John 8:12-20

12Once more Jesus addressed the crowd. He said, “I am the Light of the world. He who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.”

13Then the Pharisees told Him, “You are testifying on Your own behalf; Your testimony is not valid.”

14Jesus replied, “Even if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

15You judge according to human standards [just by what you see]. I do not judge anyone.

16But even if I do judge, My judgment is true and My decision is right; for I am not alone [in making it], but I and the Father who sent Me [make the same judgment].

17Even in your own law it is written that the testimony of two persons is true [valid and admissible].

18I am One [of the Two] who testifies about Myself, and My Father who sent Me testifies about Me.”

19Then the Pharisees said to Him, “Where is this Father of Yours?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

20Jesus said these things in the treasury, as He taught in the temple [courtyard]; and no one seized Him, because His time had not yet come.
