John 8:26

I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him.

I have {G2192} many things {G4183} to say {G2980} and {G2532} to judge {G2919} of {G4012} you {G5216}: but {G235} he that sent {G3992} me {G3165} is {G2076} true {G227}; and I {G2504} speak {G3004} to {G1519} the world {G2889} those things {G5023} which {G3739} I have heard {G191} of {G3844} him {G846}.

There are many things I could say about you, and many judgments I could make. However, the One who sent me is true; so I say in the world only what I have heard from him.”

“I have much to say about you and much to judge. But the One who sent Me is truthful, and what I have heard from Him, I tell the world.”

I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you: howbeit he that sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these speak I unto the world.
