SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:27
Pero no entendieron que l les hablaba del Padre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 27. They understood not that he spake to them of the Father .] That sent him, and who was true and faithful to all he had said, whether in a way of promise, or threatening; such was their stupidity, that they did not know that he meant God the Father by him that sent him, so deriving his mission and doctrine from him; their hearts were made fat, and hardened, and their eyes were blinded. The Vulgate Latin version reads, they did not know that he said, God was his Father; and so Bezas most ancient copy, and another exemplar of his.
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.

27. They understood (egnwsan). Perceived, as Rev.He spake. Imperfect. Was speaking would be much better.
