SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:47
El que es de Dios, las palabras de Dios oye; por esto no las oís vosotros, porque no sois de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 8:47
Verse 47. He that is of God] Meaning probably himself: he who came from God, or was born of God-heareth the words of God- has the constant inspiration of his Spirit, speaks nothing but truth, and cannot possibly err.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 47. He that is of God , etc.] Who is born, not of blood, by carnal descent from any person, or of the carnal will, or by the power of freewill, or of the will of the best man in the world; but of God, according to his abundant mercy, of his own will, by the power of his grace; and so has God to be his Father: such an one heareth Gods words ; the doctrines of the Gospel, which have God for their author, being of his ordaining, sending, and publishing; and his grace for the matter of them, displayed in election, redemption, justification, pardon, adoption, and eternal salvation, and his glory for the end: now a regenerate man has eyes to see into the glory, loveliness, excellency, suitableness, and usefulness of these things; and he has ears to hear, and a heart to understand them, which others have not; and therefore hears them with pleasure, receives them in the love of them, cordially embraces them by faith, and distinguishes them from the words of man; and puts such of them in practice, as requires it: ye therefore hear [them] not, because ye are not of God ; because God was not their Father, or they were not born of him, as they boasted; therefore they had not eyes to see, nor ears to hear, nor hearts to understand: and it may as fairly be inferred, that because they did not hear the words of God, therefore they were not of God; for these two necessarily imply each other; it looks very dark on such persons, who neither hear the doctrines of the Gospel externally nor internally.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 41-47 - Satan prompts men to excesses by which they murder themselves an others, while what he puts into the mind tends to ruin men's souls. He is the great promoter of falsehood of every kind. He is a liar, all his temptations are carried on by his calling evil good, and good evil, an promising freedom in sin. He is the author of all lies; whom liar resemble and obey, with whom all liars shall have their portion for ever. The special lusts of the devil are spiritual wickedness, the lusts of the mind, and corrupt reasonings, pride and envy, wrath an malice, enmity to good, and enticing others to evil. By the truth, her understand the revealed will of God as to the salvation of men by Jesu Christ, the truth Christ was now preaching, and which the Jews opposed.
