Connecting Statement:
Jesus begins to respond to the Jews.
in the name of my Father
Here "name" is a metonym for the power of God. Here "Father" is an important title for God. Jesus performed miracles through his Father's power and authority. Alternate translation: "through my Father's power" or "with my Father's power" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/guidelines-sonofgodprinciples)
these testify concerning me
His miracles offer proof about him like a person who testifies would offer proof in a court of law. Alternate translation: "these offer proof concerning me" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-personification)
