Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 8:34-35.


John 8:35

_ _ And the servant abideth not in the house for ever, but the Son abideth ever — that is, “And if your connection with the family of God be that of BOND-SERVANTS, ye have no natural tie to the house; your tie is essentially uncertain and precarious. But the SON’S relationship to the FATHER is a natural and essential one; it is an indefeasible tie; His abode in it is perpetual and of right: That is My relationship, My tie: If, then, ye would have your connection with God’s family made real, rightful, permanent, ye must by the Son be manumitted and adopted as sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty.” In this sublime statement there is no doubt a subordinate allusion to Genesis 21:10, “Cast out this bondwoman and her son, for the son of this bond-woman shall not be heir with my son, with Isaac.” (Compare Galatians 4:22-30).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 8:31-37.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 8:35

And the slave abideth not in the house — All sinners shall be cast out of God's house, as the slave was out of Abraham's: but I, the Son, abide therein for ever.
