John 7:16 in Context — John 7

14 Vers le milieu de la fête, Jésus monta au temple. Et il enseignait.

15 Les Juifs s’étonnaient, disant: Comment connaît-il les Écritures, lui qui n’a point étudié?

16 Jésus leur répondit: Ma doctrine n’est pas de moi, mais de celui qui m’a envoyé.

17 Si quelqu’un veut faire sa volonté, il connaîtra si ma doctrine est de Dieu, ou si je parle de mon chef.

18 Celui qui parle de son chef cherche sa propre gloire; mais celui qui cherche la gloire de celui qui l’a envoyé, celui-là est vrai, et il n’y a point d’injustice en lui.
