“Respondit eis Jesus : Loquor vobis, et non creditis : opera quæ ego facio in nomine Patris mei, hæc testimonium perhibent de me :”
“Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.”
““I already told you,” Jesus replied, “but you did not believe. The works I do in My Father’s name testify on My behalf.”
“Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you don’t believe. The works that I do in my Father’s name, these testify about me.”
“Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.”
The works and miracles, that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me, and shew who I am, being foretold by the prophets. See John v. 31, &c. (Witham)
Verses 22-30 All who have any thing to say to Christ, may find him in the temple. Christ would make us to believe; we make ourselves doubt. The Jews understood his meaning, but could not form his words into a full charge against him. He described the gracious disposition and happy state of his sheep; they heard and believed his word, followed him as his faithful disciples, and none of them should perish; for the Son and the Father were one. Thus he was able to defend his sheep against all their enemies, which proves that he claimed Divine power and perfection equally with the Father.
