John 8:12-18

12 Jesus spoke to the Pharisees again. "I am the light of the world," he said. "Whoever follows me will have the light of life and will never walk in darkness." ¹

13 The Pharisees said to him, "Now you are testifying on your own behalf; what you say proves nothing." ²

14 "No," Jesus answered, "even though I do testify on my own behalf, what I say is true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. You do not know where I came from or where I am going.

15 You make judgments in a purely human way; I pass judgment on no one.

16 But if I were to do so, my judgment would be true, because I am not alone in this; the Father who sent me is with me.

17 It is written in your Law that when two witnesses agree, what they say is true. ³

18 I testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me also testifies on my behalf."
