Commentary on John 8:27
John notes they didn't understand Jesus spoke of the Father. This spiritual blindness despite clear teaching demonstrates the truth of 1 Corinthians 2:14 - natural man cannot receive spiritual things. Understanding requires spiritual illumination, not merely hearing words. This illustrates the Reformed doctrine that regeneration precedes and enables spiritual comprehension.
