John 7:12-18

¹²And there was much murmuring among the crowds concerning Him. Some on the one hand were saying, “He is a good Man”; while others were saying, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.”

¹³However, no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴But now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.

¹⁵And the Jews were marveling, saying, “How has this Man become learned, since He has not been educated?”

¹⁶Therefore Jesus answered them and said, “My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

¹⁷If anyone desires to do His will, he will know about the doctrine, whether it is from God, or whether I am speaking on My own authority.

¹⁸He who speaks from himself is seeking his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
