31

Therefore the Jews took up stones again to stone him.

ExplanationCommentary
EXPLANATION

Verse 31. Then took up stones, and so forth because, said they, being a man, thou makest thyself God. The Jews, says Saint Augustine understood well enough what the Arians will not understand, that from Christ’s words it followed that he was one and the same God with the eternal Father. Witham.—The Jews, in opposition to our Saviour’s doctrine, took up stones to destroy him, in order that he might preach no more to them. So heretics at the present time exercise the odium of their impiety against the same Lord, by perverting his holy doctrines, and, as much as in them lies, pulling him and his servants down from the glorious seats of heavenly bliss. Saint Augustine
