John 8:12-18

I Am the Light of the World

12 ¹Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, ²"I am the light of the world. Whoever ³follows me will not ⁴walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

13 So the Pharisees said to him, ⁵"You are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true."

14 Jesus answered, "Even if I do bear witness about myself, ⁶my testimony is true, for I know ⁷where I came from and ⁸where I am going, but ⁹you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

15 ¹⁰You judge according to the flesh; ¹¹I judge no one.

16 Yet even if I do judge, ¹²my judgment is true, for ¹³it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father^[a] who sent me.

17 ¹⁴In your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true.

18 I am the one who bears witness about myself, and ¹⁵the Father who sent me bears witness about me."
