John Gill Commentary John 8:25

"They said therefore unto him, Who art thou? Jesus said unto them, Even that which I have also spoken unto you from the beginning." — John 8:25 (ASV)

Then said they unto him, who are you ?
&c.] That talks at this rate, and threatens with death, in case of unbelief; this they said with a haughty air, and in a scornful manner:

and Jesus says unto them, even [the same] that I said unto you from
the beginning ;
meaning, either of this discourse, as that he was the light of the world, and which he continued to assert; or of his being had before the sanhedrim, when he affirmed that God was his Father, and by many strong arguments proved his divine sonship; or of his ministry, when by miracles, as well as doctrines, he made it to appear that he was he that was to come, the true Messiah;

or who spoke from the beginning to Moses, saying, I am that I am, has sent you, and to the church, and Jewish fathers in the wilderness; and who is that word that was from the beginning with God; and who is called the beginning, the first cause of all things, and of the creation of God; and some think this is intended here.
