18 I am one who testifies for myself; my other witness is the Father, who sent me."
18 I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me.
18 I am the one who bears witness about myself, and the Father who sent me bears witness about me."
18 And that is what you have: You have my word and you have the word of the Father who sent me."
18 I am One who bears witness of Myself, and the Father who sent Me bears witness of Me."
18 I am one witness, and my Father who sent me is the other."
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 8:18
Commentary on John 8:17-20
(Read John 8:17-20)
If we knew Christ better, we should know the Father better. Those become vain in their imaginations concerning God, who will not learn of Christ. Those who know not his glory and grace, know not the Father that sent him. The time of our departure out of the world, depends upon God. Our enemies cannot hasten it any sooner, nor can our friends delay it any longer, than the time appointed of the Father. Every true believer can look up and say with pleasure, My times are in thy hand, and better there than in my own. To all God's purposes there is a time.
