John 8:13-20
King James Version
13 The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true.
14 Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.
15 Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
17 It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true.
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
20 These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come.

Jesus Defends His Self-Witness
13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, (A)“You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not [a]true.”
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but (B)you do not know where I come from and where I am going. 15 (C)You judge according to the flesh; (D)I judge no one. 16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for (E)I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me. 17 (F)It is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true. 18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and (G)the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”
19 Then they said to Him, “Where is Your Father?”
Jesus answered, (H)“You know neither Me nor My Father. (I)If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also.”
20 These words Jesus spoke in (J)the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and (K)no one laid hands on Him, for (L)His hour had not yet come.
