36. But. Though you have seen as you asked, I repeat what I said to you that you have seen and do not believe.

87. All that (wav 6). The neuter singular of the adjective and pronoun. All believers are regarded as one complete whole. Compare xvii. 24, according to the correct reading, “that which Thou hast given me.”

Shall come (€e). Emphasizing the idea of reaching or arriwing.

Cometh (épxopuevov). A different verb, emphasizing the pro- cess of coming.

38. From heaven (é« Tov ovpavov). But the best texts read ato, from, instead of é«, out of, the idea being rather that of departure (i came down) than of origin. I came down should be as Rev. (J am come down). The tense is the perfect.

39. The Father’s will. Omit the Father's. Render, the will of Him, ete.

That of all which He hath given me (iva wav 6 Sédaxé vot). The construction is a peculiar and broken one. Add which He hath gwen, stands alone as an absolute nominative ; a very emphatic and impressive mode of statement. Literally it reads, that all which He hath given me I should lose nothing out of i.

At the last day (¢v 7H éoydrn juépa). The phrase occurs only in John.

40. And this (dé). The best texts read yap, for. There is a logecal connection between the last sentence and the following. The Father’s will in preserving and raising up that which he has given to the Son, includes in its fulfilment the believing con- templation of the Son and its issue in eternal life.

Of Him that sent me. The best texts substitute marpés you, of my Father.
