_ _ I have many things to say and to judge of you; but he that sent me is true, etc. — that is, I could, and at the fitting time, will say and judge many things of you (referring perhaps to the work of the Spirit which is for judgment as well as salvation, John 16:8), but what I do say is just the message My Father hath given Me to deliver.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 8:21-30.
