CommentOrigenPublic domainJohn 8:44–47

But how is this said to the Jews who believed on Him? Consider: a man may believe in one sense, not believe in another; e. g. that our Lord was crucified by Pontius Pilate, but not that He was born of the Virgin Mary. In this same way, those whom He is speaking to, believed in Him as a worker of miracles, which they saw Him to be; but did not believe in His doctrines, which were too deep for them.

Reproduced in full. Translation: Oxford 1841 (Newman), public domain (Public domain).

Also cites: tom. xx. 24.
