John 7:12-20
English Standard Version
12 And there was much (A)muttering about him among the people. (B)While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, (C)he is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet (D)for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him.
14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up (E)into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore (F)marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning,[a] when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, (G)“My teaching is not mine, but his (H)who sent me. 17 (I)If anyone's will is to do God's[b] will, (J)he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I (K)am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority (L)seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 (M)Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. (N)Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, (O)“You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?”

John 7:12-20
New International Version
12 Among the crowds there was widespread whispering about him. Some said, “He is a good man.”
Others replied, “No, he deceives the people.”(A) 13 But no one would say anything publicly about him for fear of the leaders.(B)
Jesus Teaches at the Festival
14 Not until halfway through the festival did Jesus go up to the temple courts and begin to teach.(C) 15 The Jews(D) there were amazed and asked, “How did this man get such learning(E) without having been taught?”(F)
16 Jesus answered, “My teaching is not my own. It comes from the one who sent me.(G) 17 Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out(H) whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own. 18 Whoever speaks on their own does so to gain personal glory,(I) but he who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is a man of truth; there is nothing false about him. 19 Has not Moses given you the law?(J) Yet not one of you keeps the law. Why are you trying to kill me?”(K)
20 “You are demon-possessed,”(L) the crowd answered. “Who is trying to kill you?”

King James Version
John 7:12-20
King James Version
12 And there was much murmuring among the people concerning him: for some said, He is a good man: others said, Nay; but he deceiveth the people.
13 Howbeit no man spake openly of him for fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the midst of the feast Jesus went up into the temple, and taught.
15 And the Jews marvelled, saying, How knoweth this man letters, having never learned?
16 Jesus answered them, and said, 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.
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 Did not Moses give you the law, and yet none of you keepeth the law? Why go ye about to kill me?
20 The people answered and said, Thou hast a devil: who goeth about to kill thee?
