John 5:24

Verse 24. He that heareth my word. To hear, in this place, evidently denotes not the outward act of hearing, but to receive in a proper manner; to suffer it to make its proper impression on the mind; to obey. The word hear is often used in this sense, Mt 11:15; Joh 8:47; Ac 3:23. Many persons outwardly hear the gospel who neither understand nor obey it. My word. My doctrine, my teaching. All that Jesus taught about himself, as well as about the Father. On him that sent me. On the Father, who, in the plan of redemption, is represented as sending his Son to save men. See Joh 3:17.
