KJV ORIGINAL

I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

I can't do anything on my own — I only judge based on what I hear from above, and my judgment is fair because I'm not trying to get my own way. I'm here to do what my Father who sent me wants.
