SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:45
Y porque yo digo Verdad, no me creéis.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 45. And because I tell you the truth , etc.] And no lie, the whole truth of the Gospel, and particularly the truth of his divine sonship: ye believe me not ; to such an infatuation and judicial blindness were they give up, to disbelieve him, because he told the truth, and to believe a lie, that they might be damned; which showed them to be the children of the devil, and under his power and influence.
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.
