F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - John 8:12-20

the Twofold Witness John 8:12-20 On either side of the Temple court stood a huge golden candelabrum. On the first and each succeeding night of the week of the Feast of Tabernacles these were lit, and they poured a brilliant flood of light over the Temple and the city. It was to these that our Lord alluded in John 8:12 . They were symbolic and intended to recall the pillar of cloud which led the pilgrim march through the desert, and at night disclosed a heart of illuminating lire. Our Lord... 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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:12

‘THE LIGHT OF LIFE’‘The light of life.’ John 8:12‘Light’ and ‘life’ are words which have a strange connection everywhere. Even in the natural world, there must be ‘light’ if there would be ‘life.’ And if you take away ‘light’ out of ‘life,’ it is a poor thing to live. And so it is in a man’s inner and truer being. There is no ‘light’ without ‘life’; and there is no ‘life’ without ‘light.’ And the one fountain, from which both are eternally flowing on together, is the Lord Jesus Christ. We will... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - John 8:21

SEEKING IN VAIN‘We shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins.’ John 8:21 This verse contains a thought so deep that we cannot fathom it. We learn that it is possible to seek Christ in vain. Our Lord says to the unbelieving Jews, ‘Ye shall seek Me, and shall die in your sins.’ He meant, by these words, that the Jews would one day seek Him in vain. The lesson is a very painful one. That such a Saviour as the Lord Jesus, so full of love, so willing to save, should ever be sought ‘in vain,’ is a... read more

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

‘Again therefore Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world, he who follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life”.’ Note that this next section commences with the introductory words, ‘Again Jesus spoke to them’. ‘Spoke to them’ refers to the large crowd in John 7:43. The controversy with the Pharisees continues. Here Jesus declares openly, while speaking to the crowds in the Temple treasury (presumably the place where the large trumpet shaped collecting... read more

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's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:13

‘The Pharisees therefore said to him, “You bear witness of yourself, your witness is not true”.’ The Pharisees were not, however, pleased. They recognised the enormity of His claim, and they replied, ‘You testify about yourself. What you say is not true’. They were no doubt appalled that a man should claim to be the light of the world, and that in the context of the festal light which pointed to the presence of God with His people as revealed by that light. In their eyes it was almost as though... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - John 8:14

‘Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I do bear witness of myself, my witness is true, for I know from where I came and where I am going”.’ Jesus reply is that in His case the general principle is not true. This is because ‘I know where I have come from and where I am going’. This made Him a special case. As the heavenly Son of Man (John 3:13), who had come from Heaven and would return to Heaven, He had authority to testify about Himself, and indeed it was necessary, for no other man on... read more
