Johannes 8:22 Meaning and Commentary

John 8:22

Then said the Jews, will he kill himself?
&c.] Which was not only a wicked, but a foolish consequence, drawn from his words: for it by no means followed, because he was going away, and whither they could not come, that therefore he must destroy himself; this seems to be what they would have been glad he would have done, and suggested the thought that he might do it, in which they imitated Satan, ( Matthew 4:6 ) , under whose influence they now apparently were, and hoped that he would, which would at once extricate them out of their difficulties on his account:

because he sayeth, whither I go ye cannot come:
this is no reason at all; for had Christ's meaning been, as they blasphemously intimate, they might have destroyed themselves too, and have gone after him.

Johannes 8:22 In-Context

20 Deze woorden sprak Jezus bij de schatkist, lerende in den tempel; en niemand greep Hem; want Zijn ure was nog niet gekomen.
21 Jezus dan zeide wederom tot hen: Ik ga heen, en gij zult Mij zoeken, en in uw zonden zult gij sterven; waar Ik heenga, kunt gijlieden niet komen.
22 De Joden dan zeiden: Zal Hij ook Zichzelven doden, omdat Hij zegt: Waar Ik heenga, kunt gijlieden niet komen?
23 En Hij zeide tot hen: Gijlieden zijt van beneden, Ik ben van boven; gij zijt uit deze wereld, Ik ben niet uit deze wereld.
24 Ik heb u dan gezegd, dat gij in uw zonden zult sterven; want indien gij niet gelooft, dat Ik Die ben, gij zult in uw zonden sterven.
