John 8:16 Douay-Rheims

And if I do judge, my judgment is true: because I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me.

John Gill

1697–1771 Reformed

I am one that bear witness of myself,.... As he does of his sonship, in Jo1 5:7. And the Father that sent me, beareth witness of me; as he did, by the descent of the Spirit upon him at his baptism, and by a voice from heaven, both at that time, and at his transfiguration, and by the miracles which he wrought; and particularly he bore testimony of him, long before, in prophecy, that he was the light of the world he now said he was, Isa 42:6; so that here were two testifiers, his Father and himself; which show them to be two distinct divine persons, and equal to each other: and now if the testimony of two men is true, firm, and authentic, and to be depended upon and received, then much more the testimony of two divine persons; see Jo1 5:9.
