About halfway through the feast, Jesus went into the temple and taught.
The Jews were amazed and said, How does He know all this since He has
no training? Jesus answered, My teachings are not mine but the
teachings of the one who sent me. If any man does His will he will know
whether the doctrine is from God or whether I speak on my own. He who
speaks on his own seeks his own glory. He who seeks the glory of the
one who sent Him is truthful and has nothing false in Him.
Did Moses not give you the law; yet none of you keep the law? Why are
you about to kill me? The people said, You have a devil. Who is about
to kill you? Jesus answered, I have done one work and you all marvel.
Moses gave you circumcision, which was handed down to him, and you
circumcise a man on the sabbath day. If a man receives circumcision on
the sabbath day so the law of Moses is not broken, are you offended
because I have healed a man on the sabbath day? Do not judge by
appearances, but judge by what is just.
Some of them said, Is He not the one they seek to kill? Yet He speaks
openly and they say nothing to Him. Do the rulers really know that this
is the Christ? How is it that we know where this man is from; but, when
the Messiah comes, no one is supposed to know where He is from? As
Jesus was teaching in the temple He cried out, You know me and you also
know where I am from.
