17 ^lIf anyone’s will is to do God’s¹ will, ^mhe will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I ⁿam speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority ^oseeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

28 So Jesus said to them, “When you have ^ulifted up the Son of Man, ^vthen you will know that ^wI am he, and that ^xI do nothing on my own authority, but ^yspeak just as the Father taught me.

49 For ^kI have not spoken on my own authority, but the Father ^lwho sent me has himself given me ^ma commandment—what to say and what to speak. 50 And I know that his commandment is eternal life. What I say, therefore, I say as the Father has told me.”

10 Do you not believe that ^uI am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you ^vI do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works.
