Commentary on John 8:14

Theological / Devotional

My record is true. A man’s self-witness is not necessarily false. The testimony of an honest man would be reliable. Jesus, being who He was, a divine Being, and proceeding from God, who cannot he (Titus 1 :2), would naturally speak the truth. But the Jews made Him out to be an ordinary man. They acknowledged neither His divine origin nor His destiny. Furthermore, if a collateral witness was required, He had one. The Father, who sent Him, was with Him (John 8:16, 18; see on ch. 5:31-39).
