57 Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
57 "You are not yet fifty years old," they said to him, "and you have seen Abraham!"
57 So the Jews said to him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have you seen Abraham?"
57 The Jews said, "You're not even fifty years old - and Abraham saw you?"
57 Then the Jews said to Him, "You are not yet fifty years old, and have You seen Abraham?"
57 The people said, "You aren't even fifty years old. How can you say you have seen Abraham? "
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 8:57
Commentary on John 8:54-59
(Read John 8:54-59)
Christ and all that are his, depend upon God for honour. Men may be able to dispute about God, yet may not know him. Such as know not God, and obey not the gospel of Christ, are put together, Revelation 13:8. The Lord Jesus was made of God Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, and Redemption, to Adam, and Abel, and all that lived and died by faith in him, before Abraham. The Jews were about to stone Jesus for blasphemy, but he withdrew; by his miraculous power he passed through them unhurt. Let us stedfastly profess what we know and believe concerning God; and if heirs of Abraham's faith, we shall rejoice in looking forward to that day when the Saviour shall appear in glory, to the confusion of his enemies, and to complete the salvation of all who believe in him.
