John 8:15

Ye judge after the flesh According to His outward form, the form of a servant: comp. John 7:24. From the context -judge" here acquires an adverse sense, and virtually means -condemn:" comp. John 3:17-18; John 7:51. Judging Him to be a mere man they had condemned His testimony respecting Himself as invalid. -Ye" and -I" are in emphatic opposition.

I judge no man Neither -after the flesh," nor -as ye do," nor anything else is to be supplied. No such addition can be made in John 8:16, and therefore cannot be made here. The words are best taken quite simply and literally. -My mission is not to condemn, but to save and to bless." Comp. John 12:47.
