Exegesis
Within this clause, the prepositional phrase en autais {ἐν αὐταῖς | en au-taîs} locates the perceived source of benefit “in them,” while the infinitival phrase zoen aionion echein {ζωὴν αἰώνιον ἔχειν | zō-ḗn ai-ṓ-ni-on é-khein} functions as the content of their thinking, “that you have eternal life.”
In context — John 5:39
Search the Scriptures , because you think that in them you have eternal life; and these are the ones that testify about Me .
