This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
26. διὰ τί οὐκ ἐπιστεύσατε αὐτῷ; A clear proof (1) that the priests had kept aloof from John though he was of the priestly caste; and (2) that John pointed to Jesus as the Messiah. For πιστεύειν αὐτῷ, cp. Dem. Phil. II. 6, οἱ θαῤῥοῦντες καὶ πεπιστευκότες αὐτῷ, ‘Those who have no fears and believe Philip.’ See note ch. Mat 18:6.
