Jesus therefore answered them, and said, My teaching is not mine, but his that sent me.

If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the teaching, whether it is of God, or whether I speak from myself.

He that speaketh from himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

They sought therefore to take him: and no man laid his hand on him, because his hour was not yet come.

[And they went every man unto his own house:

And this they said, trying him, that they might have whereof to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

And again he stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground.

These words spake he in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man took him; because his hour was not yet come.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and standeth not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father thereof.

The Jews therefore did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and had received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight,

His parents answered and said, We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind:

but how he now seeth, we know not; or who opened his eyes, we know not: ask him; he is of age; he shall speak for himself.

These things said his parents, because they feared the Jews: for the Jews had agreed already, that if any man should confess him to be Christ, he should be put out of the synagogue.
