John 8:13 Context
11She saide, No man, Lord. And Iesus saide vnto her, Neither doe I condemne thee: Goe, and sinne no more. 12¶ Then spake Iesus againe vnto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth mee, shall not walke in darkenesse, but shall haue the light of life. 13The Pharisees therefore said vnto him, Thou bearest record of thy selfe, thy record is not true. 14Iesus answered, and said vnto them, Though I beare record of my selfe, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I goe: but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I goe. 15Yee iudge after the flesh, I iudge no man.

Wesley's Notes for John 8:13
8:13 Thou testifiest of thyself; thy testimony is not valid - They retort upon our Lord his own words, #John 5:31|; if I testify of myself, my testimony is not valid. He had then added, There is another who testifieth of me. To the same effect he replies here, #John 8:14|, Though I testify of myself, yet my testimony is valid; for I am inseparably united to the Father. I know - And from firm and certain knowledge proceeds the most unexceptionable testimony: whence I came, and whither I go - To these two heads may be referred all the doctrine concerning Christ. The former is treated of #John 8:16|, &c, the latter John 8:21, &c. For I know whence I came - That is, For I came from God, both as God and as man. And I know it, though ye do not.
