John 7:12-18

¹²And there was a lot of murmuring about Him among the crowds. Some were saying, “He is good”; others were saying, “On the contrary, he's deceiving the people.”

¹³However, no one was talking openly about Him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴Now when the feast was already half over Jesus went up into the temple and started to teach.

¹⁵And the Jews were marveling saying, “How is this man learned, not having been educated?”

¹⁶So Jesus answered them and said: “What I teach is not mine, but His who sent me.

¹⁷If anyone wants to do His will, he will know concerning the teaching, whether it is from God or whether I am speaking on my own.

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