This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Joh 8:48. Ἀπεκρίθησαν, they answered) with a most unjust retort, in the forms of cavil which they had so frequently used.-οὐ καλῶς λέγομεν ἡμεῖς, do not we well say?) They utter this awful insult with some degree of fear as yet.-Σαμαρείτης, a Samaritan) an alien from the true God of the true Israel. Jesus replies at the close of the 54th verse and in the following verses, “It is My Father that honoureth Me, of whom ye say, that He is your God: Yet ye have not known Him, but I know Him.”-συ) thou, they say, no we.-δαιμόνιον, a demon) So they said, who supposed, that the words of Jesus flowed from a foolish pride and assumption. Thus is made clear the reference of those things which Jesus replies in Joh 8:49, etc., “I have not a devil, but I honour My Father,” etc., “and I seek not Mine own glory.”
