As for the question of the origin of a saying attributed to Jesus, the obvious answer is that Jesus said it. If it's in the Book of John, however, that may not be a correct answer. John is the least well authenticated of the Gospels. It attributes many sentences to Jesus that he probably never spoke. ~rb
