John 8:14 Context
12¶ Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenesse, but shall haue the light of life. 13The Pharisees therefore said vnto him, Thou bearest record of thy selfe, thy record is not true. 14Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Though I beare record of my selfe, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I goe: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe. 15Yee iudge after the flesh, I iudge no man. 16And yet if I iudge, my iudgement is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

People's Bible Notes for John 8:14
Joh 8:14 My record is true. The Pharisees disputed this. Ordinarily the testimony of a man that he is sent from God is insufficient. He may be deceived or a deceiver. But Jesus could not be deceived, for he knew all things; nor a deceiver, for he was Truth. Besides, he had other testimony (Joh 8:18).
