mple and taught. (15)And the Jews wondered, saying: How knows
this man letters, having never learned? (16)Jesus therefore answered
them, and said: My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. (17)If
any one desires to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether
it is of God, or whether I speak from myself. (18)He that speaks from
himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him who
sent him, the same is true, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
(19)Has not Moses given you the law, and none of you keeps the law?
Why do ye seek to kill me? (20)The multitude answered and said: Thou
hast a demon; who seeks to kill thee? (21)Jesus answered and said to
them: I did one work, and ye all marvel. (22)Moses has for this cause
given you circumcision, not that it is of Moses, but of the fathers;
and on the sabbath ye circumcise a man. (23)If a man receives
circumcision on the sabbath, that the law of Moses may not be broken;
are ye angry at me, because I made a man altogether whole on the
sabbath? (24)Judge not according to appearance, but judge the

he that sent me is true, whom ye know not. (29)I know him; because I
am from him, and he sent me. (30)Therefore they sought to seize him;
and no one laid hands on him, because his hour had not yet come.
(31)But of the multitude many believed on him, and said: When the
Christ comes, will he work more signs than these which this man
wrought? (32)The Pharisees heard the multitude murmuring these things
concerning him; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent officers
to seize him. (33)Jesus therefore said: Yet a little while I am with
you, and I go to him who sent me. (34)Ye will seek me, and shall not
find me; and where I am, ye can not come. (35)The Jews said therefore
among themselves: Whither will this man go, that we shall not find
him? Will he go to those dispersed among the Greeks, and teach the
Greeks? (36)What is this saying that he said: Ye will seek me, and
shall not find me; and where I am, ye
