John 8:12-20

12Jesus spoke to them again: “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life.”

13So the Pharisees said to him, “You are testifying about yourself. Your testimony is not valid.”

14“Even if I testify about myself,” Jesus replied, “My testimony is true, because I know where I came from and where I’m going. But you don’t know where I come from or where I’m going.

15You judge by human standards. I judge no one.

16And if I do judge, my judgment is true, because it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.

17Even in your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.

18I am the one who testifies about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

19Then they asked him, “Where is your Father?” “You know neither me nor my Father,” Jesus answered. “If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”

20He spoke these words by the treasury, while teaching in the temple. But no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
