John 7:16-18

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁶ “My teaching isn’t my own,” replied Jesus. “It comes from the one who sent me! ¹⁷ If anyone wants to do what God wants, they will know whether this teaching is from God, or whether I’m just speaking on my own account. ¹⁸ Anyone who speaks on his own behalf is trying to establish his own reputation. But if what he’s interested in is the reputation of the one who sent him, then he is true, and there is no injustice in him.”
