John 8:51

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.

Barnes' Notes

<< John 8:50

John 8:52 >>

If a man keep my saying - If he believes on me and obeys my commandments.

He shall never see death - To see death, or to taste of death, is the same as to die, Luke 2:26; Matthew 16:28; Mark 9:1. The sense of this passage is, "He shall obtain eternal life, or he shall be raised up to that life where there shall be no death." See John 6:49-50; John 3:36; John 5:24; John 11:25-26.
