Jean 8:32

32 Et vous connaîtrez la vérité, et la vérité vous affranchira.

Jean 8:32 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:32

And ye shall know the truth
Either the truth of the Gospel, the truth as it is in Jesus; meaning, that they should have a larger knowledge of it, while others are ever learning, and never come to the knowledge of the truth; but the spirit of truth should lead them into all truth, and cause them to grow and increase in Gospel light and knowledge; or Jesus himself, who is the way, the truth, and the life; and the sense is, that they should know more of him, of the dignity of his person, of the nature and usefulness of his offices; of the efficacy of his blood, the excellency of his righteousness, and the fulness of his grace, and that for themselves:

and the truth shall make you free;
from ignorance and error, and the prejudices of education, under which the whole nation laboured, and from the thraldom of the law.

Jean 8:32 In-Context

30 Comme Jésus disait ces choses, plusieurs crurent en lui.

31 Jésus dit donc aux Juifs qui avaient cru en lui: Si vous demeurez dans ma parole, vous êtes véritablement mes disciples.

32 Et vous connaîtrez la vérité, et la vérité vous affranchira.

33 Ils lui répondirent: Nous sommes la postérité d'Abraham, et nous n'avons jamais été esclaves de personne; comment donc dis-tu: Vous serez affranchis?

34 Jésus leur répondit: En vérité, en vérité je vous dis, que quiconque s'adonne au péché, est esclave du péché.
