John 8:18 Commentary - Garner-Howes Baptist Commentary

1) "I am one that bear witness of myself," (ego eimi ho marturon peri emautou) "I am (exist as) one who witnesses concerning myself," as a witness number one, a good witness, would you not agree? Joh 8:12; Joh 8:14; Joh 10:10; Joh 10:28. He is that narrow or restricted way that leads to life, Mat 7:14; Act 4:12.

2) "And the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.'' (kai marturei peri emou ho pempsas me pater) "And the Father, the one who sent me, he witnesses concerning me," as witness number two, also a good witness, would you not agree? Mat 3:16-17; Mat 17:5; 2Pe 1:17. He not only witnessed but also keeps on witnessing of Jesus through the Word, the Holy Spirit, the believer and the church-bride, Rev 22:17.
