The Unbelief of the People
“But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:”
John 12:37 (KJV)
Commentary on John 12:37
Despite 'so many miracles,' the majority don't believe, fulfilling Isaiah's prophecy (Is 53:1). The Greek construction emphasizes stubborn unbelief despite overwhelming evidence. Miracles authenticate Jesus' claims but don't guarantee belief—faith requires spiritual regeneration, not merely empirical proof. This demonstrates total depravity: even undeniable evidence doesn't penetrate unregenerate hearts. Their unbelief validates Jesus' earlier teaching about needing spiritual birth (3:3). The fulfillment of Isaiah proves God's sovereignty over even human rebellion.
