007:007 It is impossible for the world to hate you; but me it does hate, because I give testimony concerning it that its conduct is evil. 007:008 As for you, go up to the Festival. I do not now go up to this Festival, because my time is not yet fully come." 007:009 Such was His answer, and He remained in Galilee. 007:010 When however His brothers had gone up to the Festival, then He also went up, not openly, but as it were privately. 007:011 Meanwhile the Jews at the Festival were looking for Him and were inquiring, "Where is he?" 007:012 Among the mass of the people there was much muttered debate about Him. Some said, "He is a good man." Others said, "Not so: he is imposing on the people." 007:013 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke out boldly about Him. 007:014 But when the Festival was already half over, Jesus went up to the Temple and commenced teaching. 007:015 The Jews were astonished. "How does this man know anything of books," they said, "although he has never been at any of the schools?" 007:016 Jesus answered their question by saying, "My teaching does not belong to me, but comes from Him who sent me. 007:017 If any one is willing to do His will, he shall know about the teaching, whether it is from God or originates with me. 007:018 The man whose teaching originates with himself aims at his own glory. He who aims at the glory of Him who sent him teaches the truth, and there is no deception in him. 007:019 Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not a man of you obeys the Law. Why do you want to kill me?" 007:020 "You are possessed by a demon," replied the crowd; "no one wants to kill you." 007:021 "One deed I have done," replied Jesus, "and you are all full of wonder. 007:022 Consider therefore. Moses gave you the rite of circumcision (not that it began with Moses, but with your earlier forefathers), and even on a Sabbath day you circumcise a child. 007:023 If a child is circumcised even on a Sabbath day, are you bitter against me because I have restored a man to perfect health on a Sabbath day? 007:024 Do not form superficial judgements, but form the judgements that are just." 007:025 Some however of the people of Jerusalem said, "Is not this the man they are wanting to kill? 007:026 But here he is, speaking openly and boldly, and they say nothing to him! Can the Rulers really have ascertained that this man is the Christ? 007:027 And yet we know this man, and we know where he is from; but as for the Christ, when He comes, no one can tell where He is from."
