Commentary

Commentary on John 8:37

Theological / Devotional

Abraham’s seed. The fact of literal descent could not be disputed (cf. v. 33).

Kill me. See eh. 7:1 , 19, 25; etc. The fact that the Jews were plotting murder was evidence that they were slaves of sin (see on John 8:34; cf. Rom. 6:16).

My word hath no place. Compare the phrase “continue in my word” (v. 31). The Jews were unwilling to accept the message of Jesus, a message that would have freed them from the slavery of sin (see on v. 32).
