John 8:46 NIV

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - John 8:43-59

Why do ye not understand my speech; even because ye cannot hear my word. (44) Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. (45) And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. (46) Which of you convinceth me of sin? and if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? (47) He... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - John 8:41-47

41-47 Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves and others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin men's souls. He is the great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, and promising freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liars resemble and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion for ever. The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of... 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 8:42-47

The true ancestry of the Jews: v. 42. Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love Me; for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of Myself, but He sent Me. v. 43. Why do ye not understand My speech? Even because ye cannot hear My Word. v. 44. Ye are of your father, the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his... 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. Or: The Liberator Of Israel, The Adversary Of Satan, The Hope Of Abraham. A Great Swinging From Faith To Unbelief.

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 8:39-47

the Test of Sonship John 8:39-47 Godly ancestors and parents will avail nothing, unless we are animated by their spirit and do their works. There were in the old world two families that ran in parallel lines-that of Cain and that of Seth. See Genesis 4:1-26 ; Genesis 5:1-32 . The Cainites were citizens of this world; the Sethites were pilgrims of the eternal. The one family finally reached such a pitch of wickedness that they were swept away by the flood, while the other furnished the world... 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

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:46

THE SINLESSNESS OF CHRIST‘Jesus said, which of you convinceth Me of sin?’ John 8:46 It is well for us that we should once more assure ourselves of the supernatural claim of Christ. And the words of the text bring home to us part of the stupendous peculiarity of this claim. ‘Which of you convinceth Me of sin?’ He claims to be sinless. Humble penitence grows in the life of a saint. How is it, then, that with our Lord the very reverse is the case? How is it that He is absolutely unconscious of... read more

Peter Pett

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 8:31-47

The Children of Abraham and the Children of the Devil (John 8:31-47 ). Note how the argument is presented in stages as the case builds up against he Scribes and Pharisees. It had begun with the revelation of Himself as the Light of the world, a light which they had failed to see and respond to (John 8:12-20). It had continued with the fact that He was the One Who had come from above, One Whom they had failed to discern and listen to (John 8:21-30). Now the accusation becomes more blatant. The... read more
