Carefully consider John 5:41-44, especially verse 44. Jesus phrases things in such a way that, the more you ponder them, the more meaning you take away.
How could people witness the miracles Jesus performed and still refuse to accept what He said? The root, the nature, and the result of unbelief are laid bare in John 5. The problem was not with the message, or with the evidence for the message, but with the hearts of those who heard the message and saw the miracles. No evidence, no amount of teaching will produce faith in a proud heart. The desire to find happiness in the praise of other people is deadly to all spiritual desires.
