In this passage, Jesus points out the sin of the Jews. What emerges from this dialogue is the Jews’ unwillingness to obey God (v. 19a), their specific violation of God’s law (v. 19b), the vilification of God (v. 20), and their gross negligence of God’s Law (v. 21-23). Even though sin rears its ugly head through these verses, the Lord points His audience to hope and calls them to repentance (v. 24) and the quenching of their spiritual thirst (v. 37-39).

John 7:19-24
“Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?” The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who seeks to kill You?” Jesus answered them, “I did one deed, and you all marvel. For this reason Moses has given you circumcision (not because it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and on the Sabbath you circumcise a man. If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath? Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment.”
