12. Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, "I am the light of the world. Those who follow me will never walk in darkness. They will have the light that leads to life."
13. The Pharisees argued with him. "Here you are," they said, "appearing as your own witness. But your witness does not count."
14. Jesus answered, "Even if I give witness about myself, my witness does count. I know where I came from. And I know where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.
15. You judge by human standards. I don't judge anyone.
16. "But if I do judge, what I decide is right. This is because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.
17. Your own Law says that the witness of two is what counts.
18. I give witness about myself. My other witness is the Father, who sent me."
19. Then they asked him, "Where is your father?" "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."
