Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:26
26, 27. I have many things to say and to judge of you; but he that sent me is true, &c.—that is, I could, and at the fitting time, will say and judge many things of you (referring perhaps to the work of the Spirit which is for judgment as well as salvation, :-), but what I do say is just the message My Father hath given Me to deliver. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:28
28-30. When ye have lifted up the Son of man—The plainest intimation He had yet given in public of the manner and the authors of His death. then shall ye know that I am he, &c.—that is, find out, or have sufficient evidence, how true was all He said, though they would be far from owning it. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:29
29. the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him, c.—that is, To you, who gnash upon Me with your teeth, and frown down all open appearance for Me, I seem to stand uncountenanced and alone but I have a sympathy and support transcending all human applause; I came hither to do My Father's will, and in the doing of it have not ceased to please Him; therefore is He ever by Me with His approving smile, His cheering words, His supporting arm. read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:30
30. As he spake these words, many believed on him—Instead of wondering at this, the wonder would be if words of such unearthly, surpassing grandeur could be uttered without captivating some that heard them. And just as "all that sat in the council" to try Stephen "saw his face"—though expecting nothing but death—"as it had been the face of an angel" ( :-), so may we suppose that, full of the sweet supporting sense of His Father's presence, amidst the rage and scorn of the rulers, a divine... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:31
31-33. Then said Jesus to those Jews who believed, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed, &c.—The impression produced by the last words of our Lord may have become visible by some decisive movement, and here He takes advantage of it to press on them "continuance" in the faith, since then only were they His real disciples (compare John 15:3-8), and then should they experimentally "know the truth," and "by the truth be made (spiritually) free." read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:33
33. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man, c.—Who said this? Not surely the very class just spoken of as won over by His divine words, and exhorted to continue in them. Most interpreters seem to think so but it is hard to ascribe such a petulant speech to the newly gained disciples, even in the lowest sense, much less persons so gained as they were. It came, probably, from persons mixed up with them in the same part of the crowd, but of a very different... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:34
34, 35. Whosoever committeth sin—that is, liveth in the commission of it—(Compare 1 John 3:8; Matthew 7:23). is the servant of sin—that is, the bond-servant, or slave of it; for the question is not about free service, but who are in bondage. (Compare 2 Peter 2:19; Revelation 6:16). The great truth here expressed was not unknown to heathen moralists; but it was applied only to vice, for they were total strangers to what in revealed religion is called sin. The thought of slaves and freemen in the... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:35
35. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, but the Son abideth ever—that is, "And if your connection with the family of God be that of BOND-SERVANTS, ye have no natural tie to the house; your tie is essentially uncertain and precarious. But the SON'S relationship to the FATHER is a natural and essential one; it is an indefeasible tie; His abode in it is perpetual and of right: That is My relationship, My tie: If, then, ye would have your connection with God's family made real,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - John 8:24
24. if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins—They knew well enough what He meant (Mark 13:6, Greek; compare Matthew 24:5). But He would not, by speaking it out, give them the materials for a charge for which they were watching. At the same time, one is irresistibly reminded by such language, so far transcending what is becoming in men, of those ancient declarations of the God of Israel, "I AM HE" (Deuteronomy 32:39; Isaiah 43:10; Isaiah 43:13; Isaiah 46:4; Isaiah 48:12). See on... read more
