7:14¶ Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.

7:15And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

7:16Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

7:20The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?

7:21Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.

7:22Moses therefore gave unto you circumcision; (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers;) and ye on the sabbath day circumcise a man.

7:23If 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?

7:24Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

7:25Then said some of them of Jerusalem, Is not this he, whom they seek to kill?

7:26But, lo, he speaketh boldly, and they say nothing unto him. Do the rulers know indeed that this is the very Christ?

7:27Howbeit we know this man whence he is: but when Christ cometh, no man knoweth whence he is.

7:28Then 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.

7:29But I know him: for I am from him, and he hath sent me.
