John 8:16

16 "But if I do judge, what I decide is right. This is because I am not alone. I stand with 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 answered, "Even if I give witness about myself, my witness does count. I know where I came from. And I know where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.
15 You judge by human standards. I don't judge anyone.
16 "But if I do judge, what I decide is right. This is because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.
17 Your own Law says that the witness of two is what counts.
18 I give witness about myself. My other witness is the Father, who sent me."
