Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go.15
Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man.16
And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.17
