If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
If I hadn't done all these incredible things that no one else could do, they wouldn't be guilty of rejecting me. But they've seen everything I've done and still chosen to hate both me and my Father.
When you've seen the truth and still reject it, that's a choice you own.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of John, Jesus is speaking to his disciples during his farewell discourse, shortly before his arrest and crucifixion, as he explains the world's rejection of him. He refers to the miraculous works he performed, such as healing the sick and raising the dead, which were unique and fulfilled Old Testament prophecies, serving as undeniable evidence of his divine origin. Despite witnessing these signs, the Jewish religious leaders chose to reject and hate him, exposing their sin of willful unbelief in the face of God's revelation.
