John 8:16

16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is truthful, because I'm not alone. My judgments come from me and from the Father who sent me.

John 8:16 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:16

And yet if I judge, my judgment is true
Because he saw not as man did, nor looked unto, and judged according to the outward appearance of things; but looked into the heart, and knew what was in it, being the searcher and trier of it; to whom all things are naked and open, and therefore cannot be deceived or imposed upon; his judgment must be sure and infallible:

for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me;
he was not separate from the Father, or at a distance from him, when he was here on earth; he was in his bosom, and in heaven, as the Son of God, when as the son of man, he was below; nor was he alone in his testimony and judgment, the Father joined with him therein: and which is a further proof of the truth of his testimony, and the certainty of his judgment.

John 8:16 In-Context

14 Jesus replied, "Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is true, since I know where I came from and where I'm going. You don't know where I come from or where I'm going.
15 You judge according to human standards, but I judge no one.
16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is truthful, because I'm not alone. My judgments come from me and from the Father who sent me.
17 In your Law it is written that the witness of two people is true.
18 I am one witness concerning myself, and the Father who sent me is the other."
