14. Now when the feast was already half over, Jesus went to the temple courts and began to teach.
15. Then the Jews were astonished, saying, “How does this man possess knowledge, because he has not been taught?”
16. So Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is from the one who sent me.
17. If anyone wants to do his will, he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or I am speaking from myself.
18. The one who speaks from himself seeks his own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of the one who sent him—this one is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
19. Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you carries out the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
20. The crowd replied, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
21. Jesus answered and said to them, “I performed one work, and you are all astonished.
22. Because of this Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is 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 would not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a whole man well on the Sabbath?
24. Do not judge according to outward appearance, but judge according to righteous judgment!”
25. Then some of the inhabitants of Jerusalem began to say, “Is this not the one whom they are seeking to kill?
26. And behold, he is speaking openly and they are saying nothing to him! Can it be that the rulers truly know that this man is the Christ?
27. Yet we know where this man is from, but the Christ, whenever he comes—no one knows where he is from!”
