John:7:14-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple ,
and taught .
*
And the Jews marvelled ,
saying ,
How knoweth this man letters ,
having never learned ?
*
Jesus answered them ,
and said ,
My doctrine is not mine ,
but his that sent me .
*
If any man will do his will ,
he shall know of the doctrine ,
whether it be of God ,
or whether I speak of myself .
*
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 .
*
Did not Moses give you the law ,
and yet none of you keepeth the law ?
Why go ye about to kill me ?
*
The people answered and said ,
Thou hast a devil :
who goeth about to kill thee ?
*
Jesus answered and said unto them ,
I have done one work ,
and ye all marvel .
*
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 .
*
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 ?
*
Judge not according to the appearance ,
but judge righteous judgment .
*
Then said some of them of Jerusalem ,
Is not this he ,
whom they seek to kill ?
*
But ,
lo ,
he speaketh boldly ,
and they say nothing unto him .
Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ ?
*
Howbeit we know this man whence he is :
but when Christ cometh ,
no man knoweth whence he is .
*
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 .
