14. READ: JOHN 7:11-18
[John 7:11] "Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for Him [Jesus] and asking, ‘Where is that man?'
[12] "Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about Him. Some said, ‘He is a good man.'
"Others replied, ‘No, He deceives the people.' [13] But no one would say anything publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
[14] "Not until halfway through the Feast did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach. [15] The Jews were amazed and asked, ‘How did this man get such learning without having studied?'
[16] "Jesus answered, ‘My teaching is not My own. It comes from Him who sent Me. [17] If anyone chooses to do God's Will, he will find out whether My teaching comes from God or whether I speak on My own. [18] He who speaks on his own does so to gain honor for himself, but He Who works for the honor of the One Who sent Him is a man of Truth; there is nothing false about Him.'"
