John 8:14

¹² Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”

¹³ So the Pharisees said to Him, “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not valid.”

Jesus replied, “Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came from or where I am going.

¹⁵ You judge according to the flesh; I judge no one.

¹⁶ But even if I do judge, My judgment is true, because I am not alone; I am with the Father who sent Me.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
