16 But if I do judge, my decisions are true, because I am not alone. I stand with the Father, who sent me.
16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.
16 Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone who judge, but I and the Father
16 But even if I did, my judgment would be true because I wouldn't make it out of the narrowness of my experience but in the largeness of the One who sent me, the Father.
16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.
16 And if I did, my judgment would be correct in every respect because I am not alone. The Father who sent me is with me.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 8:16
Commentary on John 8:12-16
(Read John 8:12-16)
Christ is the Light of the world. God is light, and Christ is the image of the invisible God. One sun enlightens the whole world; so does one Christ, and there needs no more. What a dark dungeon would the world be without the sun! So would it be without Jesus, by whom light came into the world. Those who follow Christ shall not walk in darkness. They shall not be left without the truths which are necessary to keep them from destroying error, and the directions in the way of duty, necessary to keep them from condemning sin.
