“Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come.”
John 8:22 (KJV)
Commentary on John 8:22
The Jews mockingly ask if Jesus will kill Himself, since He says they cannot follow Him. Their hardness manifests in cynical jest about the gravest spiritual warnings. Suicides were considered especially cursed, so suggesting Jesus would kill Himself was deeply insulting. Yet their mockery ironically touches truth - Jesus will lay down His life voluntarily, though by crucifixion, not suicide.
