Jesus answered them and said: My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. 7:17.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh the glory of him that sent him, he is true and there is no injustice in him. 7:19.

Jesus answered and said to them: One work I have done: and you all wonder. 7:22.
