Which of you convinceth me of sin? Or, convicteth Me of sin(see on John 3:20). Many rebuked Christ and laid sin to His charge: none brought sin home to His conscience. There is the majesty of Divinity in the challenge. What mortal man would dare to make it? See on John 8:29, and comp. John 14:30, and Joh 15:10; 1 John 3:5; 1Pe 1:19; 1 Peter 2:22. Note the implied connexion between sin generally and falsehood, as between righteousness and truth, John 7:18.

And if I say the truth Better, If I say truth. No MSS. have the article, and the best MSS. omit the conjunction. -If I am free from sin (and none of you can convict Me of sin), I am free from falsehood and speak the truth. Why then do ye on your part refuse to believe Me?" -Ye" is emphatic.
