John:7:14-24
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught .
*
And the Jews marveled ,
saying , »
How did this man get such learning ,
having never studied ?«
*
Jesus answered them , »
My teaching is not mine ,
but his who sent me .
*
If anyone is willing to do his will ,
he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own authority .
*
He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory ;
but he who seeks the glory of the One who sent him is true ,
and in him there is no falsehood .
*
Did not Moses give you the law ?
Yet none of you keeps the law .
Why do you seek to kill me ?«
*
The people answered , »
You have a demon .
Who is seeking to kill you ?«
*
Jesus answered them , »
I did one deed ,
and you all marvel .
*
Moses therefore gave you circumcision (
not that it is from Moses ,
but from the fathers ),
and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath .
*
If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision ,
so that the law of Moses may not be broken ,
are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man '
s whole body well ?
*
Do not judge by appearances ,
but judge with right judgment .«
