John 7:17 in Context — John 7

15 E maravilhavam-se os Judeus, dizendo: Como este sabe as Escrituras, não as havendo aprendido?

16 Respondeu-lhes Jesus, e disse: Minha doutrina não é minha, mas sim daquele que me enviou.

17 Se alguém quiser fazer sua vontade, da doutrina conhecerá, se é de Deus, ou [se] eu falo de mim mesmo.

18 Quem fala de si mesmo busca sua própria honra; mas quem busca a honra daquele que o enviou, esse é verdadeiro, e não há nele injustiça.

19 Não vos deu Moisés a Lei? Mas ninguém de vós cumpre a Lei. Por que procurais me matar?
