{And ye will not come to me} (kai ou thelete elthein pros
me). "And yet" (kai) as often in John. "This is the tragedy of
the rejection of Messiah by the Messianic race" (Bernard). See
 Joh 1:11  Mt 23:37  (kai ouk (8874)hel(8873)ate, and ye would not).
Men loved darkness rather than light ( Joh 3:19 ). {That ye may
have life} (hina z(9388)n ech(8874)e). Life in its simplest form as in
 3:36  (cf.  3:16 ). This is the purpose of John in writing the
Fourth Gospel ( 20:31 ). There is life only in Christ Jesus.
