Jean 5:46

46 Car si vous croyiez Moïse, vous me croiriez aussi; car il a écrit de moi.

Jean 5:46 Meaning and Commentary

John 5:46

For had ye believed Moses
The doctrine of Moses, and what he says in his writings:

ye would have believed me;
for there is an agreement between Moses and Christ; Christ is the end of the law of Moses, and in him is the accomplishment of his writings:

for he wrote of me;
in the books written by him, Christ is spoken of, as the seed of the woman, that should bruise the serpent's head; as the seed of Abraham, in whom all nations of the earth should be blessed; as the Shiloh, to whom the gathering of the people should be; and as that prophet, who should be like unto himself, to whom the people of Israel should hearken; and he wrote many things typically of Christ; and indeed, the whole Mosaic economy was typical of Christ, as the epistle to the Hebrews shows: and therefore disbelieving Christ, was disbelieving Moses; who therefore would be an accuser of them, and a witness against them.

Jean 5:46 In-Context

44 Comment pouvez-vous croire, quand vous tirez votre gloire les uns des autres, et que vous ne recherchez point la gloire qui vient de Dieu seul?

45 Ne pensez point que moi je vous accuse devant le Père; Moïse, en qui vous espérez, est celui qui vous accusera.

46 Car si vous croyiez Moïse, vous me croiriez aussi; car il a écrit de moi.

47 Mais si vous ne croyez pas ses écrits, comment croirez-vous mes paroles?
