9. After he had said this, he stayed on in Galilee.
10. But when his brothers had gone up to the feast, he himself also went up, not openly but [as it were] in secret.
11. The Jews were looking for him at the feast and saying, “Where is he?”
12. And there was considerable murmuring about him in the crowds. Some said, “He is a good man,” [while] others said, “No; on the contrary, he misleads the crowd.”
13. Still, no one spoke openly about him because they were afraid of the Jews.
14. When the feast was already half over, Jesus went up into the temple area and began to teach.
15. The Jews were amazed and said, “How does he know scripture without having studied?”
16. Jesus answered them and said, “My teaching is not my own but is from the one who sent me.
17. Whoever chooses to do his will shall know whether my teaching is from God or whether I speak on my own.
18. Whoever speaks on his own seeks his own glory, but whoever seeks the glory of the one who sent him is truthful, and there is no wrong in him.
