Juan 8:15

15 Vosotros juzgáis según la carne; yo no juzgo a nadie.

Juan 8:15 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:15

Ye judge after the flesh
According to their carnal affections and prejudices; taking the Messiah to be a temporal prince, and his kingdom to be of this world, they judged that Jesus could not be he; they looked upon him as a mere man, and seeing him in much outward meanness, in his human nature, they judged of him according to this outward appearance: or "ye" that are "after the flesh judge"; to which sense the Persic version agrees, "for ye are carnal"; and so judged as carnal men, who are very improper persons to judge of spiritual things:

I judge no man;
in the same way, after the flesh, or in a carnal manner, nor according to outward appearances, according to the sight of the eyes, or the hearing of the ears: Christ did not take upon him to judge and determine in civil affairs, or in things pertaining to a court of judicature among men; this was not his province; an instance of this there is in the context, in not condemning the woman brought to him; nor did he judge the persons and states of men, or proceed to pass any sentence of condemnation on them; he came not to condemn, but save the world; this was not his business now; otherwise, all judgment is committed to him, and which he will exercise another day.

Juan 8:15 In-Context

13 Entonces los fariseos le dijeron: Tú das testimonio de ti mismo; tu testimonio no es verdadero.

14 Respondió Jesús y les dijo: Aunque yo doy testimonio de mí mismo, mi testimonio es verdadero, porque yo sé de dónde he venido y adónde voy; pero vosotros no sabéis de dónde vengo ni adónde voy.

15 Vosotros juzgáis según la carne; yo no juzgo a nadie.

16 Pero si yo juzgo, mi juicio es verdadero; porque no soy yo solo, sino yo y el Padre que me envió.

17 Aun en vuestra ley está escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es verdadero.
