Even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for I am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent me.

EXPLANATION

Verse 16. I am not alone. Christ does not here say that he is the Father and he is the Son, he only says that he is not alone, but that the Father is with him, plainly distinguishing the two Persons. The Father is truly the Father, and the Son truly the Son, not one elder or greater than the other, but both entirely equal in all perfections. One in substance, co-eternal, and of one perfect equality. Saint Augustine
