John 7:8-18

8 "Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because 1My time has not yet fully come."
9 Having said these things to them, He stayed in Galilee.
10 But when His 2brothers had gone up to the feast, then He Himself also went up, not publicly, but as if, in secret.
11 3So the Jews 4were seeking Him at the feast and were saying, "Where is He?"
12 There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; 5some were saying, "He is a good man "; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray."
13 Yet no one was speaking openly of Him for 6fear of the Jews.
14 But when it was now the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and began to 7teach.
15 8The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man 9become learned, having never been educated?"
16 So Jesus answered them and said, "10My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
17 "11If anyone is willing to do His will, he will know of the teaching, whether it is of God or whether I speak from Myself.
18 "He who speaks from himself 12seeks his own glory; but He who is seeking the glory of the One who sent Him, He is true, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.
