John 8:12-19 (NRSV)
12Again
Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows
me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life." 13Then
the Pharisees said to him, "You are testifying on your own behalf; your
testimony is not valid." 14Jesus answered, "Even if
I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid because I know where I
have come from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from
or where I am going. 15You judge by human standards I judge no
one. 16Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for it is
not I alone who judge, but I and the Father who sent me. 17In
your law it is written that the testimony of two witnesses is valid. 18I
testify on my own behalf, and the Father who sent me testifies on my behalf."
19Then they said to him, "Where is your Father?" Jesus
answered, "You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would
know my Father also."
