This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
My speech (tēn lalian tēn emēn) and my word (ton logon ton emon). Perhaps lalia, old word from lalos (talk), means here more manner of speech than just story (Joh 4:42), while logos refers rather to the subject matter. They will not listen (ou dunasthe akouein) to the substance of Christ’s teaching and hence they are impatient with the way that he talks. How often that is true.
