John
John 7:15–17
15The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
16“My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me. 17If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
