The Pulpit Commentary - John 5:41-47

The cause and the end of Jewish unbelief. Jesus has just declared that the Jews will not come to him, and now he reveals its cause. I. THE CAUSE OF THEIR UNBELIEF . "I know that ye have not the love of God in you." 1 . This love would oblige them to seek honour only from God, and thus appreciate the glory the Father has given to the Son. 2 . Jesus has no concern for man ' s praise or report, for the Father's testimony is all-sufficient. "I receive not honour... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - John 5:46-47

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me. The reason for the previous saying is introduced by γάρ . The form of the conditional sentence shows that the protasis is a supposition of an event contrary to the fact. They were not believing Moses, though they were putting a vain and illusive confidence in him; and hence they were not believing in Christ. Here is the secret of the antagonism to the Lord. A deeper understanding of their own Scripture would involve an acceptance of the... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 5:45-46

Do not think that I will accuse you - Do not suppose that I intend to follow your example. They had accused Jesus of breaking the law of God, John 5:16. He says that he will not imitate their example, though he implies that he might accuse them.To the Father - To God.There is one that accuseth you - Moses might be said to accuse or reprove them. He wrote of the Messiah, clearly foretold his coming, and commanded them to hear him. As they did not do it, it might be said that they had disregarded... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - John 5:47

If ye believe not his writings - If you do not credit what he has written which you profess to believe, it is not to be expected that you will believe my declarations. And from this we may learn:That many men who profess to believe the Bible have really no regard for it when it crosses their own views and inclinations. It is our duty to study the Bible, that we may be established in the belief that Jesus is the Messiah. The prophecies of the Old Testament are conclusive proofs of the truth of... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - John 5:30-47

47. Witness to Jesus (John 5:30-47)Jesus acted with God’s authority, but he would not give evidence on his own behalf to try to convince the Jews. God was his witness, and Jesus accepted his witness even if the Jews did not (John 5:30-32). With God as his witness, Jesus needed no other, but if the Jews wanted earthly witnesses, they were available. Jesus gave them three, which would satisfy those who wanted to judge him according to the requirements for witnesses under Jewish law (cf.... read more

For the former, see Luke 23:38 . 2 Corinthians 3:7 ; or the letter of Scripture contrasted with its spirit (Romans 2:27 , Romans 2:29 ; Romans 7:6 . 2 Corinthians 3:6 ).

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - John 5:46

For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me. But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?How strange that those leaders, thinking so strongly that they had eternal life through Moses, were actually unbelievers of the writings of the great lawgiver. Such is the deceptiveness of sin, that persons who truly imagine themselves to be believers are in fact no such thing! It is possible that Christ had in mind here the great prophecies of Genesis 3:15 and... read more

John 5:46-47. For he wrote of me.— "Had you believed the writings of Moses, which are daily read in your synagogues, you would have believed me; for these writings describe me, as by a variety of striking types and figures, so likewise by many strong and direct prophesies: see the last note: But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words? If you do not believe the testimony of your own lawgiver, I have no reason to be surprised that you do not credit me upon my testimony."... read more
