SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:43

¿Por qué no reconocéis mi lenguaje? Porque no podéis oír mi palabra.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:43

Verse 43. Why do ye not understand my
speech?] thn lalian thn emhn, This my mode of speaking-when illustrating spiritual by natural things: lalia refers to the manner of speaking; logov, to the matter or subject on which he spoke. For lalian, the Codex Bezae had originally alhqeian: why do ye not acknowledge this TRuth of mine? A few other MSS. agree in this reading.

Because ye cannot hear my word.] That is, ye cannot bear my doctrine: it comes too close to you; it searches your hearts, detects your hypocrisy, and exposes your iniquitous intentions and designs; and as ye are determined not to leave your sins, so ye are purposed not to hear my doctrine.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 43. Why do ye not understand my speech ? etc.] Language, idiom, dialect, and form of speaking, in a figurative way; for they did not know what he meant by liberty, and bondage, and by having another father than Abraham, or by his own procession and coming forth from God: [even] because ye cannot hear my word ; as they had no spiritual discerning and understanding of the doctrine of Christ, which showed them to be carnal, and natural men, and not regenerate ones, and the children of God; so they had an aversion to it, and could not bear to hear it.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 41-47 -
Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves an others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin men's souls. He is the great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, an promising freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liar resemble and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion for ever. The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of the mind, and corrupt reasonings, pride and envy, wrath an malice, enmity to good, and enticing others to evil. By the truth, her understand the revealed will of God as to the salvation of men by Jesu Christ, the truth Christ was now preaching, and which the Jews opposed.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

43.
Speech - word (lalian - logon). The former word refers to the form, the latter to the substance of discourse. So Matt. xxvi. 73, of Peter, "thy speech (lalia) bewrayeth thee;" thy mode of speaking. If they had understood the substance, they would have understood the form.

Cannot. See on vii. 7.
