Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;If I have said something wrong,<n id="2" /> confirm<n id="3" /> what is wrong.<n id="4" /> But if I spoke correctly, why strike me?&#8221;

For I have not spoken from my own authority,<n id="1" /> but the Father himself who sent me has commanded me<n id="2" /> what I should say and what I should speak.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.<n id="1" /> But they no longer have any excuse for their sin.

Why do you ask me? Ask those who heard what I said.<n id="1" /> They<n id="2" /> know what I said.&#8221;

But since we have the same spirit of faith as that shown in<n id="1" /> what has been written, &#8220;<b><i>I believed; therefore I spokei>b>,&#8221;<n id="2" /> we also believe, therefore we also speak.

<t /><p class="bodytext">Then<n id="1" /> he said to them, &#8220;These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me<n id="2" /> in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms<n id="3" /> must be fulfilled.&#8221;

The one who rejects me and does not accept<n id="1" /> my words has a judge;<n id="2" /> the word<n id="3" /> I have spoken will judge him at the last day.

Jesus replied,<n id="1" /> &#8220;I have spoken publicly to the world. I always taught in the synagogues<n id="2" /> and in the temple courts,<n id="3" /> where all the Jewish people<n id="4" /> assemble together. I<n id="5" /> have said nothing in secret.
