Juan 12:37

37 Pero aun habiendo hecho delante de ellos tantas señales, no creían en él

Juan 12:37 Meaning and Commentary

John 12:37

But though he had done so many miracles before them
Openly, and in the presence of them; meaning those miracles which were done at Jerusalem, as those which brought Nicodemus to him, and to an acknowledgment of him as a teacher sent from God; and particularly the cure of the lame man at Bethesda's pool, the giving sight to the man that was born blind, by anointing his eyes with clay, and sending him to wash in the Pool of Siloam, and the raising Lazarus from the dead at Bethany, which was within two miles of Jerusalem, in the presence of many of them who were come there to comfort Martha and Mary. Yet

they believed not on him;
the miracles done by Christ before their eyes, which they could not deny, nor disprove, and were so many, and so great, were aggravations of their unbelief; and such indeed is the nature of that sin, and so deeply rooted is it, that the most powerful means, and mighty works, will not bring a person to believe in Christ, without the powerful and efficacious grace of God.

Juan 12:37 In-Context

35 Entonces Jesús les dice: Aún por un poco estará la Luz entre vosotros; andad entre tanto que tenéis luz, para que no os tomen las tinieblas; porque el que anda en tinieblas, no sabe dónde va

36 Entre tanto que tenéis la Luz, creed en la Luz, para que seáis hijos de la Luz. Estas cosas habló Jesús, y se fue, y se escondió de ellos

37 Pero aun habiendo hecho delante de ellos tantas señales, no creían en él

38 Para que se cumpliera la palabra que dijo el profeta Isaías: ¿Señor, quién creerá a nuestro dicho? ¿Y el brazo del Señor, a quién es revelado

39 Por esto no podían creer, porque otra vez dijo Isaías
