SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:29
Porque el que me envi, conmigo est; no me ha dejado solo el Padre; porque yo, lo que a l agrada, hago siempre.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:29
Verse 29. The Father hath not left me alone] Though ye shalt have power to put me to death, yet this shall not be because he hath abandoned me. No-he is ever with me, because I do that which pleaseth him; and it is his pleasure that I should lay down my life for the salvation of the world. Does not our Lord allude to the following scriptures?- Sacrifice and offering thou didst not desire; my ears hast thou opened: (or, a body hast thou prepared me: Heb. x. v. ) then said I, Lo, I come: this is written in the volume of the book concerning me. I delight to do thy will, O my God! Thy law is in my heart. Psalm xl. 6-8.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 29. And he that sent me is with me , etc.] By virtue of that near union there is between them, they being one in nature, essence, power, and glory, and by the gracious, powerful, comfortable, assisting, and strengthening presence of his Father, which he vouchsafed to him as man, and Mediator; the Father hath not left me alone ; Christ, as the word, was with the Father from all eternity, and, as the Son of God, was in heaven, and in the bosom of the Father, when he, as the son of man, was here on earth; for though he came forth from the Father into this world, by assumption of the human nature, yet the Father was always with him, and he with the Father, through the unity of the divine nature; nor did he withhold his supporting and assisting presence from him as man; nor did he withdraw, at least he had not yet withdrawn his gracious and comfortable presence from him, though he afterwards did, when upon the cross: compare with this ( John 16:32); for I do always those things that please him ; by submitting to Gospel ordinances, as to baptism, at which the Father declared his well pleasedness in him; and by complying with the ordinances of the ceremonial law, which were typical of him; and by perfectly obeying the precepts of the moral law, and bearing the penalty of it; or by suffering and dying in the room and stead of his people; all which were the will of God, and well pleasing to him.
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.

29. The Father. The best texts omit.Alone. See ver. 16.
Those things that please Him (ta aresta autw). Literally, as Rev., the things that are pleasing to Him. Always (pantote) closing the sentence, is emphatic. Jesus' holy activity is habitual and continuous. See iv. 34.
