João 8:15

15 Vocês julgam por padrões humanos; eu não julgo ninguém.

João 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.

João 8:15 In-Context

13 Os fariseus lhe disseram: “Você está testemunhando a respeito de si próprio. O seu testemunho não é válido!”

14 Respondeu Jesus: “Ainda que eu mesmo testemunhe em meu favor, o meu testemunho é válido, pois sei de onde vim e para onde vou. Mas vocês não sabem de onde vim nem para onde vou.

15 Vocês julgam por padrões humanos; eu não julgo ninguém.

16 Mesmo que eu julgue, as minhas decisões são verdadeiras, porque não estou sozinho. Eu estou com o Pai, que me enviou.

17 Na Lei de vocês está escrito que o testemunho de dois homens é válido.
