NASB | John 16:31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now believe? |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | John 16:31 Jesus answered them, "Do you now [at last] believe? |
Bible Question: ... |
Bible Answer: Jesus made clear throughout the Gospels that He was fulfilling the Old Testament Scriptures. See e.g. Matthew 5.17; Matthew 11.4-5 compare Isaiah 35.5-6. Thus He would have been disappointed had they NOT believed that He was sent as an emissary of the God of the Old Testament, Who was the God of Judaism. And no, John 16.31 says simply 'arti pisteuete', that is, 'Do you now believe?' There is nothing in the Greek that suggests 'that'. And it would be inconsistent with the whole context. The very point is the contrast of their present confidence with their future failure. |
