John 7:14-31

Legacy Standard Bible

¹⁴ But when it was now the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to ^(A)teach. ^15 (B)The Jews then were marveling, saying, “How has this man ^(C)become learned, not having been educated?” ¹⁶ So Jesus answered them and said, “^(D)My teaching is not Mine, but from Him who sent Me. ^17 (E)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 ^(F)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 “^(G)Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet none of you does the Law. Why do you ^(H)seek to kill Me?” ²⁰ The crowd answered, “^(I)You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” ²¹ Jesus answered them, “I did ^(J)one work, and you all marvel. ²² For this reason ^(K)Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from ^(L)the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. ^23 (M)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 ^(N)judge according to appearance, but ^[a]judge with righteous judgment.”

²⁵ So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill? ²⁶ And look, He is speaking openly, and they are saying nothing to Him. ^(O)Do the rulers truly know that this is the ^[b]Christ? ²⁷ However, ^(P)we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ comes, no one knows where He is from.” ²⁸ Then Jesus cried out in the temple, ^(Q)teaching and saying, “^(R)You both know Me and know where I am from; and ^(S)I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know. ^29 (T)I know Him, because ^(U)I am from Him, and ^(V)He sent Me.” ³⁰ So they ^(W)were seeking to seize Him; ^[c]yet no man laid his hand on Him, because His ^(X)hour had not yet come. ³¹ But ^(Y)many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, “^(Z)When the ^[d]Christ comes, will He do more ^[e](AA)signs than this man did?”
