John 7:19-30
-
19 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
-
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
-
21 Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
-
22 Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.
-
23 If a man on the sabbath day receive circumcision, that the law of Moses should not be broken; are ye angry at me, because I have made a man every whit whole on the sabbath day?
-
24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.
-
25 Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?
-
26 But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?
-
27 Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.
-
28 Then cried Jesus in the temple as he taught, saying, Ye both know me, and ye know whence I am: and I am not come of myself, but he that sent me is true, whom ye know not.
-
29 But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
-
30 Then they sought to take him: but no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
