John 7:14-19

14In the middle of the time of the festival, Jesus went to the temple. He started to teach in the yard there.

15The Jewish leaders were very surprised. They asked, ‘How does this man know so much? He has not learned in our schools.’

16Jesus answered, ‘What I teach does not come from me. No, it comes from the one who sent me.

17Anyone who chooses to do what God wants will know about my teaching. They will know whether it comes from God, or whether it comes from my own thoughts.

18A person who teaches his own ideas wants people to think that he himself is great. But I want to show that the one who sent me is great. A person like that is honest and there is nothing false in him.

19Moses gave God's Law to you. But not one of you obeys that Law. Why are you trying to kill me?’
