Exegesis
The concessive clause Kan ego marturo peri emautou {Κἂν ἐγὼ μαρτυρῶ περὶ ἐμαυτοῦ | Kàn e-gṓ mar-tu-rō̂ pe-rí e-mau-toû} ‘even if I bear witness about Myself’ uses Kan to introduce a hypothetical condition that Jesus grants for the sake of argument.
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.”
