John 7:16-18

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.
