John 8:19 Context
17It is also written in your Law, that the testimonie of two men is true. 18I am one that beare witnesse of my selfe, and the Father that sent mee, beareth witnesse of me. 19Then said they vnto him, Where is thy Father? Iesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had knowen mee, yee should haue knowen my Father also. 20These words spake Iesus in the treasury, as hee taught in the Temple: and no man layd hands on him, for his houre was not yet come. 21Then saide Iesus againe vnto them, I goe my way, and ye shall seeke me, & shall die in your sinnes: Whither I goe, ye cannot come.

Wesley's Notes for John 8:19
8:19 Then said they to him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered - Showing the perverseness of their question; and teaching that they ought first to know the Son, if they would know the Father. Where the Father is - he shows, #John 8:23|. Meantime he plainly intimates that the Father and he were distinct persons, as they were two witnesses; and yet one in essence, as the knowledge of him includes the knowledge of the Father.

Joh 8:19 Where is thy Father? Asked in scorn, because he said "the Father beareth witness of me" (Joh 8:18). If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father. The knowledge of Christ leads to a knowledge of the Father. See Joh 14:8.
