John 7:18-20

Contemporary English Version

¹⁸ If I wanted to bring honor to myself, I would speak for myself. But I want to honor the one who sent me. This is why I tell the truth and not a lie. ¹⁹ Didn't Moses give you the Law? Yet none of you obey it! So why do you want to kill me?

²⁰ The crowd replied, “You're crazy! What makes you think someone wants to kill you?”
