Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

John 8:46

_ _ Which of you convinceth me of sin — “Convicteth,” bringeth home a charge of sin. Glorious dilemma! “Convict Me of sin, and reject Me: If not, why stand ye out against My claims?” Of course, they could only be supposed to impeach His life; but in One who had already passed through unparalleled complications, and had continually to deal with friends and foes of every sort and degree, such a challenge thrown wide among His bitterest enemies, can amount to nothing short of a claim to absolute sinlessness.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 8:38-47.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 8:46

Which of you convicteth me of sin? — And is not my life as unreprovable as my doctrine? Does not my whole behaviour confirm the truth of what I teach?

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 8:46

(14) Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me?
