The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:41-47

True spiritual paternity. Notice— I. THEIR MISTAKEN SPIRITUAL PATERNITY . "We have one Father, even God." This in a sense is true. 1 . They failed to recognize his connection with God. 2 . They failed to understand his message. Although 3 . They failed to believe him and his message. Although: 4 . These sad failures flatly contradict their pretended relationship to God. ( John 8:42-47 .) II. THEIR TRUE SPIRITUAL PATERNITY . "Ye are of your... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:45

Then, turning to these children of the wicked one, Christ delivered a tremendous denunciation: But because I say the truth— because I am the Organ, Utterance, and Incarnation of the truth— ye believe me not . If he spake lies to them, they would greedily receive them. The very cause of their lack of credence is the utterance of truth. The "I" is emphatic, and set over against the "you" of the second clause. There is a tragic force about this charge almost unparalleled, implying the most... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:46

Which of you convieteth me of sin? ἐλέγχω is used in the sense of John 16:6-8 (see note)—Which of you can justify a charge of sin against me? can bring it home to me or others? Sin ( ἁμαρτία ) is not mere "error," as Erasmus and some others have urged, because the word throughout the New Testament (and in the classics when not accompanied by some explanatory term) always means "contrariety to the will of God," moral offence not intellectual defect (so Meyer, Luthardt, Godet,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:46

The sinlessness of Christ. Had our Lord Jesus been guilty of sin (the very thought is to a Christian mind inexpressibly shocking!), he could not have been all that he actually is to us. As God manifest in the flesh, as the ideal Man, as the all-sufficient Saviour, Christ must needs have been without sin. I. THE WITNESS OF MEN TO OUR LORD 'S SINLESSNESS . 1 . That of his friends and apostles. Peter designated him "the Holy One and the Just," "who did no sin;" John,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 8:46

Which of you convinceth me? - To convince, with us, means to satisfy a man’s own mind of the truth of anything; but this is not its meaning here. It rather means to convict. Which of you can prove that I am guilty of sin?Of sin - The word “sin” here evidently means “error, falsehood, or imposture.” It stands opposed to truth. The argument of the Saviour is this: A doctrine might be rejected if it could be proved that he that delivered it was an impostor; but as you cannot prove this of me, you... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - John 8:44-47

John 8:44-47. Ye are of your father the devil Ye are the genuine children of Satan; and the lusts Τας επιθυμιας , the desires; of your father ye will do Namely, resolutely and obstinately, as the words, θελετε ποιειν , evidently imply. The account which Josephus gives of the wickedness of the Jews, about this time, abundantly vindicates this assertion of our Lord from any appearance of undue severity. He was a murderer Greek, ανθρωποκτονος , man-slayer, or man-killer; from the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 8:31-59

91. True freedom; true sonship (John 8:31-59)Jesus used an illustration from slavery to show the people how he could help them in their need. They all knew that slaves could not free themselves. The only person who could free them was the owner of the house in which the slave worked, or the owner’s son, acting on his father’s authority. The Jews were slaves, in bondage to sin and unable to free themselves. The only one who could free them was God, acting through his Son Jesus. They would find... read more
