Matthew Poole and continuators on John 8:18

18 I am one that bear witness of my self, and the Father that sent me, beareth witness of me .

I (saith our Saviour) have two Witnesses; I am one, I bear Witness of my self: My Father is another, for he beareth Witness of me. Our Saviours Argumentation seemeth weak, unless we look upon him as exempt from the condition of ordinary men, and no mere man, by reason of the Personal Union of the Divine and Humane Nature in his Person. Nor must our Saviour be understood here to distinguish himself from his Father, in respect of his Divine Being; for so he and his Father are one: But in respect of his Office, as he was sent, and his Father was he who sent him. And indeed in the whole he seemeth to accommodate himself to the Peoples apprehensions of him.
