John 8:16

Read in context

John 8:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

15 You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

16 But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

17 Even in your own Law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid.

18 I am One who testifies about Myself, and the Father, who sent Me, also testifies about Me.”
