13 But no one talked about him openly, because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities.
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 been to school?”
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 Those who speak on their own authority are trying to gain glory for themselves. But he who wants glory for the one who sent him is honest, and there is nothing false in him.
19 Moses gave you the Law, didn't he? But not one of you obeys the Law. Why are you trying to kill me?”
