* But when it was already the middle of the feast , Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach . "I have given them thy word ; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world , even as I am not of the world . * The Jews were amazed . They said , "How does this fellow know the sacred writings when he has never learned them ?" "I am not asking that thou wilt take them out of the world , but that thou wilt protect them from the Evil One . * In reply Jesus said to them ; "My teaching is not mine , but is his who sent me . "They are not of the world , even as I am not of the world . * "If any one wills to do Gods will he shall know concerning my teaching , whether it is from God , or I speak my own authority . "Dedicate them in thy truth ; thy word is truth . * "The man who speaks on his own authority is always seeking his own glory . But one who is eager for the glory of Him who sent him , he is true , and therefore is nothing false about him . * "Did not Moses give you the Law ? Yet none of you is keeping the Law . Why are you seeking to kill me ?" * The crowd answered . "You have a demon ! Who is trying kill you ?" * Jesus answered them . "There was one thing I did , and you are all amazed . * "Consider , therefore , Moses has given you circumcision - not that Moses originated it , but the fathers - and you are accustomed to circumcise a child even on the Sabbath . * "If a child receives circumcision on the Sabbath , in order that the Law of Moses may not be broken , how can you be angry with me because I made a man sound and well on the Sabbath ? * "Do not judge according to appearance . Judge justly ."
