11 During the festival the Jewish leaders looked for Jesus and asked, “Where is he?”
12 The crowds even got into an argument about him. Some were saying, “Jesus is a good man,” while others were saying, “He is lying to everyone.”
13 But the people were afraid of their leaders, and none of them talked in public about him.
14 When the festival was about half over, Jesus went into the temple and started teaching.
15 The leaders were surprised and said, “How does this man know so much? He has never been taught!”
16 Jesus replied:I am not teaching something that I thought up. What I teach comes from the one who sent me.
17 If you really want to obey God, you will know if what I teach comes from God or from me.
