Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
How can ye believe, etc.—(See on John 5:40-41). The "will not" of John 5:40, and "cannot" here are just different features of the same awful state of the human heart.
if another shall come, etc.—How strikingly has this been verified in the history of the Jews! "From the time of the true Christ to our time, sixty-four false Christs have been reckoned by whom they have been deceived" [BENGEL].
