This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
45. ἐγὼ δὲ ὅτι. But as for Me, because I say the truth, ye believe Me not: ἐγώ is in emphatic contrast to the ψεύστης. Just as the devil ‘stood not in the truth’ because of his natural alienation from it, so they do not accept the truth when Jesus offers it to them. They will listen to the devil (Joh 8:38); they will believe a lie: but the Messiah speaking the truth they will not believe. The tragic tone once more, but more definitely expressed: comp. Joh 1:5; Joh 1:10-11, Joh 2:24; Joh 3:10; Joh 3:19.
