v.18

¹⁸
I am one 
who testifies for myself.
My other witness is the Father, 
who sent me."

It's amazing, how JC is brave enough to appeal to God, as an
immediate witness. For him this Father-figure God is accessible
and for any one, without mediation of religious rituals. Exactly
like thus for the prophets.The Pharisee Law does not have the
option for any one to appeal to this living God as legalized power.
JC's perspective of God is not base on the Pharisee Law or teaching.
It's coming from somewhere else. Perhaps we even say: JC was no
jew at all.
