12. Later, Jesus talked to the people again. He said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never live in darkness. They will have the light that gives life.”
13. But the Pharisees said to Jesus, “When you talk about yourself, you are the only one to say that these things are true. So we cannot accept what you say.”
14. Jesus answered, “Yes, I am saying these things about myself. But people can believe what I say, because I know where I came from. And I know where I am going. But you don’t know where I came from or where I am going.
15. You judge me the way people judge other people. I don’t judge anyone.
16. But if I judge, my judging is true, because when I judge I am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
17. Your own law says that when two witnesses say the same thing, you must accept what they say.
18. I am one of the witnesses who speaks about myself. And the Father who sent me is my other witness.”
