John 8:14-16
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I do testify on my own behalf, my testimony can be verified,[a] because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I come from or where I am going.(A) 15 You judge by appearances,[b] but I do not judge anyone.(B) 16 And even if I should judge, my judgment is valid, because I am not alone, but it is I and the Father who sent me.(C)
Read full chapterFootnotes
- 8:14 My testimony can be verified: this seems to contradict Jn 5:31, but the emphasis here is on Jesus’ origin from the Father and his divine destiny. Where I am going: indicates Jesus’ passion and glorification.
- 8:15 By appearances: literally, “according to the flesh.” I do not judge anyone: superficial contradiction of Jn 5:22, 27, 30; here the emphasis is that the judgment is not by material standards.

14 Jesus answered, “Even if I testify on my own behalf, my testimony is valid, for I know where I came from and where I am going.(A) But you have no idea where I come from(B) or where I am going. 15 You judge by human standards;(C) I pass judgment on no one.(D) 16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.(E)
