10 After his brothers left to go to the festival, Jesus also went, but not openly—he stayed out of sight.11 Now at the festival the Jewish leaders were searching for him and kept on asking, “Where is he?”12 Many people in the crowds were complaining about him. Some said, “He's a good man,” while others argued, “No! He deceives people.”13 But no one dared to speak openly about him because they were afraid of what the Jewish leaders would do to them.

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.19 Moses gave you the law, didn't he? Yet none of you keeps the law! Why are you trying to kill me?”
