Exegesis
The main assertion follows: alethes estin he marturia mou {ἀληθής ἐστιν ἡ μαρτυρία μου | a-lē-thḗs é-stin hē mar-tu-rí-a mou} ‘My testimony is true’, where the predicate adjective alethes precedes the subject he marturia mou for emphasis on the quality “true.”
In context — John 8:14
Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness concerning Myself, My testimony is true , because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.”
