This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Except ye see (ean mē idēte). Condition of the third class (ean mē, negative, with second aorist active subjunctive of horaō). Jesus is not discounting his “signs and wonders” (sēmeia kai terata, both words together here only in John, though common in N.T. as in Mat 24:24; Mar 13:22; Act 2:19, Act 2:22, Act 2:43; 2Th 2:9; Heb 2:4), though he does seem disappointed that he is in Galilee regarded as a mere miracle worker.
Ye will in no wise believe (ou mē pisteusēte). Strong double negative with aorist active subjunctive of pisteuō, picturing the stubborn refusal of people to believe in Christ without miracles.
