Joh 8:13. Εἶπον, said) with undisguised importunity.-περὶ σεαυτοῦ, concerning Thyself) They bring up against the Lord His own words, comp. ch. Joh 5:31, “If I bear witness of Myself, My witness is not true,” but in a perverted sense.-ἀληθής, true) An abbreviated mode of expression. A man can speak the truth concerning himself; but that is not wont to be deemed as a sufficient testimony. But the Jews, in order that they may the more vehemently contradict Him, pretend that the testimony of Jesus is not even true.
