Gospel
text (John 8,12-20): Jesus
said to the Jews, «I am the Light of the world; the one who follows me will not
walk in darkness, but will have light and life». The Pharisees replied, «Now
you are speaking on your own be-half, your testimony is worthless». Then Jesus
said, «Even though I bear witness to myself, my testimony is true, for I know
where I have come from and where I am going. But you do not know where I came
from or where I am going. You judge by human standards; as for me, I don't
judge anyone. But if I had to judge, my judgment would be valid for I am not
alone: the Father who sent me is with me. In your Law it is written that the
testimony of two witnesses is valid; so I am bearing witness to myself, and the
Father who sent me bears witness to me».
They asked him, «Where is your Father?». Jesus answered, «You don't know me or my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father as well». Jesus said these things when he was teaching in the Temple area, in the place where they received the offerings. No one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.
