Jesus at the Festival of Booths

10 However, after his brothers had gone up to the feast, Jesus also went up, not openly but in secret. 11 Now the Jews were looking for him at the feast, saying, “Where is that man?” 12 And there was much murmuring about him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is a good man.” Others were saying, “No, he is deceiving the crowd.” 13 No one, however, was speaking openly about him for fear of the Jews.

14 Midway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach. 15 The Jews were amazed, saying, “How does this man have such learning, since he has never had formal instruction?” 16 Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not my own; it comes from him who sent me. 17 If anyone wants to do his will, he will know whether my teaching comes from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him. 19 Did not Moses give you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why are you seeking to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “Yoʋ have a demon! Who is seeking to kill yoʋ?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you are all amazed. 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it came from Moses, but from the fathers), and that is why you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses will not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man entirely well on the Sabbath? 24 Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with right judgment.”
