John 7:16-18

International Standard Version

¹⁶ Jesus replied to them, “My teaching is not mine but comes from the one who sent me. ¹⁷ If anyone wants to do his will, he’ll know whether this teaching is from God or whether I’m speaking on my own. ¹⁸ The one who speaks on his own seeks his own praise. But the one who seeks the praise of him who sent him is genuine, and there’s nothing false in him.
