23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
23 Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Festival, many people saw the signs he was performing and believed in his name.
23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many believed in his name when they saw the signs that he was doing.
23 During the time he was in Jerusalem, those days of the Passover Feast, many people noticed the signs he was displaying and, seeing they pointed straight to God, entrusted their lives to him.
23 Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name when they saw the signs which He did.
23 Because of the miraculous signs Jesus did in Jerusalem at the Passover celebration, many began to trust in him.
24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
24 But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all people.
24 But Jesus on his part did not entrust himself to them, because he knew all people
24 But Jesus didn't entrust his life to them. He knew them inside and out, knew how untrustworthy they were.
24 But Jesus did not commit Himself to them, because He knew all men,
24 But Jesus didn't trust them, because he knew all about people.
(Read John 2:23-25)
Our Lord knew all men, their nature, dispositions, affections, designs, so as we do not know any man, not even ourselves. He knows his crafty enemies, and all their secret projects; his false friends, and their true characters. He knows who are truly his, knows their uprightness, and knows their weaknesses. We know what is done by men; Christ knows what is in them, he tries the heart. Beware of a dead faith, or a formal profession: carnal, empty professors are not to be trusted, and however men impose on others or themselves, they cannot impose on the heart-searching God.
