John 7:16

In context

14When the festival was already half over, Jesus went up to the temple and began to teach. 15The Jews were astonished. “How does this man have such learning,” they said, “when he has never studied?” 16Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not my own; it belongs to the one who sent me. 17If anyone wants to do his will, he will find out about this teaching — whether it comes from God, or whether I speak on my own. 18Whoever speaks on his own is after his own glory; but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him — that man is truthful, and there is no wrong in him.
