14 Ref But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 Ref The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Ref Jesus therefore answered them and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.
17 Ref If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or `whether' I speak from myself.
18 Ref He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
19 Ref Did not Moses give you the law, and `yet' none of you doeth the law? Why seek ye to kill me?

17 Ref If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.
