SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:17

Y en vuestra ley est escrito que el testimonio de dos hombres es verdadero.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 17. It is also written in your law , etc.] The law of Moses, which was given unto them, and they
boasted of; the passage referred to is in ( Deuteronomy 19:15); see also ( Deuteronomy 17:6); where though what follows is not to be found in so many words, yet the sense is there expressed: that the testimony of two men is true : concerning which the Jewish writers say f381 , they used not to determine any judiciary matter by the mouth of one witness, neither pecuniary causes, nor causes of life and death, as it is said, ( Deuteronomy 17:6). It is asked in their oral law, if the testimony of two men stand, why does the Scripture particularly mention three? (for no other reason) but to compare or equal three with two, that as three convict two of a falsehood, two may also convict three.

On which one of their commentators has this observation, taking notice of ( Deuteronomy 19:18), which speaks of a single witness; Mar (a doctor) says, wherever it is said a witness, it is to be understood of two, unless the Scripture particularly specifies one.

In the case of a wife suspected of adultery, and in the business of striking off the neck of the heifer in case of murder, they admitted of one witness f384 .


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 17-20 - If we knew Christ better, we should know the Father better. Thos become vain in their imaginations concerning God, who will not learn of Christ. Those who know not his glory and grace, know not the Fathe that sent him. The time of our departure out of the world, depends upo God. Our enemies cannot hasten it any sooner, nor can our friends dela it any longer, than the time appointed of the Father. Every tru believer can look up and say with pleasure, My times are in thy hand and better there than in my own. To all God's purposes there is a time.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

17. In your law (en tw nomw tw umeterw). Literally, in the law, that which is yours. Yours has an emphatic force: of which you claim a monopoly. See vii. 49.

It is written (gegraptai). The perfect tense: it has been written, and stands written. The common form of citation elsewhere, but used by John of the Old Testament scriptures only here. His usual form is gegrammenon ejstin, the participle with the finite verb, literally, it is having been written.

The witness of two men. See Deut. xix. 15.

The Father - beareth witness of me. Thus there are two witnesses, and the letter of the law is fulfilled.
