Commentaries on John 12:44
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 44Jesus cried and said - This is our Lord's concluding discourse to this wicked people: probably this and the following verses should be understood as a part of the discourse which was left off at the 36th verse. Jesus cried - he spoke these words aloud, and showed his earnest desire for their salvation.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 44Jesus cried and said - John does not say where or when this was; it is probable, however, that it was a continuation of the discourse recorded in John 12:30-36. Jesus saw their unbelief, and proceeded to state the consequence of believing on him, and of rejecting him and his message. Believeth not on me - That is, not on me alone, or his faith does not terminate on me. Compare Matthew 10:20; Mark 9:37. It involves, also, belief in him that sent me. Jesus…Read the comment

Jesus is the light shining in darkness to bring salvation and eternal life to all who believe in him.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 44-5044-50. Jesus cried--in a loud tone, and with peculiar solemnity. (Compare Joh 7:37). and said, He that believeth on me, &c.--This seems to be a supplementary record of some weighty proclamations, for which there had been found no natural place before, and introduced here as a sort of summary and winding up of His whole testimony.Read the comment
