Study Note

Jesus's statement — 'if I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin' — establishes that miraculous signs intensify culpability: witness to greater revelation creates greater accountability. The 'works' (erga) here refer to the Johannine 'signs' (sēmeia) — healings, the feeding, raising of Lazarus — each intended to generate faith in Jesus's identity as the one sent from the Father. The verse forms part of the Farewell Discourse section on the world's hatred (John 15:18–25) and explains hostility toward the disciples as a continuation of the world's rejection of Jesus. The consequent fulfillment of Psalm 35:19 ('they hated me without cause') anchors the eschatological drama in Israel's liturgical tradition.
