A Charge of Ingratitude to God
Commentators note that Jesus's question is a powerful accusation of ingratitude. By emphasizing that his many miracles of healing and provision were 'from the Father,' he frames their attack not just as an assault on him, but as a rejection of God's direct blessings and kindness. As John Calvin wrote, they were directing their rage 'against the gifts of God.'
