The Gospel of John
9. Having said these things to them, he remained in Galilee.
10. But when his brothers came, then he also came to the feast not openly, but as if secretly.
11. And the Jews were looking for him at the feast and said, "Where is he?"
12. And there was much talk about him among the people: some said that he was good; and others said, "No, but he deceives the people."
13. However, no one spoke of Him openly, for fear of the Jews.
14. But it was already the middle of the feast that Jesus entered the temple and taught.
15. And the Jews were amazed, saying, "How does he know the Scriptures without studying?"
16. Jesus answered them and said, "My teaching is not mine, but Him who sent me;
17. whoever wants to do His will will know of this doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak for myself.
18. He who speaks of himself seeks glory for himself; but he who seeks glory to him who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
19. Did not Moses give you the law? And none of you walks according to the law. Why do you seek to kill Me?
20. The people answered and said, "Isn't there a demon in you?" who seeks to kill you?
21. Jesus, continuing his speech, said to them, "I have done one thing, and you are all amazed."
22. Moses gave you circumcision [although it is not from Moses, but from the fathers], and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.
23. If a man is circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I healed the whole man on the Sabbath?
24. Do not judge by appearances, but judge with righteous judgment.
25. Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is this not the one whom they seek to kill?
26. Behold, he speaks openly, and they say nothing to him, "Have not the rulers been convinced that he is truly the Christ?"
27. But we know Him whence He comes; When Christ comes, no one will know where He comes from.
28. Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, "You know me, and you know where I come from; and I have not come of myself, but he who sent me is true, whom you do not know.
29. I know Him because I am of Him, and He sent Me.
