John 7:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 And the Jews marveled, saying, How knoweth this man the Scriptures, seeing that he never learned!
16 [a]Jesus answered them, and said, [b]My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me.
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.

- 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.
