If I had not done among them
This phrase emphasizes the unique and divine actions of Jesus during His earthly ministry. The Greek word for "done" (ἐποίησα, epoiēsa) implies not just performing actions but creating or bringing something into existence. Jesus' works were not ordinary; they were manifestations of divine power and authority. Historically, these works were performed in a Jewish context, where signs and wonders were expected of the Messiah. Jesus' miracles were a direct fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, serving as evidence of His messianic identity.

the works that no one else did
The "works" refer to the miracles and teachings of Jesus, which were unparalleled in history. The Greek term for "works" (ἔργα, erga) encompasses deeds, actions, and accomplishments. These works were not just miraculous but also carried deep spiritual significance, revealing the nature of God and His kingdom. In the historical context, no other prophet or religious leader had performed such works, which were meant to authenticate Jesus' divine mission and identity.

they would not be guilty of sin
This phrase highlights the accountability that comes with witnessing the divine works of Jesus. The Greek word for "guilty" (ἁμαρτίαν, hamartian) is often translated as "sin," indicating a moral failing or transgression against God's law. Jesus is stating that the revelation of His works brought a new level of responsibility to those who witnessed them. In a scriptural context, this echoes the principle that greater revelation brings greater accountability, as seen throughout the Bible.

But now they have seen
The act of "seeing" here is not just physical sight but spiritual perception. The Greek word (ἑώρακαν, heōrakan) implies a deeper understanding or realization. Those who witnessed Jesus' works had the opportunity to recognize Him as the Messiah. This phrase underscores the tragedy of spiritual blindness, where despite clear evidence, many failed to accept Jesus' divine nature and mission.

and hated both Me and My Father
The word "hated" (ἐμίσησαν, emisēsan) is strong, indicating a deep-seated animosity or rejection. This rejection of Jesus is equated with a rejection of God the Father, highlighting the unity between the Son and the Father. Historically, this reflects the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders of His time, who saw His claims and works as a threat to their authority. Scripturally, this hatred fulfills the prophecy of the suffering servant and illustrates the spiritual battle between light and darkness.

(24) If I had not done among them the works.--Comp. Note on John 15:22, and for the evidence of our Lord's works, see John 5:36; John 9:3-4; John 9:24; John 10:21; John 10:37; John 14:10. They met the evidence of works by the assertion that He was a sinner, and possessed a devil. Their hatred led them to ascribe the highest good to the power of evil. To such hearts there are no channels by which goodness can approach. (Comp. especially Notes on Matthew 12:31-32.) . . . Verse 24. - If I had not done among them works which none other did Here he comes down from "Word" to "work," and indicates the lower agency, that of works, which are neither inoperative nor valueless, and which transcend all other similar deeds. They are works of the Son of God, works of creation and of healing, triumphant conflict with the forces of nature and the malice of the devil, of a kind which may be compared with, but which exceed all human and angelic ministry. They had not had sin, but now they have both seen and hated both me and my Father. The works as well as the words of Christ might have softened their hearts, but the Divine claims, which were thus pressed home upon the conscience, provoked their malice. "They took counsel to kill him;" "They took up stones to stone him." They hated God as God, and goodness and truth just because they were goodness and truth. The awful condemnation is here pronounced, "that men loved darkness rather than light." They positively saw their Father, and hated him. This is the most terrible condemnation that can be pronounced on moral beings.
