## John 7:16-18 in Context (Verses 13–21 KJV)
 
 [13 ](/kjv/john/7/13) Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
 
 [14 ](/kjv/john/7/14) ¶ Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
 
 [15 ](/kjv/john/7/15) And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
 
 [16 ](/kjv/john/7/16) Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
 
 [17 ](/kjv/john/7/17) If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or *whether* I speak of myself.
 
 [18 ](/kjv/john/7/18) He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
 
 [19 ](/kjv/john/7/19) Did not Moses give you the law, and *yet* none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
 
 [20 ](/kjv/john/7/20) The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
 
 [21 ](/kjv/john/7/21) Jesus answered and said unto them, I have done one work, and ye all marvel.
