Juan 8:18

18 Yo soy uno de los testigos, y mi Padre, quien me envió, es el otro.

Juan 8:18 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:18

I am one that bear witness of myself
As he does of his sonship, in ( 1 John 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, ( Isaiah 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 ( 1 John 5:9 ) .

Juan 8:18 In-Context

16 Y, si lo hiciera, mi juicio sería correcto en todo sentido, porque no estoy solo. El Padre,
quien me envió, está conmigo.

17 La misma ley de ustedes establece que, si dos personas concuerdan en algo, su testimonio se acepta como un hecho.

18 Yo soy uno de los testigos, y mi Padre, quien me envió, es el otro.

19 —¿Dónde está tu padre? —le preguntaron.
Jesús contestó:

20 Jesús dijo todo esto mientras enseñaba en la parte del templo conocida como la tesorería, pero no lo arrestaron, porque aún no había llegado su momento.
