The Pharisees, therefore Namely, some of them who were then present, but different persons from those who had brought in the woman, being enraged at the late disappointment of their brethren; said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself And therefore, by thine own confession, thy record Or testimony, rather, as μαρτυρια signifies; is not to be admitted as true But may rather be suspected of vain glory. They retort upon our Lord his own words, (John 5:31,) If I testify of myself, my testimony is not true. He then added, There is another who testifieth of me. To the same effect he replies here, (John 8:14,) Though I testify of myself, yet my testimony is true 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, John 8:16, &c.; the latter, John 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.
