John 7:11-22 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

11. The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

12. And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.

13. However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of their fear of the Jews.

14. But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

15. The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?

16. Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but that of him that has sent me.

17. If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself.

18. He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.

19. Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

20. The crowd answered and said, Thou hast a demon: who seeks to kill thee?

21. Jesus answered and said to them, I have done one work, and ye all wonder.

22. Therefore Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and ye circumcise a man on sabbath.
