John 8:12-20 - Jesus, The Light Of The World
12 Once more Jesus addressed them. "I am the light of the world," he said; "He who follows me shall not walk in the darkness, but he shall have the Light of life."
13 Then said the Pharisees to him. "You are bearing testimony to yourself; your testimony is not true."
14 In reply Jesus said to them. "Even if I do bear testimony to concerning myself, my testimony is true, because I know where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I have come from, or where I am going. 15 "For you are judging according to the flesh. I am judging no man. 16 "Though even if I do judge, my judgment is trustworthy, because I am not alone, but the Father who sent me is with me. 17 "And in your Law it is written that the testimony of two men is true. 18 "I am one who gives testimony concerning myself, and the Father who sent me gives testimony concerning me."
19 "Where is your Father?" they asked him. "You have neither known me nor my Father," answered Jesus. "If you had known me, you would have known my father also." 20 He said these words in the Treasury, while he was teaching in the Temple; yet no one arrested him, because his hour was not yet come.
