14. Jesus answered, “Yes, I am saying these things about myself, but they are true. I know where I came from. And I know where I am going. You don’t know where I came from or where I am going.
15. You judge me the way you would judge any man. I don’t judge anyone.
16. But if I judge, I judge truthfully. 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, then 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.”
19. They asked, “Where is your father?”Jesus answered, “You don’t know me or my Father. But if you knew me, then you would know my Father, too.”
20. Jesus said these things while he was teaching in the Temple. He was near the place where the money that the people give is kept. But no one arrested him. The right time for Jesus had not yet come.
