John 7:11-15 New English Translation (NET)

11. So the Jewish leaders were looking for him at the feast, asking, “Where is he?”

12. There was a lot of grumbling about him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is a good man,” but others, “He deceives the common people.”

13. However, no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jewish leaders.

14. When the feast was half over, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.

15. Then the Jewish leaders were astonished and said, “How does this man know so much when he has never had formal instruction?”
