Jesus, the Son of God, has authority because of his special relationship with his Father. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples)

I am not alone

The implied information is that Jesus is not alone in his judgment. Alternate translation: "I am not alone in how I judge" or "I do not judge alone" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)

I am with the Father who sent me

The Father and the Son judge together. Alternate translation: "the Father who sent me also judges with me" or "the Father who sent me judges as I do"
