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.  
17 aIt is also written in your law that the testimony of two men is true.  
18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and athe Father who sent Me bears witness of Me.”

John 8:15

After the flesh (kata thn sarka). According to the standards of the flesh (II Corinthians 5:16). The Baptist had said: "There stands one among you whom ye know not" (John 1:26). The Light of the World had come, but they loved darkness rather than light (John 3:19), because the god of this age had blinded their thoughts so that they could not see the illumination of the gospel of the glory of Christ who is the image of God (II Corinthians 4:4).
