John 8:16

16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is valid because I don't make it on my own. I make my judgment 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 replied to them, "Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is true because I know where I came from and where I'm going. However, you don't know where I came from or where I'm going.

15 You judge the way humans do. I don't judge anyone.

16 Even if I do judge, my judgment is valid because I don't make it on my own. I make my judgment with the Father who sent me.

17 Your own teachings say that the testimony of two people is true.

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