14 When the festival was halfway through, Jesus went to the Temple and began to teach. 15 The Jewish leaders were very surprised, and asked, "How does this man have so much learning* when he hasn't been educated?"

16 Jesus answered, "My teaching is not from me but from the one who sent me. 17 Anyone who chooses to follow what God wants will know if my teaching comes from God or if I'm only speaking for myself. 18 Those who speak for themselves want to glorify themselves, but someone who glorifies the one who sent him is truthful and not deceitful.
