Context
16Ndipo Yesu akawajibu, “Mafundisho yangu si yangu mwenyewe, bali yanatoka kwake yeye aliyenituma. 17Mtu yeyote akipenda kufanya mapenzi ya Mungu, atajua kama mafundisho yangu yanatoka kwa Mungu au ninasema kwa ajili yangu mwenyewe. 18Wale wanenao kwa ajili yao wenyewe hufanya hivyo kwa kutaka utukufu wao wenyewe. Lakini yeye atafutaye utukufu wa yule aliyemtuma ni wa kweli, wala hakuna uongo ndani yake. 19Je, Mose hakuwapa ninyi sheria? Lakini hakuna hata mmoja wenu anayeishika hiyo sheria. Kwa nini mnataka kuniua?” 20Ule umati wa watu ukamjibu, “Wewe una pepo mchafu! Ni nani anayetaka kukuua?”
