SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:53

¿Eres t mayor que nuestro padre Abraham, el cual muri? Y los profetas murieron; ¿quin te haces?

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 53. Art thou greater than our father Abraham ? etc.] So the woman of Samaria said, concerning Jacob, ( John 4:12). The Jews had a mighty opinion of their ancestors, especially of Abraham; and yet they allow the Messiah to be greater than he, as Jesus truly was: so one of their ancient commentators on those words of ( Isaiah 52:13) thus paraphrases them, Behold my servant shall deal prudently, this is the King Messiah; he shall be exalted above Abraham, as it is written, ( Genesis 14:22), and extolled above Moses, as it is written, ( Numbers 11:12), and he shall be higher than the ministering angels, as it is written, ( Ezekiel 1:26 Zechariah 4:7), for he shall be twba m lwdg , greater than the fathers.

They add here, of Abraham, which is dead ; he was a great and good man, and yet dead: and the prophets are dead ; though they truly kept, and faithfully delivered the word of God: whom makest thou thyself ? who art a poor carpenters son, a Galilean, a Nazarene, and yet makest thyself greater than Abraham, or any of the prophets; yea, makest thyself to be God, to promise security from death, and an everlasting continuance of life upon keeping thy word.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 48-53 - Observe Christ's disregard of the applause of men. those who are dea to the praises of men can bear their contempt. God will seek the honou of all who do not seek their own. In these verses we have the doctrin of the everlasting happiness of believers. We have the character of believer; he is one that keeps the sayings of the Lord Jesus. And the privilege of a believer; he shall by no means see death for ever Though now they cannot avoid seeing death, and tasting it also, ye they shall shortly be where it will be no more forever, Ex 14:13.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

53. Art thou (mh su). Thou, emphatic, and the negative interrogative particle implying a negative answer, thou art not surely greater.

Which is dead (ostiv). The compound pronoun ostiv, which, is used explicatively, according to a familiar New Testament usage, instead of the simple relative. The sense is, seeing that he is dead. The compound relative properly indicates the class or kind to which an object belongs. Art thou greater than Abraham, who is himself one of the dead? So Col. iii. 5. "Mortify covetousness, seeing it is (htiv estin) idolatry." See on Matt. xiii. 52; xxi. 41; Mark xii. 18; Luke xii. 1; Acts vii. 53; x. 41; 1 Peter ii. 11.
