George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - John 8:26

And the things I have heard from him, &c. For Christ, to hear from his Father, to see, &c. is the same as to proceed from him, to be of the same nature and substance. See chap. v, ver. 19. (Witham) read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 8:21-29

21-29 Those that live in unbelief, are for ever undone, if they die in unbelief. The Jews belonged to this present evil world, but Jesus was of a heavenly and Divine nature, so that his doctrine, kingdom, and blessings, would not suit their taste. But the curse of the law is done away to all that submit to the grace of the gospel. Nothing but the doctrine of Christ's grace will be an argument powerful enough, and none but the Spirit of Christ's grace will be an agent powerful enough, to turn us... 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 8:21-27

Christ's going to the Father: v. 21. Then said Jesus again unto them, I go My way, and ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins; whither I go, ye cannot come. v. 22. Then said the Jews, Will He kill Himself? because He saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. v. 23. And He said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. v. 24. I said therefore unto you that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I am He, yes hall die in... 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
