John 8:12–20

THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD

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

13 So 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.u 15 You judgev by human standards.C,w I judge no one.x 16 And if I do judge, my judgment is true, because it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me.y 17 Even in your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is true.z 18 I am the one who testifiesaa about myself, and the Father who sent me testifies about me.”

19 Then they asked him, “Where is your Father?”

You know neither me nor my Father,”ab Jesus answered. If you knew me, you would also know my Father.”ac 20 He spoke these words by the treasury,ad while teaching in the temple. But no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
