12. Then again he spoke to them, saying, Ani Hu HaOhr HaOlam Hazeh. The one following me will never walk in choshech, but will have the Ohr HaChayyim. [Isa 9:1; 42:8; 49:6, 60:1,3 Prov 4:18]
13. Therefore, the Perushim said to him, You give solemn edut (testimony) about yourself. But your edut is not ne'emanah.
14. In reply, he said to them, Even if I give solemn edut about myself, my edut is ne'emanah, because I have da'as of where I came from and where I go, but you have no da'as of where I come from or where I go.
15. You judge according to the basar; I do not judge anyone. [1Sm 16:7]
16. But even if I judge, my psak din, my mishpat, is emes, because it is not I alone but the One having sent me, HaAv.
17. And it has been written even in your Torah, that the edut (testimony) of two is ne'emanah. [Dt 17:6; 19:15]
18. Ani Hu the one giving solemn edut (testimony) about myself and the One having sent me, HaAv, gives solemn edut about me.
19. Therefore, they were saying to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, Where is HaAv of you? In reply, he said, You have da'as of neither me nor HaAv of me. If you had had da'as of me, you would have had da'as of HaAv of me.
