John 8:12-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² Again therefore, Jesus spoke to them, saying: I am the light of the world: he that followeth me, walketh not in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

¹³ The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.

¹⁴ Jesus answered, and said to them: Although I give testimony of myself, my testimony is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go: but you know not whence I come, or whither I go.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh: I judge not any man.

¹⁶ And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

¹⁷ And in your law it is written, that the testimony of two men is true.

¹⁸ I am one that give testimony of myself: and the Father that sent me giveth testimony of me.

¹⁹ They said therefore to him: Where is thy Father? Jesus answered: Neither me do you know, nor my Father: if you did know me, perhaps you would know my Father also.

²⁰ These words Jesus spoke in the treasury, teaching in the temple: and no man laid hands on him, because his hour was not yet come.
