Exegesis

The final clause kai ten martyrian hemon ou lambanete {καὶ τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἡμῶν οὐ λαμβάνετε | kaí tḗn martyrían hēmōn ou lambánete} turns from parallel witness to rejection: the fronted object ten martyrian hemon {τὴν μαρτυρίαν ἡμῶν | tḕn martyrían hēmōn} is highlighted before the negative verb lambanete {λαμβάνετε | lambánete}, intensifying the hearers’ refusal to receive the testimony. The verse therefore moves from solemn assertion to balanced witness to direct rebuke, with the plural we set against the plural you to sharpen the contrast between authoritative testimony and unbelieving reception.

In contextJohn 3:11

Truly, truly , I say to you that what we know we speak, and what we have seen we bear witness to, and you do not receive our testimony.
