Giovanni 8:27 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:27

They understood not that he spake to them of the Father.
] That sent him, and who was true and faithful to all he had said, whether in a way of promise, or threatening; such was their stupidity, that they did not know that he meant God the Father by him that sent him, so deriving his mission and doctrine from him; their hearts were made fat, and hardened, and their eyes were blinded. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "they did not know that he said, God was his Father"; and so Beza's most ancient copy, and another exemplar of his.

Giovanni 8:27 In-Context

25 Laonde essi gli dissero: Tu chi sei? E Gesù disse loro: Io sono quel che vi dico dal principio.
26 Io ho molte cose a parlare, ed a giudicar di voi; ma colui che mi ha mandato è verace, e le cose che io ho udite da lui, quelle dico al mondo.
27 Essi non conobbero che parlava loro del Padre.
28 Gesù adunque disse loro: Quando voi avrete innalzato il Figliuol dell’uomo, allora conoscerete che io son desso, e che non fo nulla da me stesso; ma che parlo queste cose, secondo che il Padre mi ha insegnato.
29 E colui che mi ha mandato è meco: il Padre non mi ha lasciato solo; poichè io del continuo fo le cose che gli piacciono.
