John 7:13
none spake openly of him—that is, in His favor, "for fear of the [ruling] Jews."
11 Then athe Jews sought Him at the feast, and said, “Where is He?”
12 And athere was much complaining among the people concerning Him. bSome said, “He is good”; others said, “No, on the contrary, He deceives the people.”
13 However, no one spoke openly of Him afor fear of the Jews.
14 Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and ataught.
15 aAnd the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?”
16 1Jesus answered them and said, a“My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me.
17 aIf anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority.
