This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Think not (mē dokeite). Prohibition with mē and the present imperative. See on Joh 5:39 for dokeō for mistaken opinions in John.
I will accuse you (egō katēgorēsō humōn). Emphasis on egō (I). Future active indicative of katēgoreō (kata, against, agoreuō, to speak in the assembly agora, to bring an accusation in court, a public accusation). See Rom 3:9 for proaitiaomai for making previous charge and Luk 16:1 for diaballō, a secret malicious accusation, and Rom 8:33 for egkaleō, for public charge, not necessarily before tribunal.
Even Moses (Mōusēs). No “even” in the Greek.
On whom ye have set your hope (eis hon humeis ēlpikate). Perfect active indicative of elpizō, state of repose in Moses. Only example of elpizō in John. See 2Co 1:10 for use of eis with elpizō instead of the usual epi (1Ti 4:10).
