John 7:12-19

¹²There was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “Not so, but he leads the multitude astray.”

¹³Yet no one spoke openly of him for 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 marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁶Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me.

¹⁷If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God or if I am speaking from myself.

¹⁸He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹Didn’t Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keeps the law? Why do you seek to kill me?”
