John 8:51 - Forerunner Commentary

John 8:51

49 Jesus answered, “I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and ^ayou dishonor Me.

50 And ^aI do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

51 Most assuredly, I say to you, ^aif anyone keeps My word he shall never see death.”

52 Then the Jews said to Him, “Now we know that You ^ahave a demon! ^bAbraham is dead, and the prophets; and You say, ‘If anyone keeps My word he shall never taste death.’

53 Are You greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? And the prophets are dead. ^aWho do You make Yourself out to be?”

54 Jesus answered, ^a“If I honor Myself, My honor is nothing. ^bIt is My Father who honors Me, of whom you say that He is¹ your God.
