Notes

Jesus responded to the Pharisees' accusations. He said he could make these claims about himself because he knew both his origin and his destination were heaven. He then said the most important witness for his case was his Father who sent him (8:16).

The debate about whether Jesus is the Messiah continues from 7:52. Jesus remained at the Feast of Tabernacles in Jerusalem. During the feast, the conflicts Jesus encountered in chapter 7 continued and intensified.
