The witness that Jesus is talking about is his Heavenly Father Jehovah God bearing witness. As we read at John 5:30-32
30 I (Jesus) cannot do a single thing of my own initiative; just as I hear, I judge; and the judgment that I render is righteous, because I seek, not my own will, but the will of him (Jehovah God) that sent me. 31 "If I (Jesus) alone bear witness about myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another that bears witness about me, and I know that the witness which he (Jehovah) bears about me is true.
Other scriptures that back up that information is as follows:
(Matthew 3:17) Look! Also, there was a voice from the heavens that said: "This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved."
(Mark 9:7) And a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud: "This is my Son, the beloved; listen to him."
(John 12:30) In answer Jesus said: "This voice has occurred, not for my sake, but for YOUR sakes.
(John 17:3) This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God (Jehovah), and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.
(1 John 5:9) If we receive the witness men give, the witness God gives is greater, because this is the witness God gives, the fact that he has borne witness concerning his Son.
