Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(46) Never man spake like this man.--Some of the oldest MSS., including the Vatican, have a shorter text, "Never man spake thus"; but the longer reading is to be preferred. The very officers acknowledged His power, and tell the professed teachers, whose opinions and words were the rule of all Jewish life, that never man spake as He whom they sought to take! It is probable that in the section immediately preceding (John 7:32-34), St. John gives us only a resume of what Jesus had said, and that words which have not come down to us were among those which produced so profound an impression on the officers.Parallel Commentaries ...Greek“Never {has}Οὐδέποτε (Oudepote)AdverbStrong's 3763: Never.
