John 7:12-18

¹²And there was much murmuring concerning him among the crowds. Some said, He is a good man; others said, No; but he deceives the crowd.

¹³However, no one spoke openly concerning him on account of their fear of the Jews.

¹⁴But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught.

¹⁵The Jews therefore wondered, saying, How knows this man letters, having never learned?

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine is not mine, but that of him that has sent me.

¹⁷If any one desire to practise his will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is of God, or that I speak from myself.

¹⁸He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but he that seeks the glory of him that has sent him, he is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
