Thou testifiest of thyself; thy testimony is not valid - They retort upon our Lord his own words, Joh 5:31; if I testify of myself, my testimony is not valid. He had then added, There is another who testifieth of me. To the same effect he replies here, Joh 8:14, Though I testify of myself, yet my testimony is valid; for I am inseparably united to the Father. I know - And from firm and certain knowledge proceeds the most unexceptionable testimony: whence I came, and whither I go - To these two heads may be referred all the doctrine concerning Christ. The former is treated of Joh 8:16, &c, the latter Joh 8:21, &c. For I know whence I came - That is, For I came from God, both as God and as man. And I know it, though ye do not. John 8:15
