John 7:19

Moses
The law

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

18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.

20 “You have a demon,” the crowd replied. “Who is trying to kill You?”

21 Jesus answered them, “I did one miracle, and you are all amazed.
