26 And Jesus said, I did not learn the wisdom of the Holy One within the schools of men; my teaching is not mine; I speak the words of him who sent me here to do his will.

27 If any man would know whereof I speak, lo, he must do the will of God. No man can know except he enters into life and does the will of God.

28 Now, Moses gave the law; but none of you have kept the law; how can you judge the worthiness of any man?

29 Once in these courts I healed a man upon a Sabbath day, and in a rage you sought to take my life; and now because I tell the truth you seek again to take my life.

30 A scribe spoke out and said, You foolish man, you are obsessed; who wants to take your life?

31 The common people said, Is this not Jesus whom the rulers long have sought to kill? and now he comes and teaches in the temple courts.

32 If he is guilty of such monstrous crimes, why do they not take him away in chains?

33 And Jesus said, You all know me, and know from whence I came; but you know not the God who sent me here, whose words I speak.

34 The multitudes again stood forth in his defense; they said, If this is not the Christ whom God has promised to reveal to men, will he do greater works when he shall come than does this man?

35 The Pharisees and ruling priests were angered and they sent their officers to take him e’er he went away. The officers were filled with fear; they seized him not.
