This reasoning was conclusive. The fact that Jesus could perform miracles like this was full proof that he was commissioned by God – proof that never has been and never can be refuted. One such miracle proves that he was from God. But Jesus gave many similar proofs, and thus put his divine mission beyond the possibility of doubt.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 33. If this man were not of God<\/B><\/I>, c.] A very just conclusion: God is the fountain of all good: all good must proceed from him, and no good can be done but through him if this person were not commissioned by the good God, he could not perform such beneficent miracles as these.<\/P> <\/p>\n If therefore this man (for still he apprehended him no more) had not some special authority from God, and there were not some special presence of God with him, he could do nothing that is of this nature. It is a work beyond the power of man, and beyond that power first we read God did ever trust any man with. <\/P> <\/p>\n If this man were not of God<\/strong>,….
