John 15:24 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.

If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, х epoieesen (G4160) is beyond doubt the true reading: the received text - pepoieeken (G4160), 'hath done'-has but inferior support].

They had not had sin - rather as before, 'would not have sin,' comparatively:

But now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father: they saw His Father revealed in Him, and in Him they hated both the Father and the Son. In John 15:22 He places the special aggravation of their guilt in His having "come and spoken to them;" here He makes it consist in their having seen Him do the works which none other man did. See the notes at John 14:10-11, where we have the same association of His works and His words, as either of them sufficient to show that the Father was in Him and He in the Father.
