found nowhere else in the New Testament. Some authorities read drrep, above.
44. Cried (&pafev). This is not meant to relate a reap- pearance of Jesus in public. The close of His public ministry is noted at ver. 36. It is in continuation of the Evangelist’s own remarks, and introduces a summary of Jesus’ past teaching to the Jews.
Believeth—on Him that sent Me (uotever—eis Tov méurp- avté pe). This is the first and almost the only place in the Gospel where the words believe on are used with reference to the Father. This rendering in v. 24 is an error. See xiv. 1. The phrase is constantly associated with our Lord. At the same time it is to be noted that it contemplates the Father as the source of the special revelation of Christ, and therefore is not absolutely an exception to the habitual usage. The same is true of xiv. 1.
45. Seeth (Sewpei). Rev., properly, beholdeth. Compare xiv. 9. The word is purposely chosen to mark an éntent, con- tinuous contemplation of Christ, issuing in ever larger knowl- edge of the Father.
lam come (éAjAv9a). The perfect tense, pointing to the abiding result of His manifestation. Compare v. 43; vil. 28; viii. 42; xvi. 28; xviii. 37.
Abide in darkness. The phrase occurs only here. Com-
pare 1 John ii. 9, 11; also viii. 12; xii. 35.
47. Believe not (42) muctevon). The best texts read guddén, keep (them).
Came (#A9ov). The aorist tense, pointing to the purpose of the coming, as Z am come (ver. 46) to the result, Compare viii. 14; ix. 39; x. 10; xii. 27, 47; xv. 22. Both tenses are found in viii. 42; xvi. 28.
48, Rejecteth (aJerdv). See on Luke vii. 30.
