John 7:14-19

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

15The Jews were surprised and asked, “How can this man be so educated when he hasn’t gone to school?”

16Jesus responded to them, “What I teach doesn’t come from me but from the one who sent me.

17Those who want to follow the will of God will know if what I teach is from God or if I teach my own thoughts.

18Those who speak their own thoughts are looking for their own glory. But the man who wants to bring glory to the one who sent him is a true teacher and doesn’t have dishonest motives.

19Didn’t Moses give you his teachings? Yet, none of you does what Moses taught you. So why do you want to kill me?”
