“et verbum ejus non habetis in vobis manens : quia quem misit ille, huic vos non creditis.”
“And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.”
“nor does His word abide in you, because you do not believe the One He sent.”
“You don’t have his word living in you; because you don’t believe him whom he sent.”
“And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he sent, him ye believe not.”
You do not observe the commandment he gave you. (Deuteronomy xviii. 15. 19.) of listening to the prophet He would send you.
Verses 30-38 Our Lord returns to his declaration of the entire agreement between the Father and the Son, and declared himself the Son of God. He had higher testimony than that of John; his works bore witness to all he had said. But the Divine word had no abiding-place in their hearts, as they refused to believe in Him whom the Father had sent, according to his ancient promises. The voice of God, accompanied by the power of the Holy Ghost, thus made effectual to the conversion of sinners, still proclaims that this is the beloved Son, in whom the Father is well pleased. But when the hearts of men are full of pride, ambition, and the love of the world, there is no room for the word of God to abide in them.
