John 8:12-14

New International Reader's Version

Challenge to What Jesus Says About Himself

¹² Jesus spoke to the people again. He said, “I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in darkness. They will have that light. They will have life.”

¹³ The Pharisees argued with him. “Here you are,” they said, “appearing as your own witness. But your witness does not count.”

¹⁴ Jesus answered, “Even if I am a witness about myself, what I say does count. I know where I came from. And I know where I am going. But you have no idea where I come from or where I am going.
