SEV Biblia, Chapter 8:55
y no le conocis: mas yo le conozco; y si dijere que no le conozco, ser como vosotros mentiroso, mas le conozco, y guardo su palabra.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 55. Yet ye have not known him , etc.] Not as the Father of Christ, nor as in Christ, whom to know is life eternal: they had no spiritual knowledge of him, nor communion with him; nor did they know truly his mind and will, nor how to worship and serve him as they ought: but I know him ; his nature and perfections, being of the same nature, and having the same perfections with him; and his whole mind and will lying in his bosom: nor did, or does any know the Father, but the Son, and he to whom he is pleased to reveal him: and if I should say, I know him not, I should be a liar like unto you . Our Lord still intimates, that they were of their father the devil, and imitated him not only as a murderer, but as a liar: this is quite contrary to the character they give of themselves, for they say f404 , that an Israelite will not tell a lie. But I know him, and keep his saying : do his will, and always the things that please him, observe his law, preach his Gospel, fulfil all righteousness, and work out the salvation of men, which were the will and work of his Father he came to do.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 54-59 - Christ and all that are his, depend upon God for honour. Men may be able to dispute about God, yet may not know him. Such as know not God and obey not the gospel of Christ, are put together, 2Th 1:8. All wh rightly know anything of Christ, earnestly desire to know more of him Those who discern the dawn of the light of the Sun of Righteousness wish to see his rising. "Before Abraham was, I AM." This speaks Abraha a creature, and our Lord the Creator; well, therefore, might he make himself greater than Abraham. I AM, is the name of God, Ex 3:14; it speaks his self-existence; he is the First and the Last, ever the same Re 1:8. Thus he was not only before Abraham, but before all worlds, P 8:23; Joh 1:1. As Mediator, he was the appointed Messiah, long befor Abraham; the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world, Re 13:8. The Lord Jesus was made of God Wisdom, Righteousness, Sanctification, an Redemption, to Adam, and Abel, and all that lived and died by faith in him, before Abraham. The Jews were about to stone Jesus for blasphemy but he withdrew; by his miraculous power he passed through them unhurt Let us stedfastly profess what we know and believe concerning God; an if heirs of Abraham's faith, we shall rejoice in looking forward to that day when the Saviour shall appear in glory, to the confusion of his enemies, and to complete the salvation of all who believe in him __________________________________________________________________
