Contradiction with John 5:30
This verse suggests that Jesus can do nothing on his own, but only seeks the will of the Father, whereas John 7:16 implies His teachings come directly from God.
John 5:30: I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.
Contradiction with John 8:28
In this verse, Jesus states He does nothing on his own authority, yet John 7:16 suggests the teaching is His.
John 8:28: Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am [he], and [that] I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things.
Contradiction with John 10:30
Jesus asserts that He and the Father are one, suggesting a shared authority, contradicting the notion of derived teaching authority in John 7:16.
John 10:30: I and [my] Father are one.
Contradiction with John 12:49
This verse indicates that Jesus speaks not from his own authority, which contrasts with the implication in John 7:16 that His teaching is not His own invention.
John 12:49: For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
Contradiction with John 14:10
Here, Jesus states He is in the Father and the Father in Him, suggesting unity rather than a distinction in the source of teaching as in John 7:16.
John 14:10: Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
