Commentary on John 8:59

Theological / Devotional

Took they up stones. The question as to where stones could be obtained in the Temple may find its answer in the fact that the Temple of Herod was still in the process of building. A few months later the Jews made another attempt to stone Jesus because He claimed divinity (eh. 10:30-33).

Went out. His hour had not yet come (see on eh. 7:6).
