7:14

Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.

7:15

The Jews were amazed and asked, "How did this man get such learning without having studied?"

7:16

Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own. It comes from him who sent me.

7:17

If anyone chooses to do God's will, he will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own.

7:18

He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but he who works for the honor of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him.

7:19

Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?"

7:20

"You are demon-possessed," the crowd answered. "Who is trying to kill you?"

7:21

Jesus said to them, "I did one miracle, and you are all astonished.

7:22

Yet, because Moses gave you circumcision (though actually it did not come from Moses, but from the patriarchs), you circumcise a child on the Sabbath.

7:23

Now if a child can be circumcised on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me for healing the whole man on the Sabbath?

7:24

Stop judging by mere appearances, and make a right judgment."

7:25

At that point some of the people of Jerusalem began to ask, "Isn't this the man they are trying to kill?

7:26

Here he is, speaking publicly, and they are not saying a word to him. Have the authorities really concluded that he is the Christ?

7:27

But we know where this man is from; when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."

7:28

Then Jesus, still teaching in the temple courts, cried out, "Yes, you know me, and you know where I am from. I am not here on my own, but he who sent me is true. You do not know him,

7:29

but I know him because I am from him and he sent me."

7:30

At this they tried to seize him, but no one laid a hand on him, because his time had not yet come.

4:8

Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.

16:7

But the LORD said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart."

9:10

While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew's house, many tax collectors and "sinners" came and ate with him and his disciples.

9:11

When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, "Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and 'sinners'?"

6:2

"So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

6:3

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

6:4

so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

6:5

"And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full.

6:6

But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.

23:25

"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You clean the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of greed and self-indulgence.

23:26

Blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of the cup and dish, and then the outside also will be clean.

4:3

I care very little if I am judged by you or by any human court; indeed, I do not even judge myself.

4:4

My conscience is clear, but that does not make me innocent. It is the Lord who judges me.

4:5

Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.

7:1

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged.

7:2

For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

7:3

"Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye?

7:4

How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye?

7:5

You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

2:1

You, therefore, have no excuse, you who pass judgment on someone else, for at whatever point you judge the other, you are condemning yourself, because you who pass judgment do the same things.

6:1

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted.

18:15

"If your brother sins against you, go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.

18:16

But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'

18:17

If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
