John 7:5-23
-
5 For neither did his brethren believe in him.
-
6 Then Jesus said unto them, My time is not yet come: but your time is alway ready.
-
7 The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.
-
8 Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast: for my time is not yet full come.
-
9 When he had said these words unto them, he abode still in Galilee.
-
10 But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.
-
11 Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?
-
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
-
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
-
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
-
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
-
16 Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
-
17 If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.
-
18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
-
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?
