This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
And (kai). “And yet” as in Joh 1:10 and Joh 5:40 below.
His word abiding in you (ton logon autou en humin menonta). But God’s word had come to them through the centuries by the prophets. For the phrase see Joh 10:35; Joh 15:3; Joh 17:6; 1Jo 1:10; 1Jo 2:14.
Him ye believe not (toutōi humeis ou pisteuete). “This one” (toutōi, dative case with pisteuete) in emphatic relation to preceding “he” (ekeinos, God). Jesus has given them God’s word, but they reject both Jesus and God’s word (Joh 14:9).
