John 8:40 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

You declare by your actions that you are very far from the spirit and temper of Abraham: I am one who, being sent of God, whom you own as your Father, have faithfully revealed the will of God to you, and have never told you any thing but the truth; and this is all my crime, for which you seek to murder me: this was none of your father Abraham's practice; so as though you have something of Abraham's blood, yet you have nothing of Abraham's spirit in you.

John 8:40

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham.
