John 8:16

16 And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with 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 "Even if I am giving testimony about myself," replied Jesus, "my testimony is true; for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you know neither of these two things.
15 You judge according to appearances: I am judging no one.
16 And even if I do judge, my judgement is just; for I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me.
17 In your own Law, too, it is written that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one giving testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony about me."
