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.
