John 7:11-18 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. Then the Jews looked for Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?”

12. There was much complaining among the people concerning Him. For some said, “He is a good Man.”Others said, “No, He deceives the people.”

13. Yet no one spoke openly of Him for fear of the Jews.

14. Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching.

15. The Jews marveled, saying, “How has this Man become educated, having never been taught?”

16. Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

17. If any man desires to do His will, he shall know whether the teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.

18. He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory. But He who seeks the glory of Him who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.
