Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 8:30-36

30-36 Such power attended our Lord's words, that many were convinced, and professed to believe in him. He encouraged them to attend his teaching, rely on his promises, and obey his commands, notwithstanding all temptations to evil. Thus doing, they would be his disciples truly; and by the teaching of his word and Spirit, they would learn where their hope and strength lay. Christ spoke of spiritual liberty; but carnal hearts feel no other grievances than those that molest the body, and distress... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - John 8:1-99

John 8 HOWEVER, THEY FELT that they had decisively settled the point, and they retired to the comfort of their own homes, whilst Jesus, the Word made flesh, without a home, spent the night on the Mount of Olives. Returning early in the morning to the temple, He was confronted by some of these very opponents with a case which, they hoped, would impale Him on the horns of a dilemma. The crowd might be ignorant of the law and cursed; they knew the law right well and thought themselves blessed by... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - John 8:31-33

The True Liberty of the Gospel. John 8:31-James : Bondage and liberty: v. 31. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in My Word, then are ye My disciples indeed; v. 32. and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. v. 33. They answered Him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man; how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? Many of the Jews had indeed come to faith, but their minds were still held in the bondage of a carnal... read more

IVChrist The Liberator, As Son Of The House In Opposition To Servants; The One Sent From God, As Against The Agents Of The Devil; The Eternal And The Hope Of Abraham As Against The Bodily Seed Or Abraham.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 8:31-38

the Source of True Liberty John 8:31-38 Sin is not a necessary part of our being. The servant abideth not in the house for ever. Your child is an integral part of the household; he has become one with it. However far he travels, he can never break the link of indissoluble connection. But it is different with a servant, especially under the provisions of the Levitical law. In like manner, a man may have served sin, but, though tightly held, it has no necessary rights over him. The trumpet of... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - John 8:1-59

The end of chapter 7 is closely linked with this, in that after declaring "every man went to his own house," the writer said, "But Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives." Here we have the story of a return to the Temple, and of Jesus' dealing with the woman in the presence of the rulers. With matchless skill He showed that these men had no right' to judge this woman. This He did Himself in matchless grace. At verse Joh 8:12 we have a continuation of the line of thought broken off by the... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - John 8:12-42

The Light of the World John 8:12-42 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Jesus Christ the Life, was the Light. When we study-John 1:1-4 , we think of Christ in the beginning as the Word, creating by His command all things, for "without Him was not any thing made that was made." In Him was life; that is, He possessed inherent life, and as such He was the Creator of life. There follows a marvelous conclusion: the Life that was before all things was also the Light. We remember that before He ever created the... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:32

FREEDOM THROUGH THE TRUTH‘Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.’ John 8:32 This is the eternal answer to the protests of modern unbelief. Let us examine the words ( a) reverently, ( b) candidly, and ( c) charitably. The promise is as to those who continue in our Saviour’s words. I. What is the truth as here set forth?( a) A body of facts, not a statement of feelings.( b) Not the assertion of a set of opinions, but the revelation of a Person. II. Freedom.—‘The truth... read more

Chapter 8 Jesus - The Light of the World and the ‘I am’ (John 8:12-59 ). In this chapter Jesus is revealed as ‘the Light of the World’. This is a reminder of the one spoken of in the words of Isaiah, ‘the people who walked in darkness have seen a great light, those who dwell in the land of deep darkness, on them has the light shone’, and significantly Isaiah’s words were spoken concerning Galilee of the nations (Isaiah 9:2). And this light would be One born to be the coming King (Isaiah... read more

‘Jesus therefore said to those Judaisers who had believed in him, “If you dwell in my word then are you my disciples indeed, and you will know the truth and the truth will make you free”.’ Jesus then spoke a word to some of the Judaisers who had showed some response to Him, ‘If you persevere in and meditate on my teaching, you are truly my disciples, and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free’. It was a glorious promise of hope. The truth was now open to them, and if they... read more
