In context
12 and there was great, murmuring, about him among the multitudes: some, indeed, were saying—Good, is he! [but], others, were saying—Not so! but he is leading the multitude astray.
13 No one, nevertheless, was speaking, openly, about him, because of their fear of the Jews.
14 Presently, however, the feast being at its height, Jesus went up unto the temple and was teaching.
15 The Jews, therefore, began to marvel, saying—How, doth this one know, letters, not having learned?
16 Jesus, therefore, answered them, and said—My teaching, is not mine, but his who sent me.
17 If any one intend, his will, to do, he shall get to know concerning the teaching—whether it is, of God, or, I, from myself, am speaking,
18 He that, from himself, doth speak, his own glory, is seeking: he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same, is, true, and, injustice, in him, is there none.
