37 But though he had done so many miracles before them, yet they believed not on him:
37 Even after Jesus had performed so many signs in their presence, they still would not believe in him.
37 Though he had done so many signs before them, they still did not believe in him,
37 All these God-signs he had given them and they still didn't get it, still wouldn't trust him.
37 But although He had done so many signs before them, they did not believe in Him,
37 But despite all the miraculous signs Jesus had done, most of the people still did not believe in him.

Commentary on John 12:37-43
(Read John 12:37-43)
Observe the method of conversion implied here. Sinners are brought to see the reality of Divine things, and to have some knowledge of them. To be converted, and truly turned from sin to Christ, as their Happiness and Portion. God will heal them, will justify and sanctify them; will pardon their sins, which are as bleeding wounds, and mortify their corruptions, which are as lurking diseases. See the power of the world in smothering convictions, from regard to the applause or censure of men. Love of the praise of men, as a by-end in that which is good, will make a man a hypocrite when religion is in fashion, and credit is to be got by it; and love of the praise of men, as a base principle in that which is evil, will make a man an apostate, when religion is in disgrace, and credit is to be lost for it.
