‏ John 5:43

In my Father's name ( εν τω ονοματ του πατρος μου ). Seven times Jesus in John speaks of the "Name" of the Father (5:43; 10:25; 12:28; 17:6, 11, 12, 26). See 1:12 for use of ονομα (Lu 1:49).

And ye receive me not ( κα ου λαμβανετε με ). "And yet ye do not receive me," as in verse 40, "the Gospel of the Rejection" (1:11; 3:11, 32; 12:37) often applied to the Fourth Gospel.

If another come ( εαν αλλος ελθη ). Condition of third class ( εαν and second aorist active subjunctive of ερχομα ). Note αλλος, not ετερος, like αλλον Ιησουν in 2Co 11:4. Similar prophecies occur in Mr 13:6, 22 (Mt 24:5, 24), all general in character like Antichrist in 2Th 2:8-12. There is no occasion for a reference to any individual like Barcochba (about A.D. 134) as Pfleiderer and Schmiedel hold. These Messianic upstarts all come "in their own name" and always find a following.

Him ye will receive ( εκεινον λημψεσθε ). "That one," whoever he is, as Jesus said. Future active indicative of λαμβανω. Credulous about the false Messiahs, incredulous about Christ.
