约翰福音 8:27 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - John 8:21-30

Christ here gives fair warning to the careless unbelieving Jews to consider what would be the consequence of their infidelity, that they might prevent it before it was too late; for he spoke words of terror as well as words of grace. Observe here, I. The wrath threatened (John 8:21): Jesus said again unto them that which might be likely to do them good. He continued to teach, in kindness to those few who received his doctrine, though there were many that resisted it, which is an example to... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 8:21-30

8:21-30 So he said to them again: "I am going away, and you will search for me, and you will die in your sin. You cannot come where I am going." So the Jews said: "Surely he is not going to kill himself, because he is saying: 'You cannot come where I am going'?" He said to them: "You are from below, but I am from above. You belong to this world, but I do not belong to this world. I said to you that you will die in your sins. For if you will not believe that I am who I am, you will die in your... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 8:21-30

Jesus goes on to draw a series of contrasts. His opponents belong to earth, he is from heaven; they are of the world; he is not of the world. John frequently talks about the world; the word in Greek is kosmos ( Greek #2889 ). He uses it in a way that is all his own. (i) The kosmos ( Greek #2889 ) is the opposite of heaven. Jesus came from heaven into the world ( John 1:9 ). He was sent by God into the world ( John 3:17 ). He is not of the world; his opponents are of the world (... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - John 8:21-30

There is no verse in all the New Testament more difficult to translate than John 8:25 . No one can really be sure what the Greek means. It could mean: "Even what I have told you from the beginning," which is the meaning the Revised Standard Version takes. Other suggested translations are: "Primarily, essentially, I am what I am telling you." "I declare to you that I am the beginning." "How is it that I even speak to you at all?" which is the translation of Moffatt. It is suggested in our... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - John 8:27

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. That sent him, and who was true and faithful to all he had said, whether in a way of promise, or threatening; such was their stupidity, that they did not know that he meant God the Father by him that sent him, so deriving his mission and doctrine from him; their hearts were made fat, and hardened, and their eyes were blinded. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "they did not know that he said, God was his Father"; and so Beza's most... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:27

Verse 27 27.They did not know that he spoke to them about the Father. Hence we see how stupid those men are whose understandings are possessed by Satan. Nothing could be more plain than that they were summoned to the judgment-seat of God. But what then? They are altogether blind. This happens daily to other enemies of the Gospel; and such blindness ought to instruct us to walk with fear. (229) read more

A still clearer revelation in store for them. I. JESUS HAS A STILL FULLER REVELATION TO GIVE THEM OF THEIR MORAL CONDITION . I have many things to say and to judge concerning you." 1 . His judgment is true. "But he that sent me is true." He only declares the judgment of his Father concerning their actions. 2 . The Jews could not recognize the Divine origin of this judgment. "They understood not that he spake to them of the Father." II. HIS ... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - John 8:27

They understood (perceived) not that he spake to them of the Father . This difficult parenthesis of the evangelist calls attention to the fact that, during the immediately preceding discourse and controversy, Jesus had dropped his references to the Father, and had used the periphrasis, "he that sent me," probably suggesting to this strangely excited populace, fed with weird fancies and wild expectations, that the mysterious Being with whom they were conversing was but the Delegate of One... read more

They understood not - They knew not, or they were unwilling to receive him as a messenger from God. They doubtless understood that he meant to speak of God, but they were unwilling to acknowledge that he really came from God. read more
