This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
36. εἶπον ὑμῖν. When? no such saying is recorded. Ewald thus finds some slight evidence for his theory that a whole sheet of this Gospel has been lost between chapters 5. and 6. But the reference may easily be to one of the countless unrecorded sayings of Christ, or possibly to the general sense of Joh 5:37-44. In the latter case ‘you’ must mean the Jewish nation, for those verses were addressed to Jews at Jerusalem. Or the reference may be to the spirit of Joh 6:26, which accuses them of having seen His miracles without believing that they were signs.
καὶ ἑωράκ. see on Joh 1:18, Ye have even seen Me (not merely heard of Me) and (yet) do not believe. The tragic tone again (see on Joh 1:5), followed by a pause. The next sentence has no conjunction.
