John 8:13 Douay-Rheims

The Pharisees therefore said to him: Thou givest testimony of thyself: thy testimony is not true.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

Is this made a bad use of by the Manichæans, that our Lord does not say, in the law of God, but, in your law? Who does not recognise here a manner of speaking customary in Scripture? In your law, i. e. the law given to you. The Apostle speaks of his Gospel in the same way, though he testifies to having received it not from men, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
