Giovanni 8:25 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:25

Then said they unto him, who art thou?
&c.] That talks at this rate, and threatens with death, in case of unbelief; this they said with an haughty air, and in a scornful manner:

and Jesus saith unto them, even [the same] that I said unto you from
the beginning;
meaning, either of this discourse, as that he was the light of the world, and which he continued to assert; or of his being had before the sanhedrim, when he affirmed that God was his Father, and by many strong arguments proved his divine sonship; or of his ministry, when by miracles, as well as doctrines, he made it to appear that he was he that was to come, the true Messiah; or who spake from the beginning to Moses, saying, I am that I am, hath sent thee, and to the church, and Jewish fathers in the wilderness; and who is that word that was from the beginning with God; and who is called the beginning, the first cause of all things, and of the creation of God; and some think this is intended here.

Giovanni 8:25 In-Context

23 Ed egli diceva loro: Voi siete di quaggiù; io sono di lassù; voi siete di questo mondo; io non sono di questo mondo.

24 Perciò v’ho detto che morrete ne’ vostri peccati; perché se non credete che sono io (il Cristo), morrete nei vostri peccati.

25 Allora gli domandarono: Chi sei tu? Gesù rispose loro: Sono per l’appunto quel che vo dicendovi.

26 Ho molte cose da dire e da giudicare sul conto vostro; ma Colui che mi ha mandato è verace, e le cose che ho udite da lui, le dico al mondo.

27 Essi non capirono ch’egli parlava loro del Padre.
