Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins—They knew well enough what He meant (Mark 13:6, Greek; compare Matthew 24:5). But He would not, by speaking it out, give them the materials for a charge for which they were watching. At the same time, one is irresistibly reminded by such language, so far transcending what is becoming in men, of those ancient declarations of the God of Israel, "I AM HE" (Deuteronomy 32:39; Isaiah 43:10, Isaiah 43:13; Isaiah 46:4; Isaiah 48:12). See on John 6:20.
Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, etc.—(See on John 7:33).
