Yochanan 7:15-31 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

15. The Judeans therefore marvelled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

16. Yeshua therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

17. If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself.

18. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19. Didn’t Moses give you the Torah, and yet none of you keeps the Torah? Why do you seek to kill me?”

20. The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

21. Yeshua answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

22. Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

23. If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the Torah of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me, because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

24. Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgement.”

25. Therefore some of them of Jerusalem said, “Isn’t this he whom they seek to kill?

26. Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him. Can it be that the rulers indeed know that this is truly the Messiah?

27. However we know where this man comes from, but when the Messiah comes, no one will know where he comes from.”

28. Yeshua therefore cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, “You both know me, and know where I am from. I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you don’t know.

29. I know him, because I am from him, and he sent me.”

30. They sought therefore to take him; but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.

31. But of the multitude, many believed in him. They said, “When the Messiah comes, he won’t do more signs than those which this man has done, will he?”
