"Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
Why do ye not understand my speech?.... Language, idiom, dialect, and form of speaking, in a figurative way; for they did not know what he meant by liberty, and bondage,
and by having another father than Abraham, or by his own procession and coming forth from God: even because ye cannot hear my word; as they had no spiritual discerning and understanding of the doctrine of Christ, which showed them to be carnal, and natural men, and not regenerate ones, and the children of God; so they had an aversion to it, and could not bear to hear it.
