Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

28, 29. cried Jesus-in a louder tone, and more solemn, witnessing style than usual.

Ye both, &c.-that is, "Yes, ye know both Myself and My local parentage, and (yet) I am not come of Myself."

but he that sent me is true, &c.-Probably the meaning is, "He that sent Me is the only real Sender of any one."

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

This declaration, that they knew not God, with his claim to peculiar knowledge, provoked the hearers; and they sought to take him, but God can tie men's hands, though he does not turn their hearts.
