John 12:48 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

He that rejecteth me... — The word rendered “rejecteth” (more exactly nullifieth) occurs only here in St. John. (Comp. Luke 7:30, “The Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves”; and John 10:16, “He that despiseth you despiseth Me.)

Hath one that judgeth him. — Comp. John 3:18; John 5:45 et seq.; John 8:50; and also Hebrews 4:12.

The word that I have spoken. — The very fact that He was so rejected was itself the judgment of those who rejected it.

John 12:48

48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
