This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Joh 8:55. Οἶδα) He had lately said, οὐκ ἐγνώκάτε· now He says, not ἐγιωκα but οἶδα· ἔγνωκα implies in some degree a beginning to know [I come to know]: but the Son’s knowledge of the Father is eternal: He knows the Father and the glory [honour] which the Father hath assigned to Him.-ψεύστης, a liar) He is a liar, who either affirms what he ought to deny, or denies what he ought to affirm.-οἶδα αὐτόν, καὶ τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ τηρῶ, I know Him, and keep His saying) First He saith, I know; then afterwards, I keep: for He is the Son. But believers, under His direction, keep the word, and so acquire knowledge; ch. Joh 7:17, notes, “If any man will do His will, he shall know of the doctrine,” etc.
