João 8:46 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:46

Which of you convinceth me of sin?
&c.] Of any immorality in life, or of any imposture, corruption, or deceit in doctrine. There were many of them that were forward enough to charge him with both scandalous sins, and false doctrines; but none of them all could prove anything against him, so as to convict him according to law: they called him a wine bibber, and a glutton; gave out they knew he was a sinner; charged him with blasphemy and sedition; sought to bring proof of it, but failed in their attempt:

and if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
since as no sin in life, so no corruption in doctrine, could be proved against him, what he said must be truth; and therefore it was a most unreasonable thing in them, and showed invincible obstinacy, not to believe him.

João 8:46 In-Context

44 “VocĂȘs pertencem ao pai de vocĂȘs, o Diabo, e querem realizar o desejo dele. Ele foi homicida desde o princĂ­pio e nĂŁo se apegou Ă  verdade, pois nĂŁo hĂĄ verdade nele. Quando mente, fala a sua prĂłpria lĂ­ngua, pois Ă© mentiroso e pai da mentira.
45 No entanto, vocĂȘs nĂŁo creem em mim, porque digo a verdade!
46 Qual de vocĂȘs pode me acusar de algum pecado? Se estou falando a verdade, porque vocĂȘs nĂŁo creem em mim?
47 Aquele que pertence a Deus ouve o que Deus diz. VocĂȘs nĂŁo o ouvem porque nĂŁo pertencem a Deus”.
48 Os judeus lhe responderam: “NĂŁo estamos certos em dizer que vocĂȘ Ă© samaritano e estĂĄ endemoninhado?”
