Giovanni 8:16

16 E benchè io giudicassi, il mio giudicio sarebbe verace, perciocchè io non son solo; anzi son io, e il Padre che mi ha mandato.

Giovanni 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.

Giovanni 8:16 In-Context

14 Gesù rispose, e disse loro: Quantunque io testimonii di me stesso, pure è la mia testimonianza verace; perciocchè io so onde io son venuto, ed ove io vo; ma voi non sapete nè onde io vengo, nè ove io vo.

15 Voi giudicate secondo la carne; io non giudico alcuno.

16 E benchè io giudicassi, il mio giudicio sarebbe verace, perciocchè io non son solo; anzi son io, e il Padre che mi ha mandato.

17 Or anche nella vostra legge è scritto, che la testimonianza di due uomini è verace.

18 Io son quel che testimonio di me stesso; e il Padre ancora, che mi ha mandato, testimonia di me.
