John 7:10-24

New Matthew Bible

¹⁰ But as soon as his brethren had gone up, then he also went up to the feast, not openly, but as it were, privately.

¹¹ Then the Jews were looking for him at the feast, and said, Where is he? ¹² And there was much murmuring concerning him among the people. Some said, He is good, and others said, No, but he deceives the people. ¹³ However no one spoke openly about him, for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴ Midway through the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. ¹⁵ And the Jews marvelled, saying, How does he know the scriptures, seeing that he was never taught?

¹⁶ Jesus answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his who sent me. ¹⁷ If any person desires to do his will, he will know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God or whether I speak of myself. ¹⁸ He who speaks of himself seeks his own glory. But he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him, such a person is true, and no unrighteousness is in him. ¹⁹ Did not Moses give you a law? And yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you going about to kill me?

  ²⁰ The people answered and said, You have a devil. Who is going about to kill you?

²¹ Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and you are all troubled. ²² Moses gave you circumcision, not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers. And yet you on the Sabbath day circumcise a man. ²³ If a man on the Sabbath day may receive circumcision without breaking the law of Moses, do you take offence at me because I have made a man every whit whole on the Sabbath day? ²⁴ Do not judge according to the outward appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.
