John Chapter 7 Verse 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.›

‹The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil.›

‹Go ye up unto this feast: I go not up yet unto this feast; for my time is not yet full come.›

When he had said these words unto them, he abode [still] in Galilee.

But when his brethren were gone up, then went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but as it were in secret.

Then the Jews sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

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.

Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

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.›

‹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.
