John 8:16

16 et si iudico ego iudicium meum verum est quia solus non sum sed ego et qui me misit Pater

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.

15 vos secundum carnem iudicatis ego non iudico quemquam

16 et si iudico ego iudicium meum verum est quia solus non sum sed ego et qui me misit Pater

17 et in lege vestra scriptum est quia duorum hominum testimonium verum est

18 ego sum qui testimonium perhibeo de me ipso et testimonium perhibet de me qui misit me Pater
