I Am the Light of the World

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will certainly not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.” 13 So the Pharisees said to him, “Yoʋ are testifying about yoʋrself, so yoʋr testimony is not valid.” 14 Jesus answered them, “Even if I testify about myself, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going, but you do not know where I come from or where I am going. 15 You judge according to the flesh, but I judge no one. 16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is valid; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me. 17 In your own law it is written that the testimony of two men is valid. 18 I testify about myself, and the Father who sent me also testifies about me.” 19 Then they said to him, “Where is yoʋr father?” Jesus answered, “You neither know me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father as well.” 20 (Jesus spoke these words in the treasury as he taught in the temple courts. But no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.)
