In John 10:37 I wonder why the dative MOI is used instead of the accusative ME.
EI OU POIW TA ERGA TOU PATROS MOU, MH PISTEUETE MOI
Also, I see the last phrase MH PISTEUETE MOI translated as:
do not believe me.
Could it be translated:
do not believe IN me?
I am interested primarily in why the dative was used and what range of meanings
the dative MOI carries.
Thanks,
