John 5:47
_ _ If ye believe not — (See Luke 16:31).
_ _ his writings ... my words — a remarkable contrast, not absolutely exalting Old Testament Scripture above His own words, but pointing to the office of those venerable documents to prepare Christ’s way, to the necessity universally felt for documentary testimony in revealed religion, and perhaps (as Stier adds) to the relation which the comparative “letter” of the Old Testament holds to the more flowing “words” of “spirit and life” which characterize the New Testament. |
Luke 16:29 Abraham saith unto him, They have Moses and the prophets; let them hear them.
Luke 16:31 And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the prophets, neither will they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead.
