Bible verse
The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
John 7:15 · BSB
The verses around it, from John 7.
11 So the Jews were looking for Him at the feast and asking, “Where is He?”
12 Many in the crowds were whispering about Him. Some said, “He is a good man.” But others replied, “No, He deceives the people.”
13 Yet no one would speak publicly about Him for fear of the Jews.
14 About halfway through the feast, Jesus went up to the temple courts and began to teach.
15 The Jews were amazed and asked, “How did this man attain such learning without having studied?”
16 “My teaching is not My own,” Jesus replied. “It comes from Him who sent Me.
17 If anyone desires to do His will, he will know whether My teaching is from God or whether I speak on My own.
18 He who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory, but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is a man of truth; in Him there is no falsehood.
19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet not one of you keeps it. Why are you trying to kill Me?”
