SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:30
Hablando él estas cosas, muchos creyeron en él.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:30
Verse 30. As he spake these words, many believed on him.] The same sun that hardens the clay softens the wax. This discourse, which proved the savour of death unto death to the obstinate Pharisees, became the savour of life unto life to many of the simple-hearted people.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 30. As he spake these words , etc.] Concerning his being lifted up, or his crucifixion, and the knowledge the Jews should then have of him; of the excellency and divinity of his doctrine, of his mission from the Father, and of the Father’s presence with him, and of his always doing the things that are pleasing in his sight; which were spoken by him with majesty and authority, and came with power: many believed on him : as the Son of God, and true Messiah: faith came by hearing; Christ’s hearers were of different sorts; some understood him not, and disbelieved, and rejected him; others had their eyes, and their hearts opened, and received him, and his words.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 30-36 - Such power attended our Lord's words, that many were convinced, an professed to believe in him. He encouraged them to attend his teaching rely on his promises, and obey his commands, notwithstanding all temptations to evil. Thus doing, they would be his disciples truly; an by the teaching of his word and Spirit, they would learn where their hope and strength lay. Christ spoke of spiritual liberty; but carna hearts feel no other grievances than those that molest the body, an distress their worldly affairs. Talk to them of their liberty an property, tell them of waste committed upon their lands, or damage don to their houses, and they understand you very well; but speak of the bondage of sin, captivity to Satan, and liberty by Christ; tell of wrong done to their precious souls, and the hazard of their eterna welfare, then you bring strange things to their ears. Jesus plainl reminded them, that the man who practised any sin, was, in fact, slave to that sin, which was the case with most of them. Christ in the gospel offers us freedom, he has power to do this, and those who Christ makes free are really so. But often we see persons disputin about liberty of every kind, while they are slaves to some sinful lust.
