“Cum autem esset Jerosolymis in Pascha in die festo, multi crediderunt in nomine ejus, videntes signa ejus, quæ faciebat.”
“Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.”
“While He was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the signs He was doing and believed in His name.”
“Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in his name, observing his signs which he did.”
“Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, during the feast, many believed on his name, beholding his signs which he did.”
Verses 23-25 Our Lord knew all men, their nature, dispositions, affections, designs, so as we do not know any man, not even ourselves. He knows his crafty enemies, and all their secret projects; his false friends, and their true characters. He knows who are truly his, knows their uprightness, and knows their weaknesses. We know what is done by men; Christ knows what is in them, he tries the heart. Beware of a dead faith, or a formal profession: carnal, empty professors are not to be trusted, and however men impose on others or themselves, they cannot impose on the heart-searching God.
