  1. John 7:16 Therefore are there few to whom the Gospel favoreth well, because the study of godliness is very rare.
  2. John 7:16 See John 5:22, and he speaketh this after the opinion of the Jews, as if he said, My doctrine is not mine, that is, it is not his whom you take to be a man as others are, and therefore set light by him, but it is his that sent me.
