{Yea and if I judge} (kai ean krin(9320)de eg(935c)). "And even if
I pass judgment." Condition of third class again. {True}
(al(8874)hin(8829). See 1:9 for al(8874)hinos, genuine, soundly based
(cf. dikaia in 5:30 ), "satisfying our perfect conception"
(Westcott), not merely true (al(8874)hes) in the particular facts
(verse 14 ). {For I am not alone} (hoti monos ouk eimi). 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} (all eg(9320)kai ho pempsas me pat(8872)). See
16:32 for a like statement about the Father being with Christ.
It is not certain that pat(8872) 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.
