Bible Commentary for John 8:53

Wesley's Notes for John 8:53


8:51 If a man keep my word - So will my Father consult my glory. We keep his doctrine by believing, his promises by hoping, his command by obeying. He shall never see death - That is, death eternal. He shall live for ever. Hereby he proves that he was no Samaritan; for the Samaritans in general were Sadducees.

8:54 If I honour myself - Referring to their words, Whom makest thou thyself?
