John 8:12–20

“I Am the Light of the World”

¹²Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ⁱ“I am the light of the world. He who ^jfollows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

¹³The Pharisees therefore said to Him, ^k“You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not ³true.”

¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but ^lyou do not know where I come from and where I am going. ^15mYou judge according to the flesh; ⁿI judge no one. ¹⁶And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for ^oI am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. ^17pIt is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. ¹⁸I am One who bears witness of Myself, and ^qthe Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

¹⁹Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”

Jesus answered, ^r“You know neither Me nor My Father. ^sIf you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”

²⁰These words Jesus spoke in ^tthe treasury, as He taught in the temple; and ^uno one laid hands on Him, for ^vHis hour had not yet come.
