John 8:14 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

John 8:14

12 Then Jesus spoke to them again, saying, ^a“I am the light of the world. He who ^bfollows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.”

Jesus Defends His Self-Witness

13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, ^a“You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not¹ true.”

14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but ^ayou do not know where I come from and where I am going.

15 ^aYou judge according to the flesh; ^bI judge no one.

16 And yet if I do judge, My judgment is true; for ^aI am not alone, but I am with the Father who sent Me.

John 8:13-19

bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true—How does He meet this specious cavil? Not by disputing the wholesome human maxim that "self-praise is no praise," but by affirming that He was an exception to the rule, or rather, that it had no application to Him.
