John 7:9-17

⁹After he said these things to them, he stayed in Galilee.

¹⁰But when his brothers had gone up to the festival, then he also went up, not publicly but in secret.

¹¹The Jews were looking for him at the festival and said, “Where is he?”

¹²There was much discussion among the crowds about him. Some said, “He is a good man.” Others said, “No, he leads the crowds astray.”

¹³Yet no one spoke openly about him for fear of the Jews.

¹⁴When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple and began to teach.

¹⁵Then the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this man know so much? He has never been educated.”

¹⁶Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not mine, but is of him who sent me.

¹⁷If anyone wishes to do his will, he will know about this teaching, whether it comes from God, or whether I speak from myself.
