"I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you. However, he who sent me is true; and the things which I heard from him, these I say to the world.”"

Key Reflection

Jesus asserts that his teachings come directly from God, emphasizing their authenticity and truthfulness. This statement underscores Jesus’ divine mission and His role as a reliable messenger, setting the stage for the profound truths He is about to impart, which will challenge the beliefs and behaviors of those around Him.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 27. They understood not. They knew not, or they were unwilling to receive him as a messenger from God. They doubtless understood that he meant to speak of God, but they were unwilling to acknowledge that he really came from God. __________________________________________________________________
