John 8:12–20

¹²Again, therefore, Jesus spake to them, saying, ‘I am the light of the world; he who is following me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the light of the life.’ ¹³The Pharisees, therefore, said to him, ‘Thou of thyself dost testify, thy testimony is not true;’ ¹⁴Jesus answered and said to them, ‘And if I testify of myself—my testimony is true, because I have known whence I came, and whither I go, and ye—ye have not known whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵‘Ye according to the flesh do judge; I do not judge any one, ¹⁶and even if I do judge my judgment is true, because I am not alone, but I and the Father who sent me; ¹⁷and also in your law it hath been written, that the testimony of two men are true; ¹⁸I am one who is testifying of myself, and the Father who sent me doth testify of me.’ ¹⁹They said, therefore, to him, ‘Where is thy father?’ Jesus answered, ‘Ye have neither known me nor my Father: if me ye had known, my Father also ye had known.’ ²⁰These sayings spake Jesus in the treasury, teaching in the temple, and no one seized him, because his hour had not yet come.
