Barnes' Notes
Which of you convinceth me? - To convince, with us, means to satisfy a man' s own mind of the truth of anything; but this is not its meaning here. It rather means to convict. Which of you can Proverbs that I am guilty of sin?
Of sin - The word "sin" here evidently means "error, falsehood, or imposture." It stands opposed to truth. The argument of the Saviour is this: A doctrine might be rejected if it could be proved that he that delivered it was an impostor; but as you cannot Proverbs this of me, you are bound to receive my words.
