John 8:12-19
12ThenG3767 JesusG2424 againG3825 spokeG2980 to them, sayingG3004, “1I amG1510 the LightG5457 of the worldG2889; 2the one who followsG190 Me will not walkG4043 in the darknessG4653, but will haveG2192 the LightG5457 of lifeG2222.”
13SoG3767 the PhariseesG5330 saidG3004 to Him, “3You are testifyingG3140 aboutG4012 YourselfG4572; Your testimonyG3141 is not 4trueG227.”
14JesusG2424 answeredG611 and saidG3004 to them, “5EvenG2579 ifG2579 I am testifyingG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, My testimonyG3141 is 6trueG227, becauseG3754 I knowG3609 7whereG4159 I cameG2064 from and whereG4226 I am goingG5217; but 8you do not knowG3609 whereG4159 I comeG2064 from orG2228 whereG4226 I am goingG5217.
159You judgeG2919 10accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561; 11I am not judgingG2919 anyoneG3762.
16But evenG2532 12ifG1437 I do judgeG2919, My judgmentG2920 is trueG228; for I amG1510 not aloneG3441 in it, but I and the Father who sentG3992 Me.
17EvenG2532 in 13your LawG3551 it has been writtenG1125 that the testimonyG3141 of 14twoG1417 peopleG444 is 15trueG227.
18I amG1510 He who testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 MyselfG1683, and 16the FatherG3962 who sentG3992 Me testifiesG3140 aboutG4012 Me.”
19SoG3767 they were sayingG3004 to Him, “WhereG4226 is Your FatherG3962?” JesusG2424 answeredG611, “You knowG3609 neitherG3777 Me norG3777 My FatherG3962; 17ifG1487 you knewG3609 Me, you would knowG3609 My FatherG3962 alsoG2532.”
