John Chapter 8, Verse 17
From BibleWiki
17: και εν τω νομω δε τω υμετερω γεγραπται οτι δυο ανθρωπων η μαρτυρια αληθης εστιν
17: It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men
is true.
17: And in your law it is written that the testimony of two men is
true.
In your law. Deut 17:6, Deut 19:15. Comp. Mt 18:16. This related to cases in which the life of an individual was involved. Jesus says that if, in such a case, the testimony of two men were sufficient to establish a fact, his own testimony and that of his Father ought to be esteemed ample evidence in the case of religious doctrine.
Two men.. If two men could confirm a case, the evidence of Jesus and of God ought not to be deemed insufficient.
Is true. In Deuteronomy, "established." This means the same thing. It is confirmed; is worthy of belief.
