John 7:15

Wisdom

13 Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.

14 About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.

The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”

16 “My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.

17 If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
