John 7:17 in Context — John 7

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.
