Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on John 8:51

COM commentary-section · status:draft · license:PD

51. If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death —Partly thus vindicating His lofty claims as Lord of the kingdom of life everlasting, and, at the same time, holding out even to His revilers the scepter of grace. The word " keep " is in harmony with :- , "If ye continue in My word," expressing the permanency, as a living and paramount principle, of that faith to which He referred: " never see death, " though virtually uttered before ( John 5:24 ; John 6:40 ; John 6:47 ; John 6:51 ), is the strongest and most naked statement of a very glorious truth yet given. (In John 6:51- : it is repeated in nearly identical terms). return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-52" class="com-number"
