John 15:24

εἰ τὰ ἔργα … οὐκ εἶχον. This repeats in a slightly varied form the statement of John 15:22. He had not only come and spoken, but had done works which none other had done, cf. John 3:2; John 9:32; John 7:31. The miracles wrought by Christ were themselves of a kind fitted to produce faith. In them men were meant to see God, John 5:17; John 5:19-20. So that He could say, νῦν δὲ καὶ ἑωράκασι … μου. This is their guilt, that they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. This does not imply that they had been conscious of seeing the Father in Christ, but only that in point of fact they had done so. Cf. John 14:9; John 1:18.
