John 7:15-19 in English

¹⁵ The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?

¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷ If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

¹⁸ He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

¹⁵ The Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁶ Jesus answered, “My teaching isn’t mine, but His who sent me.

¹⁷ Anyone who wants to do His will shall know if the teaching is from God or if I speak on my own.

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

¹⁹ Didn’t Moses give you the Law, yet none of you keeps the Law? Why are you trying to kill me?”

¹⁶ Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷ If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

¹⁸ He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?

¹⁷ If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it be of God, or whether I speak from myself.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

¹⁵ The Jewish elders were amazed at what he was saying. They said, “This man never studied in one of our religious schools! So ◄how can he have learned so much about Scripture?/it is difficult for us to believe that he has learned so much about Scripture!► RHQ”

¹⁶ Jesus replied to them, “What I teach does not come from myself. It comes from God, the one who sent me.

¹⁷ Those who choose to do what God wants will find out whether what I teach comes from God or whether I am speaking with only my own authority.

¹⁸ Those who speak with only their own authority do that only so that others will honor them. But I am doing things so that others will honor the one who sent me, and I am someone who speaks the truth. I never lie.

¹⁹ Think about the laws that Moses gave you RHQ. None of you completely obeys those laws. So why are you trying to kill me, saying I do not obey the laws concerning ◄ the Sabbath/the Jewish day of rest►?”

¹⁵ The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

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

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

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

¹⁵ Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

¹⁶ Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

¹⁷ If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from — from God or from myself.

¹⁸ The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him — that man is true and there is no evil in him.

¹⁹ Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

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

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

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

¹⁸ He 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.

¹⁹ Has not Moses given you the law, and no one of you practises the law? Why do ye seek to kill me?

¹⁵ And the Jews wondered, saying: How doth this man know letters, having never learned?

¹⁶ Jesus answered them, and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷ If any man do the will of him; he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself.

¹⁸ He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true, and there is no injustice in him.

¹⁹ Did Moses not give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law?

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

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

¹⁷ If 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.

¹⁷ If 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.

¹⁸ Someone 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.

¹⁹ “Did not Moses give you the Law? And yet not one of you keeps the Law! Why do you want to kill me?”

¹⁵ The Jewish leaders were very surprised, and asked, “How does this man have so much learning when he hasn't been educated?”

¹⁶ Jesus answered, “My teaching is not from me but from the one who sent me.

¹⁷ Anyone who chooses to follow what God wants will know if my teaching comes from God or if I'm only speaking for myself.

¹⁸ Those who speak for themselves want to glorify themselves, but someone who glorifies the one who sent him is truthful and not deceitful.

¹⁹ Moses gave you the law, didn't he? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why are you trying to kill me?”

¹⁵ And the Iewes marueiled, saving, Howe knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that hee neuer learned!

¹⁶ Iesus answered them, and saide, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.

¹⁷ If any man will doe his will, he shall knowe of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speake of my selfe.

¹⁸ Hee that speaketh of himselfe, seeketh his owne glorie: but hee that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no vnrighteousnes is in him.

¹⁵ The authorities were astonished. “How has this man got his learning,” they asked, “when he has never studied?”

¹⁶ So, in reply, Jesus said, “My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.

¹⁷ If anyone has the will to do God's will, they will find out whether my teaching is from God, or whether I speak on my own authority.

¹⁸ The person who speaks on their own authority seeks honour for themselves; but the one who seeks the honour of him who sent him is sincere, and there is nothing false in him.

¹⁹ Was not it Moses who gave you the Law? Yet not one of you obeys it! Why are you seeking to put me to death?”

¹⁵ The authorities were astonished. “How has this man got his learning,” they asked, “when he has never studied?”

¹⁶ So, in reply, Jesus said, “My teaching is not my own; it is his who sent me.
