John 8:46WEB·traditional attribution

Which of you convicts me of sin? If I tell the truth, why do you not believe me?

Albert Barnes Presbyterian

Prove that I am guilty of sin, meaning error, falsehood, or imposture. His argument is direct: a false doctrine deserves rejection only if the man who teaches it is proven an impostor. You cannot prove this of me, so you are bound to receive my words.

Matthew Henry Presbyterian

I speak what I have seen with my Father, not hearsay, not hypothesis, but the exact counterpart of eternal truth itself. You do what you have seen with your father; and since there are but two families in this world, God's and the devil's, your works declare your parentage as plainly as mine declares mine.
