Jesus Teaches in the Temple

14

Not until the festival was half over did Yeshua go up to the Temple courts and begin to teach.

15

The Judeans were surprised: “How does this man know so much without having studied?” they asked.

16

So Yeshua gave them an answer: “My teaching is not my own, it comes from the One who sent me.

17

If anyone wants to do his will, he will know whether my teaching is from God or I speak on my own.

18

A person who speaks on his own is trying to win praise for himself; but a person who tries to win praise for the one who sent him is honest, there is nothing false about him.

19

Didn’t Moshe give you the Torah? Yet not one of you obeys the Torah! Why are you out to kill me?”

20

“You have a demon!” the crowd answered. “Who’s out to kill you?”

21

Yeshua answered them, “I did one thing; and because of this, all of you are amazed.

22

Moshe gave you b’rit-milah — not that it came from Moshe but from the Patriarchs — and you do a boy’s b’rit-milah on Shabbat.

23

If a boy is circumcised on Shabbat so that the Torah of Moshe will not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man’s whole body well on Shabbat?

24

Stop judging by surface appearances, and judge the right way!”
