Jesus Teaches in the Temple

14

Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

15

And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

16

Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

17

If any man will do the will of him, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

18

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him.

19

Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

20

Why seek you to kill me? The multitude answered and said: Thou hast a devil. Who seeketh to kill thee?

21

Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder.

22

Therefore, Moses gave you circumcision (not because it is of Moses, but of the fathers): and on the sabbath day you circumcise a man.

23

If a man receive circumcision on the sabbath day, that the law of Moses may not be broken: are you angry at me, because I have healed the whole man on the sabbath day?

24

Judge not according to the appearance: but judge just judgment.
