John 7:16-18
New English Translation
16 So Jesus replied,[a] “My teaching is not from me, but from the one who sent me.[b] 17 If anyone wants to do God’s will,[c] he will know about my teaching, whether it is from God or whether I speak from my own authority.[d] 18 The person who speaks on his own authority[e] desires[f] to receive honor[g] for himself; the one who desires[h] the honor[i] of the one who sent him is a man of integrity,[j] and there is no unrighteousness in him.
