John 7:15-26 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

15. The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?"

16. So Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

19. "Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

20. The crowd answered, "You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?"

21. Jesus answered them, "I did one deed, and you all marvel.

22. For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

23. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

24. Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

25. So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

26. Look, He is speaking publicly, and they are saying nothing to Him. The rulers do not really know that this is the Christ, do they?
