John 7:20

Verse 20 of 53. The 7th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

16Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

17If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.

18He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

19Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”

20The multitude answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill you?”

21Jesus answered them, “I did one work and you all marvel because of it.

22Moses has given you circumcision (not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a boy.

23If a boy receives circumcision on the Sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because I made a man completely healthy on the Sabbath?

24Don’t judge according to appearance, but judge righteous judgment.”
