John 7:18-20

J.B. Phillips New Testament

^16-18 Jesus replied to them, “My teaching is not really mine but comes from the one who sent me. If anyone wants to do God’s will, he will know whether my teaching is from God or whether I merely speak on my own authority. A man who speaks on his own authority has an eye for his own reputation. But the man who is considering the glory of God who sent him is a true man. There can be no dishonesty about him.

¹⁹ “Did not Moses give you the Law? Yet not a single one of you obeys the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?”

²⁰ The crowd answered, “You must be mad! Who is trying to kill you?”
