Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
μαρτυρεῖ περὶ ἐμοῦ ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ
/is/_testifying about me the /having/_sent me Father
In addition to Jesus himself, God the Father also testifies about Jesus. Jesus thus implies that his testimony is true, because there are two witnesses. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: “my Father, who sent me, also brings evidence about me. So you should believe that what we tell you is true” or “my Father, who sent me, also testifies about me. Therefore, my testimony is true”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ὁ πέμψας με Πατήρ

Here, this phrase refers to God. See how you translated this phrase in verse 16.
