What does John 7:29 mean?
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 7:28-29
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 on John 7:25-30
Christ proclaimed aloud, that they were in error in their thoughts about his origin. He was sent of God, who showed himself true to his promises. 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.
