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 8:28-30

The distinguishing sign: v. 28. Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of Man, then shall ye know that I am He, and that I do nothing of Myself; but as My Father hath taught Me, I speak these things. v. 29. And He that sent Me is with Me; the Father hath not left Me alone; for I do always those things that please Him. v. 30. As He spake these words, many believed on Him. In spite of all the enmity and the lack of understanding, the Lord continues to proclaim His... read more

Again therefore Jesus spoke to them [πάλιν οὗν αὐτοῖς ἐλάλησεν ὁ ̓Ιησοῦς].—The connection varies according as the section on the adulteress is regarded as in its true place or interpolated.On the supposition of its interpolation Meyer construes thus (and Lücke): “After the Sanhedrin had failed in their attempt to get possession of Jesus, and had become divided among themselves, as is related in John 7:45-52, Jesus... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 8:21-30

the Father Made Known in His Son John 8:21-30 Our Lord was absorbed in acquiring glory for His Father. He was sent by the Father, lived by the Father, could do nothing of Himself, and spoke only as the Father taught Him, John 8:28 . He could dispense with all human help and stand alone, because the Father never left Him, John 8:29 . To honor Him, please Him, work His works, live in His love, was the passion of His life, John 8:29 ; John 8:49 . There was a mystery in all this that baffled the... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:12-59

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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:21-30

Jesus Is From Above (John 8:21-30 ). The emphasis now moves away from the fact that He is the light of the world, to the fact that He is the One Who has come from above. That is why their failure to recognise Him is very much an indication that they are of this world. This is a new incident, although following closely on the last. read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:29

“And he who sent me is with me. He has not left me alone, for I always do what pleases him.” In spite of His rejection by them He wants them to know that He is conscious that the Father is continually with Him. They may reject Him but His Father will not desert Him or leave Him on His own. Indeed He is with Him continually. For He is pleased with what He is doing. For as Jesus stresses, He always does what pleases Him. His whole life is given up to pleasing the Father. His words remind us of... read more
