John 8:12-20

12Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, “1I am the Light of the world; 2he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life.” 13So the Pharisees said to Him, “3You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not 4true.” 14Jesus answered and said to them, “5Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is 6true, for I know 7where I came from and where I am going; but 8you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 9You judge 10according to the flesh; 11I am not judging anyone. 16But even 12if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. 17Even in 13your law it has been written that the testimony of 14two men is 15true. 18I am He who testifies about Myself, and 16the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.” 19So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; 17if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.” 20These words He spoke in 18the treasury, as 19He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because 20His hour had not yet come.
