14. The festival was nearly half over when Jesus went to the Temple and began teaching.
15. The Jewish authorities were greatly surprised and said, “How does this man know so much when he has never had any training?”
16. Jesus answered, “What I teach is not my own teaching, but it comes from God, who sent me.
17. Whoever is willing to do what God wants will know whether what I teach comes from God or whether I speak on my own authority.
18. A person who speaks on his own authority is trying to gain glory for himself. But he who wants glory for the one who sent him is honest, and there is nothing false in him.
