14. When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple complex and began to teach.
15. Then the Jews were amazed and said, “How does He know the Scriptures, since He hasn’t been trained? ”
16. Jesus answered them, “My teaching isn’t Mine but is from the One who sent Me.
17. If anyone wants to do His will, he will understand whether the teaching is from God or if I am speaking on My own.
18. The one who speaks for himself seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
19. Didn’t Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why do you want to kill Me? ”
20. “You have a demon! ” the crowd responded. “Who wants to kill You? ”
21. “I did one work, and you are all amazed,” Jesus answered.
22. “Consider this: Moses has given you circumcision — not that it comes from Moses but from the fathers — and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
23. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses won’t be broken, are you angry at Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?
24. Stop judging according to outward appearances; rather judge according to righteous judgment.”
25. Some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, “Isn’t this the man they want to kill?
26. Yet, look! He’s speaking publicly and they’re saying nothing to Him. Can it be true that the authorities know He is the Messiah?
27. But we know where this man is from. When the Messiah comes, nobody will know where He is from.”
