John 7:9-17

⁹And having said these things unto them, he abode still in Galilee.

¹⁰But when his brethren were gone up unto the feast, then went he also up, not publicly, but as it were in secret.

¹¹The Jews therefore sought him at the feast, and said, Where is he?

¹²And there was much murmuring among the multitudes concerning him: some said, He is a good man; others said, Not so, but he leadeth the multitude astray.

¹³Yet no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.

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

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

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

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