Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

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.

²⁵ Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is this not the man they are going about to kill? ²⁶ Look, he speaks boldly, but they say nothing to him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ? ²⁷ But we know this man, where he is from, and when Christ comes, no one will know where he is from.

²⁸ Then Jesus cried out in the temple as he taught, saying, You know me; and where I am from, you know. And yet I am not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know. ²⁹ I know him, for I am of him, and he has sent me.

³⁰ Then they would have apprehended him, but no man laid hands on him, because his time was not yet come. ³¹ Many of the people believed on him and said, When Christ comes, will he do more miracles than this man has done?

³⁷ In the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come unto me and drink. ³⁸ He who believes on me, as says the scripture, out of his belly shall flow rivers of the water of life.

³⁹ He spoke this of the Spirit, which those who believed on him would receive.  For the Holy Spirit was not yet there, because Jesus was not yet glorified.
