JOHN 7 10-24

  🍃🕊️ 03/12 - GospeL Verses 🕊️🍃

                    (paraphrased)

10 - But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then Jesus went up also, not openly but quietly. 11 The people were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much undercurrent of talking about him among the people. While some said, “He’s a good man,” others said, “No, he’s leading the people astray.” 13 Yet for fear of the leaders no one spoke openly. {Social intimidation.}

     14 At about the middle of the feast, Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach. 15 The people marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus said, “My teaching is not from me, but is the teaching of the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who wants to do God's will, will know if the teaching is from God, or whether what I speak is from myself. 18 The one who speaks from their self seeks their own glory. But the one who seeks the glory of he who sent him is genuine, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. For why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision, not that it was from Moses, but from the fathers, and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so 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 Don’t judge by the superficial, but judge with {deeper} right judgment.”
