Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believe not: the works that I do in my Father's name, these bear witness of me.

Jesus answered them: I speak to you, and you believe not: the works that I do in the name of my Father, they give testimony of me.

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye do not believe. The works which I do in my Father's name, these bear witness concerning me:

Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I did in my Father's name, they testify concerning me.

Jesus answered them, 'I told you, and ye do not believe; the works that I do in the name of my Father, these testify concerning me;

"I have told you," answered Jesus, "and you do not believe. The deeds that I do in my Father's name - they give testimony about me.

Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

Jesus answered them: "I speak to you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in the name of my Father, these offer testimony about me.

"I have told you so," replied Jesus, "and you do not believe me. The work that I am doing in my Father's name bears testimony to me.

I have told you. Our Lord Jesus [1] does not conceal that he is the Christ, and yet he does not teach them as if they were willing to learn, but rather reproaches them with obstinate malice, because, though they had been taught by the word and works of God, they had not yet made any progress. Accordingly, that they do not know him, he imputes to their own fault, as if he said: "My doctrine is easily enough understood, but the blame lies with you, because you maliciously resist God." The works which I do. He speaks of his works, in order to convict them of being doubly obstinate; for, besides the doctrine, they had a striking testimony in his miracles, if they had not been ungrateful to God. He twice repeats the words, You do not believe, in order to prove that, of their own accord, they were deaf to doctrine, and blind to works; which is a proof of extreme and desperate malice. He says that he did the works in the name of his Father; because his design was, to testify the power of God in them, by which it might be openly declared that he came from God.

Footnotes

1 - "Nostre Seigneur Jesus."

I told you - It is not recorded that Jesus had told them in so many words that he was the Christ, but he had used expressions designed to convey the same truth, and which many of them understood as claiming to be the Messiah. See John 5:19; John 8:36, John 8:56; John 10:1. The expression "the Son of God" they understood to be equivalent to the Messiah. This he had often used of himself in a sense not to be mistaken.
The works - The miracles, such as restoring the blind, curing the sick, etc.
In my Father's name - By the power and command of God. Jesus was either the Messiah or an impostor. The Pharisees charged him with being the latter Matthew 26:60-61; Matthew 27:63; John 18:36; but God would not give such power to an impostor. The power of working miracles is an attestation of God to what is taught. See the notes at Matthew 4:24.

I told you, etc. - That is, I told you before what I tell you now again, that the works which I do, bear testimony to me. I have told you that I am the light of the world: the Son of God: the good shepherd: that I am come to save - to give life - to give liberty - to redeem you: that, in order to this, I must die, and rise again; and that I am absolute master of my life, and of my death. Have you not noticed my omniscience, in searching and discovering the very secrets of your hearts? Have you not seen my omnipotence in the miracles which I have wrought? Have not all these been sufficient to convince you? - and yet ye will not believe! - See the works which bore testimony to him, as the Messiah, enumerated, Matthew 11:5 (note).

(8) Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.
(8) The doctrine of the gospel is proved from heaven by two witnesses: both by the purity of the doctrine and by miracles.

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.

Jesus answered them, I told you--that is, in substance, what I am (for example John 7:37-38; John 8:12, John 8:35-36, John 8:58).

I told you, and ye believed not. See John 5:19; John 8:36, John 8:56, John 8:58 and John 9:36.
