Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed
not
He had often said, what amounted to it, in his ministry and
doctrine; as that God was his Father, and he was the light of the
world, and the good shepherd, and the like; but they gave no heed
nor credit to his words, even though he told them, that unless
they believed he was such a person, they should die in their
sins:
the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness
of me;
such as healing the sick, dispossessing devils, cleansing lepers,
giving sight to the blind, causing the deaf to hear, the dumb to
speak, and the lame to walk, and raising the dead to life;
suggesting, that besides his words, his doctrine and ministry,
they had his miracles before them, which plainly showed who he
was; so that they need not have been in any doubt of mind, or
suspense about him; nor had they any reason to complain of his
hiding himself from them, or depriving them of the knowledge of
him.
