The Scriptures 1998

John 7:14-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

14. And about the middle of the festival יהושע went up into the Set-apart Place, and He was teaching.

15. And the Yehuḏim were marvelling, saying, “How does this Man know letters, not having learned?”

16. יהושע answered them and said, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

17. “If anyone desires to do His desire, he shall know concerning the teaching, whether it is from Elohim, or whether I speak from Myself.

18. “He who speaks from himself is seeking his own esteem, but He who seeks the esteem of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.

19. “Did not Mosheh give you the Torah? Yet not one of you does the Torah! Why do you seek to kill Me?”

20. The crowd answered and said, “You have a demon, who seeks to kill You?”

21. יהושע answered and said to them, “I did one work, and you all marvel.

22. “Because of this Mosheh has given you the circumcision – though it is not from Mosheh, but from the fathers – and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.

23. “If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath, so that the Torah of Mosheh should not be broken, are you wroth with Me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath?

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