This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
14. κἂν ἐγὼ μ. Even if I should bear witness. Strong emphasis on ἐγώ. God can testify respecting Himself, and there are truths to which He alone can testify. Yet He condescends to conform to the standard of human testimony, and adds to His witness the words and works of His incarnate Son; who in like manner can bear witness of Himself, being supported by the witness of the Father (Joh 8:16).

ποῦ ὑπάγω. By Death and Ascension. Ὑμεῖς is emphatic: they knew neither the whence nor the whither of their own lives, and how could they know His? Throughout the chapter we find ἐγώ and ὑμεῖς in constant opposition.
