John 8:43 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word: - q.d., 'If ye had anything of His moral image, as children have their father's likeness, ye would love Me, because I am immediately of Him and directly from Him. But "My speech" (meaning His special style of expressing Himself on these subjects) 'is unintelligible to you' because ye cannot take in the truth which it conveys.'
