SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:26
Muchas cosas tengo que decir y juzgar de vosotros; mas el que me envi, es verdadero; y yo, lo que he oído de l, esto hablo en el mundo.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:26
Verse 26. I have many things to say and to judge of you] Or, to speak and to condemn, &c. I could speedily expose all your iniquities-your pride and ambition, your hypocrisy and irreligion, your hatred to the light, and your malice against the truth, together with the present obstinate unbelief of your hearts, and show that these are the reasons why I say you will die in your sins; but these will appear in their true light: when, after you have crucified me, the judgments of God shall descend upon and consume you. He that sent me is true] Whatever he hath spoken of you by the prophets shall surely come to pass; his word cannot fail.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 26. I have many things to say, and to judge of you , etc.] Being God omniscient, he knew their persons and actions, their lives and conversations, and all their sins and transgressions, which he could justly have complained of, and charged them with, and proved against them, and judged and condemned them for; but this was not his present business, he came not to judge and condemn, but to save: wherefore he waved these things, and took no notice of them, leaving them to his Father, who would call them to an account, and punish them for them: but he that sent me is true ; as to his promises concerning the mission of his Son, to be the Saviour of sinners; so to his threatenings, to bring down vengeance on those that disbelieve him, and reject him: and I speak to the world , or in the world, those things which I have heard of him ; as concerning his love, grace, and mercy to those that should believe in him, so of the destruction of the despisers and rejecters of him; which things he spoke not in secret, in a corner, but publicly and openly, before all the world, to Jews and Gentiles, and to as many as were in the treasury, in the temple at this time; (see John 18:20).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 21-29 - Those that live in unbelief, are for ever undone, if they die in unbelief. The Jews belonged to this present evil world, but Jesus wa of a heavenly and Divine nature, so that his doctrine, kingdom, an blessings, would not suit their taste. But the curse of the law is don away to all that submit to the grace of the gospel. Nothing but the doctrine of Christ's grace will be an argument powerful enough, an none but the Spirit of Christ's grace will be an agent powerful enough to turn us from sin to God; and that Spirit is given, and that doctrin is given, to work upon those only who believe in Christ. Some say, Wh is this Jesus? They allow him to have been a Prophet, an excellen Teacher, and even more than a creature; but cannot acknowledge him a over all, God blessed for evermore. Will not this suffice? Jesus her answers the question. Is this to honour him as the Father? Does thi admit his being the Light of the world, and the Life of men, one with the Father? All shall know by their conversion, or in their condemnation, that he always spake and did what pleased the Father even when he claimed the highest honours to himself.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
26. I have many things, etc. The connection of thought seems to be as follows: "I being such as my words show me to be, I must declare the whole message of Him by virtue of my essential union with whom I speak. Many things I have to declare and judge, and you may turn a deaf ear to them; nevertheless, I must speak the whole truth, the things which I have heard from Him who sent me and who is true."I speak to the world (legw eiv ton kosmon). The best texts read lalw, which emphasizes not what Christ says (which would be legw), but the fact that He speaks. See on Matt. xxviii. 18. The use of the preposition eijv here is peculiar. Literally, "I speak into the world;" so that my words may reach and spread through the world. See for a similar construction 1 Thessalonians ii. 9; iv. 8; Heb. ii. 3. So Sophocles, where Electra says, khrusse mj eijv apantav proclaim me to all: so that the report of me may reach all ears ("Electra," 606).
