John 8:16
Yea and if I judge ( κα εαν κρινω δε εγω ). "And even if I pass judgment." Condition of third class again.True (althin). See 1:9 for αληθινος, genuine, soundly based (cf. δικαια in 5:30), "satisfying our perfect conception" (Westcott), not merely true ( αληθες ) in the particular facts (verse 14).
For I am not alone ( οτ μονος ουκ ειμ ). Jesus now takes up the technical criticism in verse 13 after justifying his right to speak concerning himself.
But I and the Father that sent me ( αλλ εγω κα ο πεμψας με πατηρ ). See 16:32 for a like statement about the Father being with Christ. It is not certain that πατηρ is genuine here (omitted by Aleph D, but in B L W), but the Father is clearly meant as in 7:18, 33. Jesus gives the Father as the second witness.
