John 8:12-16

Jesus Is the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "¹I am the Light of the world; ²he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

13 So the Pharisees said to Him, "³You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true."

14 Jesus answered and said to them, "⁴Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know ⁵where I came from and where I am going; but ⁶you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

15 "⁷You judge according to the flesh; ⁸I am not judging anyone.

16 "But even ⁹if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.
