47 But since you do not believe what he wrote, how are you going to believe what I say?"
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe my words?"
47 If you won't take seriously what he wrote, how can I expect you to take seriously what I speak?"
47 But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"
47 But since you don't believe what he wrote, how will you believe what I say?"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on John 5:47
Commentary on John 5:45-47
(Read John 5:45-47)
Many trust in some form of doctrines or some parties, who no more enter into the real meaning of those doctrines, or the views of the persons whose names they bear, than the Jews did into those of Moses. Let us search and pray over the Scriptures, as intent on finding eternal life; let us observe how Christ is the great subject of them, and daily apply to him for the life he bestows.
