Scripture Passage: - John 7:10-33
[10] But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private.
[11] The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?”
[12] And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.”
[13] Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.
[14] About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.
[15] The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?”
[16] So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.
[17] If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.
[18] The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.
[19] Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?”
[20] The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”
[21] Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it.
[22] Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath.
[23] If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man’s whole body well?
[24] Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” Can This Be the Christ?
[25] Some of the people of Jerusalem therefore said, “Is not this the man whom they seek to kill?
[26] And here he is, speaking openly, and they say nothing to him! Can it be that the authorities really know that this is the Christ?
[27] But we know where this man comes from, and when the Christ appears, no one will know where he comes from.”
[28] So Jesus proclaimed, as he taught in the temple, “You know me, and you know where I come from. But I have not come of my own accord. He who sent me is true, and him you do not know.
[29] I know him, for I come from him, and he sent me.”
[30] So they were seeking to arrest him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his hour had not yet come.
[31] Yet many of the people believed in him. They said, “When the Christ appears, will he do more signs than this man has done?”
[32] The Pharisees heard the crowd muttering these things about him, and the chief priests and Pharisees sent officers to arrest him.
[33] Jesus then said, “I will be with you a little longer, and then I am going to him who sent me.
