(48) He that rejecteth me . . .--The word rendered "rejecteth" (more exactly nullifieth) occurs only here in St. John. (Comp. Luke 7:30, "The Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves"; and John 10:16, "He that despiseth you despiseth Me.)

Hath one that judgeth him.--Comp. John 3:18; John 5:45 et seq.; John 8:50; and also Hebrews 4:12. . . .

Verse 48. - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings (ῤήματα), hath one that judgeth him - perhaps, that which judgeth him - the word (λόγος) which I spake, that will judge him at the last day. There is no more awful utterance than this (romp. 1 John 4:17; 2 Corinthians 5:10, where the irresistible power of a searching inviolable Law is vindicated). How strange that some critics should, with a view to disparage the authenticity of the Gospel, make it appear that there is no reference in it to judgment to come, or to the last day, and should deliberately ignore this feature of the Johannine Gospel!
