Yea and if I judge (kai ean krinw de egw). "And even if I pass judgment." Condition of third class again.
True (alˆthinˆ). See John 1:9 for alhqinov, genuine, soundly based (cf. dikaia in John 5:30), "satisfying our perfect conception" (Westcott), not merely true (alhqev) in the particular facts (verse John 8:14).
For I am not alone (oti monov ouk eimi). Jesus now takes up the technical criticism in verse John 8:13 after justifying his right to speak concerning himself.
But I and the Father that sent me (all egw kai o pemyav me pathr). See John 16:32 for a like statement about the Father being with Christ. It is not certain that pathr is genuine here (omitted by Aleph D, but in B L W), but the Father is clearly meant as in John 7:18, John 7:33. Jesus gives the Father as the second witness.
