But when His ^(l)brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret.

^(m)So the Jews ⁽ⁿ⁾were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"

There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; ^(o)some were saying, "He is a good man"; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray."

Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for ^(p)fear of the Jews.

But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to ^(q)teach.

^(r)The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man ^(s)become learned, having never been educated?"

So Jesus answered them and said, "^(t)My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

^(u)If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.

He who speaks from himself ^(v)seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.

"^(w)Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you ^(x)seek to kill Me?"

The crowd answered, "^(y)You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?"

Jesus answered them, "I did ^(z)one ^[b]deed, and you all marvel.

For this reason ^(aa)Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from ^(ab)the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man.

^(ac)If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

Do not ^(ad)judge according to appearance, but ^[c]judge with righteous judgment."
