JOHN 8:30-47, C. H. Cayce “As. He spake these words, many believed on Him. Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on Him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed;” and the conversation on down to the 44th verse, and the 47th verse? Were those He called the children of the devil in the 44th verse and those not of God in the 47th verse the same characters that believed on Him in the 30th verse?
No; those persons addressed in verses 43, 44, and 47, were not those who believed, spoken of in verse 30. In verse 45 He tells them that they believe not. This language was not to the believing, but to the unbelieving Jews. There were two classes present, and He was talking to the unbelieving class, and John puts in a few words in relating the conversation, and tells in verse 30 that some believed on Him, and then tells in verses 31 and 32 what Jesus said to those who believed; then he returns to the conversation with the unbelieving Jews in verse 33., Read the chapter carefully with this thought in mind.
