You judge according to the flesh, I judge no one. Yet even if I do judge, my judgment is true, for it is not I alone that judge, but I and he who sent me. In your law it is written that the testimony of two men is true; I bear witness to myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness to me.\u201d They said to him therefore, \u201cWhere is your Father?\u201d Jesus answered, \u201cYou know neither me nor my Father; if you knew me, you would know my Father also.\u201d These words he spoke in the treasury, as he taught in the temple; but no one arrested him, because his hour had not yet come.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211;John 8:12-20<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">One of nature\u2019s most social and playful creatures, river otters have big personalities and even bigger appetites.
