek their own glory, but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and there is nothing unjust in him.(F)
19 “Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you looking for an opportunity to kill me?”(G) 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is trying to kill you?”(H) 21 Jesus answered them, “I performed one work, and all of you are astonished. 22 Because of this Moses gave you circumcision (it is, of course, not from Moses but from the patriarchs), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.(I) 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath in order that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I healed a man’s whole body on the Sabbath?(J) 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.”(K)

John 7:10-24
New American Standard Bible
10 But when His (A)brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as though in secret. 11 (B)So the Jews (C)were looking for Him at the feast and saying, “Where is He?” 12 And there was a great deal of talk about Him in secret among the crowds: (D)some were saying, “He is a good man”; others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He is misleading the people.” 13 However, no one was speaking openly about Him, for (E)fear of [a]the Jews.
14 But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple area, and began to (F)teach. 15 (G)The Jews then were astonished, saying, “How has this man (H)become learned, not having been educated?” 16 So Jesus answered them and said, “(I)My teaching is not My own, but His 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 am speaking from Myself. 18 The one 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 Moses not give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why are you (M)seeking to kill Me?” 20 The crowd answered, “(N)You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill You?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did (O)one [b]deed, and you all are astonished. 22 For this reason (P)Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from (Q)the fathers), and even on a Sabbath you circumcise a man. 23 (R)If a man receives circumcision on a Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry at Me because I made an entire man well on a Sabbath? 24 Do not (S)judge by the outward appearance, but judge [c]with righteous judgment.”
