Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 53. - Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? This use of ποιεῖν is not uncommon. "By thy own statements, whom wouldst thou have us believe that thou art?" (cf. John 5:18; John 10:33; John 19:7, 12). This claim to be Giver of immunity from death, and the further assumption that the belief of and continuance in his word would metamorphose and transfigure death itself, implied functions which "made" Jesus mightier, more august, than either Moses or Elijah, Abraham or the prophets, who were dead. "These all died who art thou?"

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(53) Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead?--The question is exactly the same, with the substitution of "Abraham" for "Jacob," as that asked by the Samaritan woman in John 4:12 (see Note). "Surely thou art not greater than our father Abraham, who indeed died?"Whom makest thou thyself?--"If Abraham, who received God's covenant, himself died, and if the prophets, who uttered the oracles of God, themselves died, what kind of person dost Thou assert Thyself to be that Thy word shall deliver men from death?" The same phrase occurs again in John 5:18; John 10:33; John 19:7.
