^30 (A)“I can do nothing on my own. As I hear, I judge, and ^(B)my judgment is just, because ^(C)I seek not my own will ^(D)but the will of him who sent me.

¹⁶ So Jesus answered them, ^(A)“My teaching is not mine, but his ^(B)who sent me. ^17 (C)If anyone's will is to do God's^[a] will, ^(D)he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I ^(E)am speaking on my own authority.

¹⁰ Do you not believe that ^(A)I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^(B)I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹ Believe me that ^(C)I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else ^(D)believe on account of the works themselves.
