约翰福音 8:32-36 CUVS

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:34

Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin - Or, δουλος εστι , etc., is the slave of sin. This was the slavery of which Christ spoke; and deliverance from it, was the liberty which he promised. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:35

And the servant abideth not in the house - Or, rather, Now the slave abided not in the family. As if Jesus had said: And now that I am speaking of a slave, I will add one thing more, viz. a slave has no right to any part of the inheritance in the family to which he belongs; but the son, the legitimate son, has a right. He can make any servant of the family free, though no slave can. He can divide or bestow the inheritance as he pleases. Our Lord seems here to refer to the sending away of... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:32

Verse 32 32.And you shall know the truth. He says, that they who have arrived at some knowledge of it shall know the truth True, those whom Christ addresses were as yet uneducated, and scarcely knew the first elements, and therefore we need not wonder if he promises them a more full understanding of his doctrine. But the statement is general. Wherefore, whatever progress any of us have made in the Gospel, let him know that he needs new additions. This is the reward which Christ bestows on their... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:33

Verse 33 33.We are Abraham’s seed. It is uncertain if the Evangelist here introduces the same persons who formerly spoke, (235) or others. My opinion is, that they replied to Christ in a confused manner, as usually happens in a promiscuous crowd; and that this reply was made rather by despisers than by those who believed. It is a mode of expression very customary in Scripture, whenever the body of a people is mentioned, to ascribe generally to all what belongs only to a part. Those who object... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:34

Verse 34 34.Every man who committeth sin is the slave of sin. This is an argument drawn from contrary things. They boasted that they were free. He proves that they are the slaves of sin, because, being enslaved by the desires of the flesh, they continually sin. It is astonishing that men are not convinced by their own experience, so that, laying aside their pride, they may learn to be humble. And it is a very frequent occurrence in the present day, that, the greater the load of vices by which a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:35

Verse 35 35.Now the slave remaineth not in the house always. He adds a comparison, taken from the laws and from political law, to the effect that a slave, though he may have power for a time, yet is not the heir of the house; from which he infers that there is no perfect and durablefreedom, but what is obtained throughthe Son In this manner he accuses the Jews of vanity, because they hold but a mask instead of the reality; for, as to their being Abraham ’s offspring, they were nothing but a... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:36

Verse 36 36.If then the Son shall make you free. By these words he means that the right of freedom belongs to himself alone, and that all others, being born slaves, cannot be delivered but by his grace. For what he possesses as his own by nature he imparts to us by adoption, when we are ingrafted by faith into his body, and become his members. Thus we ought to remember what I said formerly, that the Gospel is the instrument by which we obtain our freedom So then ourfreedom is a benefit... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:30-32

The bondage of the Jews, and the source of true liberty. The effect of the previous discourse was remarkable. I. THE INTELLECTUAL ACCEPTANCE OF JESUS BY THE JEWS . "As he spake these words, many believed on him." They accepted his statements, and believed him to be the Messiah. They were not, however, true believers, because Jesus afterwards represents them as seeking to kill him ( John 8:37 ). II. THE COUNSEL OF OUR LORD TO THE NEW CONVERTS .... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:31-32

(4) The test Christ supplied to those who admitted his testimony—true discipleship and freedom. Jesus therefore said to the Jews who had believed him —or, had become believing, and were now waiting for some special sign that their belief of his words was to be immediately rewarded by some closer conformity between his next step and their own prepossessions— If ye abide in my word, then are ye truly my disciples. Short of making the word of Jesus the resting place for both heart and... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:31-32

True Christian discipleship. I. IN ITS CONDITIONS . These are: 1 . The possession of Christ ' s Word. 2 . A vital possession of Christ ' s Word. The possession is not merely outward and intellectual, but inward and spiritual. The Word must be in the soul, and the soul in the Word. Christ is in the Christian, and the Christian is in Christ. Christ's Word is in his disciple, and the disciple is in his Word. Both mean the same, only in the latter prominence is given to... read more
