New Testament

John 7:17-23 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

17. If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me.

18. If I wanted to bring honour to myself, I would speak for myself. But I want to honour the one who sent me. That is why I tell the truth and not a lie.

19. Didn't Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you obey it! So why do you want to kill me?

20. The crowd replied, “You're mad! What makes you think someone wants to kill you?”

21. Jesus answered:I performed one miracle, and it amazed you.

22. Moses commanded you to circumcise your sons. But it wasn't really Moses who gave you this command. It was your ancestors, and even on the Sabbath you circumcise your sons

23. in order to obey the Law of Moses. Why are you angry with me for making someone completely well on the Sabbath?
