John 8:12-20 - Jesus, The Light Of The World
12 So, Jesus spoke to them again [i.e., to the Jewish authorities. See 7:45], saying, "I am the light of the world. The person who becomes my follower will never live in [spiritual] darkness, but have the light of [i.e., for his] life [i.e., followers of Jesus will not live in error and sin but in truth and righteousness]."
13 The Pharisees then said to Him, "[Since] you are giving testimony about yourself, your testimony is not true."
14 Jesus replied to them, "Even if I do give testimony about myself, it is [still] true, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you people do not know where I came from or where I am going. 15 You pass judgment according to human standards; I do not judge anyone [i.e., the way you do it]. 16 And even if I do pass judgment, my judgment is true because I am not alone, for the Father who sent me is with me. 17 Even in your law it is written [Deut. 19:15] that the testimony of two people is true. 18 I am one who gives testimony about myself, and the Father who sent me [is the second witness who] testifies about me."
19 So, the Jewish authorities said to Him, "Where is your father?" Jesus answered, "You people do not know me or my Father. If you [did] know me, you would know my Father also." 20 Jesus spoke these words in the treasury [area of the Temple]. And no one arrested Him because His time had not yet come [i.e., to be turned over to the authorities and killed].
