7:14 到了節期,耶穌上殿裡去教訓人。
7:15 猶太人就希奇,說:「這個人沒有學過,怎麼明白書呢?」
7:16 耶穌說:「我的教訓不是我自己的,乃是那差我來者的。
7:17 人若立志遵著他的旨意行,就必曉得這教訓或是出於上帝,或是我憑著自己說的。
7:18 人憑著自己說,是求自己的榮耀;惟有求那差他來者的榮耀,這人是真的,在他心裡沒有不義。
7:19 摩西豈不是傳律法給你們嗎?你們卻沒有一個人守律法。為甚麼想要殺我呢?」
7:20 眾人回答說:「你是被鬼附著了!誰想要殺你?」
7:21 耶穌說:「我做了一件事,你們都以為希奇。
7:22 摩西傳割禮給你們(其實不是從摩西起的,乃是從祖先起的),因此你們也在安息日給人行割禮。
7:23 人若在安息日受割禮,免得違背摩西的律法,我在安息日叫一個人全然好了,你們就向我生氣嗎?
7:24 不可按外貌斷定是非,總要按公平斷定是非。」
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. 15 The Jews there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning without having been taught?”
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory, but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
20 “You are demon-possessed,” the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”
21 Jesus said to them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed. 22 Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a boy on the Sabbath. 23 Now if a boy can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing a man’s whole body on the Sabbath? 24 Stop judging by mere appearances, but instead judge correctly.”

主耶穌在節期的時候還是出現,並且宣告了重要的信息:「我的教訓不是我自己的,乃是那差我來者的。人若立志遵著他的旨意行,就必曉得這教訓或是出於上帝,或是我憑著自己說的。人憑著自己說,是求自己的榮耀;惟有求那差他來者的榮耀,這人是真的,在他心裡沒有不義。摩西豈不是傳律法給你們嗎?你們卻沒有一個人守律法。為甚麼想要殺我呢?」
主耶穌這段話很重要,提醒那些猶太人知道:要尋求上帝的榮耀,過於人的榮耀!連主耶穌自己都是求上帝的榮耀,更是要榮耀上帝,而不是要榮耀自己!也為這樣的人,才是真正的義人,而主耶穌正是這樣的榜樣要讓我們學習!
親愛的弟兄姊妹,讓我們尋求上帝的榮耀,並且將榮耀歸給上帝,唯有上帝是榮耀!人的榮耀是虛假的,是沒有意義的,不是我們要擁有的;只有上帝的榮耀才是真實的,才是我們要擁有的!
