John 12:37

Although he had done many miracles while people were watching, most of them refused to believe that he is ◄ the Messiah/from God►.

Translation for Translators

In The King James Version

But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:

In Context

36Believe in my message [MET] while you still have an opportunity to do it, in order that you may become people who have accepted my truth [MET]!” After Jesus said those things, he left them and hid from them.

38Their stubbornness and refusal to believe was similar to the stubbornness of the people that the prophet Isaiah wrote about long ago: Lord, ◄hardly anyone has believed our message!/who has believed our message?► [RHQ] Most people refused to accept it, even though you showed them your power!

Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. 28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. 29 The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. 30 Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes.… Read the whole commentary →
