John 7:24-26

Expanded Bible

²⁴ Stop judging by ·the way things look [outward appearances], but judge by ·what is really right [^Lright/just/righteous judgment].”

Is Jesus the Christ?

²⁵ Then some of the people who lived in Jerusalem said, “·This is the man [^LIsn’t this the man…?] they are trying to kill. ²⁶ But he is ·teaching where everyone can see and hear him [^Lspeaking publicly], and no one is ·trying to stop [^Lsaying anything to] him. Maybe the ·leaders [rulers; authorities] have ·decided [come to recognize] he really is the ·Christ [Messiah].
