Exegesis
The clause peri seautou martureis {περὶ σεαυτοῦ μαρτυρεῖς | per-í se-au-toû mar-tu-reîs} literally reads ‘about Yourself You testify’, with peri marking the object of Jesus’ testimony and the reflexive seautou underscoring its self-referential nature.
In context — John 8:13
Therefore the Pharisees said to Him , “You are testifying about Yourself; Your testimony is not true .”
