Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

John 8:57-59

_ _ Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old — “No inference can be drawn from this as to the age of our Lord at the time as man. Fifty years was with the Jews the completion of manhood” [Alford].

_ _ and hast thou seen Abraham? — He had said Abraham saw Him, as being his peculiar privilege. They give the opposite turn to it — “Hast Thou seen Abraham?” as an honor too great for Him to pretend to.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 8:51-59.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 8:57

Thou art not yet fifty years old — At the most. Perhaps the gravity of our Lord's countenance, together with his afflictions and labours, might make him appear older than he really was. Hast thou seen Abraham — Which they justly supposed must have been, if Abraham had seen him.
