John 5:40 - Additional Comments

This is the root of the problem. It is not a lack of information, of knowledge, but of the heart and mind. They are not willing to accept that Jesus is the King of the Jews. Jesus gives life, and without Him there is no life. These people did not have the life, despite their passion for what they believe was the truth. Jesus is the truth (John 14:6). They accepted a lie -- a lie completely based on the Scriptures, the words of truth. But they did not allow those words to mean what they truly meant. They had to distort them to be able to believe the lie.
Compare this to 1 Pet 1:10-11.
