John 8:12-20

I Am the Light of the World

12 aAgain Jesus spoke to them, saying, bI am the light of the world. Whoever cfollows me will not dwalk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 13So the Pharisees said to him, eYou are bearing witness about yourself; your testimony is not true.” 14Jesus answered, Even if I do bear witness about myself, fmy testimony is true, for I know gwhere I came from and hwhere I am going, but iyou do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 jYou judge according to the flesh; kI judge no one. 16Yet even if I do judge, lmy judgment is true, for mit is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father

who sent me.
17 oIn your Law it is written that the testimony of two people is true. 18I am the one who bears witness about myself, and pthe Father who sent me bears witness about me.” 19They said to him therefore, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, q“You know neither me nor my Father. rIf you knew me, you would know my Father also.” 20These words he spoke in sthe treasury, as he taught in the temple; but tno one arrested him, because uhis hour had not yet come.
