This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 8:16. Ἡ κρίσις ἡ ἐμή, My judgment) The same principle holds good of judgment as of testimony: Joh 8:14; Joh 8:17, “Though I bear record of Myself, yet My record is true;-the testimony of two-is true;” ch. Joh 5:30, etc., “As I hear I judge; and My judgment is just, because I seek not Mine own will, but the will of the Father.-There is another that beareth witness of Me,” etc. The testimony is in reference to God and the Son of God; the judgment is in reference to men.-ἀληθής, true) not according to the flesh, Joh 8:15.-μόνος οὐκ εἰμί, I am not alone) even in judging. Comp. ch. Joh 5:19, “The Son can do nothing of Himself, but what He seeth the Father do; for what things soever He doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.”-ὁ πέμψας με, He who hath sent Me) By this very expression He intimates whence He came.
