Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 8:31-32

John 8:31-32. If ye continue in my word, &c.— "If you persevere in the belief and practice of my word, you are really my disciples, and have a just title to that honourable appellation. Moreover, you shall be fully instructed in every doctrine of the gospel, called here and elsewhere, by way of eminence, Truth; see Ch. Joh 1:17 and so being related to me as my disciples, and experimentally understanding my gospel, you shall be made free, not only from the slavery of sin, and all its... read more

John 8:33. We be Abraham's seed, &c.— "Then some of those who had professed to believe in him taking it as a high affront, that he should speak as if he thought them to be slaves, said to him in a vaunting manner, We are the descendants of the celebrated patriarch Abraham, who, being a sovereign prince, and a man in covenant with God, entailed all civil and religious freedom upon us, as our birthright; and we never lost it bybeing enslaved to any foreign power, (which was a most gross... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 8:34

John 8:34. Whosoever committeth sin, &c.— Ποιει αμαρτιαν, doeth, or practiseth sin: to do, in the Hebrew dialect, imports not the present act only, but the habit of doing. Hence some render this, Whosoever practises sin, is the servant, Δουλος, the slave of sin.—There are no greater slaves than those who give themselves up to a vicious kind of life, and to the gratification of their sinful appetites. See Romans 6:16. 2 Peter 2:19. read more

John 8:35. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever:— "As a slave cannot be so assured of his master's favour, as to depend upon it that he shall never be turned out of the family, since he is always his master's property, and in his power, to sell or keep him as he shall think fit; so my Father can, when he pleases, turn you, who are habitual sinners, out of his family, and deprive you of the outward economy of religion in which you glory; because through sin you have made yourselves... read more

John 8:36. If the Son therefore shall make you free,— "The only way to arrive at the relationship above mentioned,—to become children of God, is to believe in and submit to the authority of his Son; in which case the Son will adopt you as co-heirs with himself. If the Son shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed; free from the slavery of sin, free to do good; free in respect of your right to the inheritance, and free in your possession of present privileges and present blessing." read more

John 8:37. I know that ye are Abraham's seed;— "I know that ye are the seed of Abraham by natural descent, as Ishmael also was; but morally ye are the offspring of the devil; and in every respect unlike Abraham in your temper and disposition; as is plain from hence, that many of you are endeavouring to kill me, because I enjoin a sanctity of soul which you are not willing to acquire." The original, which we render, hath no place in you, signifies, profits you not,—hath no weight or influence... read more

John 8:40. Now ye seek to kill me, &c.— "If ye were the spiritual progeny of Abraham, ye would resemble that great and good man in his righteousness; and therefore instead of seeking to take away the life of any one who is come to you from God with a revelation of his will, much less that of the true Messiah, you would believe on him in imitation of Abraham; who for his faith in all the divine revelations, and his obedience to all the divine commands, however hard they were to flesh and... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 8:41

John 8:41. We be not born of fornication, &c.— The Jews, it seems, perceived at length that Jesus talked not so much of natural, as of spiritual bondage; and replied, "In that respect undoubtedly we are the children of God, as we are not born of fornication;" alluding to the marriage covenant, which in scripture is represented to have subsisted between God and the Jewish nation; and by which their obligation to reverence, love, and obey him, was held forth to them in a lively manner, "We... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - John 8:42

John 8:42. I proceeded forth and came from God;— "I originally proceeded from God the Father as his only-begotten Son, partaker of the same nature with him, and am come into the world immediately from him: I did not come merely of myself, like a false prophet, but by commission from him, who sent me, as the Messiah, to make known the way of salvation, and to do his will upon earth." We must observe the difference between what Christ here says of himself, and what is ever said of any other:... read more

John 8:43. Why do ye not understand my speech, &c.?— The latter clause of this verse may likewise be translated and pointed interrogatively; Why do ye not understand my speech, λαλιαν,— the spiritual stile that I make use of? Is it because you cannot hear my word? cannot give obedience thereto, it being contrary to your lusts? Or, can you pretend to say,that I decline giving you the most public and frequent instructions, or that those instructions are unintelligible and obscure? Your... read more
