Joh 8:15, 12:47 | Barnes | STEP | Verse 15. After the flesh. According to appearance; according to your carnal and corrupt mode; not according to the spiritual nature of the doctrines. By your preconceived opinions and prejudices you are determined not to believe that I am the Messiah. I judge no man . Jesus came not to condemn the world, . They were in the habit of judging rashly and harshly of all; but this was not the purpose or disposition of the Saviour. This expression is to be understood as meaning that he judged no one after their manner ; he did not come to censure and condemn men after the appearance, or in a harsh, biased, and unkind manner.

I judge no man. Jesus came not to condemn the world, Jn 3:17. They were in the habit of judging rashly and harshly of all; but this was not the purpose or disposition of the Saviour. This expression is to be understood as meaning that he judged no one after their manner; he did not come to censure and condemn men after the appearance, or in a harsh, biased, and unkind manner.

John 12:47

Verse 47. I judge him not, &c. Jn 8:15. It was not his present purpose to condemn men. He would come to condemn the guilty at a future time. At present he came to save them. hence he did not now even pronounce decisively on the condition of those who rejected him, but still gave them an opportunity to be saved.

(x) "for I came not to judge the world" Jn 3:17
