16
So Jesus answered them, "My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me;
17
if any man's will is to do his will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority.
18
He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.
