John 7v14-18

Heavenly father

give us grace to desire to do your will and to seek your glory
and thank you for the understanding and truth that will flow as a result.

¹⁴ But when it was now the middle of the feast, Jesus went up into the temple and taught. 
¹⁵ The Jews therefore marvelled, saying, “How does this man know letters, having never been educated?”

¹⁶ Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 
¹⁷ If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. 
¹⁸ He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
