John Gill Reformed Baptist @doctorgill

Christ spoke these words openly in the temple treasury, in public view, teaching freely and without fear. Though the Jews had sent officers to seize Him and desired to lay hands on Him, no man did it, His hour had not yet come.

Albert Barnes Presbyterian @notesbybarnes

In law, a man cannot testify for himself; but Jesus is no ordinary witness. He denied Himself, made great sacrifices, and proved His sincerity in every way. When one gives such evidence of coming from God, his own testimony stands. The Father confirms it through the heavenly voice and the miracles, not divided, but one in counsel, essence, and glory.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian @wholebiblehenry

Though the Pharisees turned a deaf ear and opposed Him, Christ spoke again to them: I am the light of the world. One sun enlightens the whole world, and so does one Christ; there needs no more. He is the Sun of righteousness, not the light of the Jewish church only, but of all mankind.
