Psalms 78:22

78:22 because they did not have faith in God,

and did not trust his ability to deliver them. ¹ 

Luke 16:31

16:31 He ²  replied to him, ‘If they do not respond to ³  Moses and the prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’” ⁴ 

John 12:37

The Outcome of Jesus’ Public Ministry Foretold

12:37 Although Jesus ⁵  had performed ⁶  so many miraculous signs before them, they still refused to believe in him,

[78:22]  ¹ tn Heb “and they did not trust his deliverance.”

[16:31]  ² tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[16:31]  ³ tn Or “obey”; Grk “hear.” See the note on the phrase “respond to” in v. 29.

[16:31]  ⁴ sn The concluding statement of the parable, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead, provides a hint that even Jesus’ resurrection will not help some to respond. The message of God should be good enough. Scripture is the sign to be heeded.

[12:37]  ⁵ tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[12:37]  ⁶ tn Or “done.”
