12. And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceives the people.
13. However no man spoke openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14. Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15. And the Jews marveled, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?
16. Jesus answered them, and said,
17. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
18. He that speaks of himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19. Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why go you about to kill me?

22. Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and you on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
23. If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are you angry at me, because I have made a man every bit whole on the sabbath day?
24. Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
25. Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
