John 7:14-19

14Then, midway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and began to teach.

15The people were surprised when they heard him. “How does he know so much when he hasn’t been trained?” they asked.

16So Jesus told them, “My message is not my own; it comes from God who sent me.

17Anyone who wants to do the will of God will know whether my teaching is from God or is merely my own.

18Those who speak for themselves want glory only for themselves, but a person who seeks to honor the one who sent him speaks truth, not lies.

19Moses gave you the law, but none of you obeys it! In fact, you are trying to kill me.”
