This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 8:21. Πάλιν, again) For He had said so at ch. Joh 7:33, etc., “Ye shall seek Me, and not find Me; and where I am, thither ye cannot come,” when they had plotted against Him, as at this place.-ἀμαρτίᾳ, sin) The Singular: the whole of perdition is one, arising from unbelief, through which all sins flourish, Joh 8:24, “If ye believe not that I am He, ye shall die in your sins” [Plural]. In this place, the emphasis is on the word, sin, which in this verse comes first; afterwards [at Joh 8:24] on the verb ye shall die, which there comes first.-ἀποθανεῖσθε, ye shall die) by death of every kind [spiritual and eternal, of body and soul].-ὑπάγω, I go) Joh 8:22, ch. Joh 13:33; Joh 13:36. [to Simon Peter] “Whither I go, thou canst not follow Me now, but thou shalt follow Me afterwards;” Joh 14:4, “Whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.”
